Customer Reviews Brooks Bedlam 3

My son loved his other brooks ? these pinched him in the heel and were uncomfortable for his wider foot

Bedlams have always been my running shoe and never had any issues. always felt great on my feet. until Bedlam 3s. the fit is different than the previous versions, not as much ankle support and changed running style to getting blisters. work great for working out so far, but will need to rethink the running style for these.

This is the first pair of sneakers I bought online. I like the way they look but the left shoe feels like its to tight. I loosened the laces and tried to stretch it out but still is uncomfortable. My other pair of Brooks, Levitate, I purchased in store and are great.

Great shoe, I feel it took a good 30miles to really break them in. It kept feeling link something under the foot was moving or bunching up. Nice light weight and springy (not sure if that's a word but it should be) Would be nice to have more color options. The uppers are nice and breathable. 3.5 Stars

Just sent mine back. I usually run in 8.5 so I ordered mine. They run very small/extremely "snug". Make sure you order half a size larger than you typically run in otherwise they will squeeze the life out of your poor feet! I still want to give them a try so I will order size 9.0. If they are amazing as I hope them to be I will be back in here in the future.

Admittedly, as an owner of 5 pairs of the Transcend, perhaps I am biased. However, I found this shoe extremely narrow, tight, and downright uncomfortable until they stretched out a bit (I wore them many hours per day around the house). They still only accommodate skin thin socks. They are very firm and probably not a choice for a big guy like me ( a plodder instead of a runner). A positive is that they have good motion control. I also like the look of the show (in black).

There is a lot of pressure on top of the foot even when the laces are not tied. This creates a very bad pressure point that leads to a sore foot while just walking. I had to return the shoes.

I love Brooks, I've worn nothing but Brooks for years because I like how they fit, and will order them online knowing that 11 always fits, but these 11s don't fit. They're small and tight, and have given me blisters. I prefer Ghost and Adrenaline to Bedlam, but have had a pair of Bedlam in the past that was pretty good, but be aware that at least my particular new pair runs smaller than other shoes I've bought from them - even old Bedlams, which fit before.

Nice but way too tight, returned unused.

Not sufficient support for me. Back comes up too high on the heel and rubs. Size runs very small. These are being returned, unfortunately.

Decent shoe when it is on but that is the problem. Most difficult shoe I have ever tried to put on my feet. I have no idea how this design made it thru all your design reviews. I bought them on line so had no idea that they would be so difficult to put on.

Maybe they'll break in, but way narrower than prior 2 pairs I bought Still comfortable, however

not as comfortable as the other shoes, but is good quailty

I am sure the Bedlam 3 is great shoe but it is not for me. I like trying new styles... but the flyknit style like fabric around the heal is very tight and abrasive and after a few hours I have to take them off. I wear a size 10 so that is what I ordered. Maybe a half size larger might solve the problem.

Too tight too narrow too firm (hard), a mistake for a bigger jogger who need cushioned support.

Don't buy if you liked the previous Bedlam 1 & 2! I loved the 3 pairs of previous Bedlam's I owned across the 1sr and 2nd gen. Was really excited to have finally found a shoe for my stability needs and to accommodate a slightly wider toebox. This is a completely redesigned shoe and runs much smaller, narrower and has removed all the comfortable padding from the upper that made the previous versions such a great shoe. Super frustrating when you find that go to shoe that gets your run totally dialed in and they have to drastically change it and you've got to go start the process all over again to find a good new running shoe! I even ordered a size up replacement and ran with thinner socks and found myself getting blisters and tingly toes.

Don't like it! Don't support well.
