The shoe was way too tight. It was cutting the circulation in my feet. The size was right though.

I have been wearing exclusively Brooks for 12 years and this pair did not make the cut. They had a hugging fit that made it ok on the foot but difficult to put on because of the short tongue. Quite literally tongue tied. If this color combo came in the Launch or Glycerin I would buy multiple pairs.

These shoes were so uncomfortable that I had to change 3 hours after putting them on.

I ordered these a 1/2 size larger as advised and because of the structure of the shoe and very short tongue, I could not even get them on my feet. Very disappointed because they are attractive shoes. Just a poor design. They are going back.

The tongue of the shoe is too tight for my foot. Once I get them on, they feel fine. But they aren?t easy putting on.

I want to love these, but unfortunately after trying both the 8.5 (which is my normal size) and then the size 9, I have to find a shoe that fits better. Both sizes felt way too tight and snug, which is very different from the levitate 3s.

Runs small! Had to return. Not reordering in larger size because there is no cushioning in the heel of this model like in my older version, which is important to me. I will try something different. Too bad because I wore my old ones constantly and was very comfortable.

I'm not as happy with the levitate 4 as I was with the 3's. The fit is different and the tongue is flimsy. I miss my 3's.

They were nothing like my last 8 pair of Brooks Levitate. Zero support or shock absorption. I just reordered the same as my last pair.

Not as good as they used to be! Absolutely loved my first pair of Brooks which were the Levitate 2. Purchased the Launch shortly after which I was pleased with, however never liked them as much as my levitates. Went back to the levitates this time around but they made changes to the shoe which made them so uncomfortable to run in. I do not have a wide foot yet they felt very tight around my forefoot and toes and I even went up a half size. Additionally, they are lighter in weight which is great but it means some of the general cushioning is gone which lead to a lot of metatarsal pain. I use my old levitates as yard shoes and put them on one foot while the other had on the levitate 4 in order to compare and it is such a drastic difference. What a bummer!!

I love the color, and that is the only thing. I got the rose/pink one. I don't understand why companies are cutting on how they are made. I could not get my foot in the shoe. The half tongue, I could, but across the top beyond that half tongue, so tight. After over 1 minute of trying to get a single shoe on, I finally did, and it was so tight across the top, my foot was screaming. I do not have a wide foot. I have warn M weight sneakers all my days. But lately, companies, are so cheap in the making of their product, quality is out the window. Maybe it was just these shoes in particular, I might try another brooks, but this style, unless you have a foot with no kind of width to it at the top of the foot, but the width across by the toes, fine. These shoes suck, minus the color. Love the color. Sad.

I don’t feel that I should review these as I couldn’t get them on my foot. I feel it was more a personal problem than the shoe .

Too tight. I put my orthotics in the shoes and I can barely get my foot into the shoe. When I do it's so tight and very uncomfortable on the top of my foot. This is what the first time I've been dissatisfied with your sneakers.

Hate that the tongue is tied down. I already have narrow feet to begin with and these are TIGHT. Very disappointed in the 4s. The insole is not as comfortable as the 2s. I LOVE my levitate 2s.

I returned them. These were my 17th pair of Brooks in a size 7.5. However, these were way too tight and caused blisters

Ive been ordering many levitate shoes but this go around for me was a flop. The size was different, much more narrow and very uncomfortable. This was my only running shoe but it changed completely. Disappointing. Size 8
