Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate Stealthfit GTS 5

Heel area not much cushion

They're very good looking shoes. They are supportive and comfortable. I have narrow feet bu I can see why others find them slightly to narrow. Unfortunately they are not as springy as they are advertised to be. I don't feel the returned energy as is advertised.

I just received my new shoes, which I wanted to try something different. These are very cool looking and fit extremely well. The overall sock type design is very comfortable. Unfortunately, they are on their way back to Brooks as the sole is so thin it is painful to walk on gravel surfaces as you can feel every pebble. Took my first 5 mile walk today and was in severe pain at the end. It's sad because the uppers are so comfortable. They would be great with a more padded sole and are better suited to barefoot runners/walkers. Trading them in for some good old Ghost 14's.

The ankle pad/support of the shoe has been giving me issues. I miss the levitate 2.

Comfortable but not as comfortable as the ghost series. The tongue comes up too far on the top of my foot.

Fits very narrow and smaller compared to other Brooks shoes I?ve owned. I would return if I had kept the box. Looks nice though.

I loved the way they looked. I have low arches and thought that these shoes would help my over pronation. The arch support really hurt my feet. I had to send them back. It took just over a month for me to get my refund. I bought the glycerines instead at a local store.

I liked the fit of this shoe a lot. Definitely, loved it for running. I needed more cushion for running so I had to return it though.

So far so good. I like the color and the fact that the bottom isn't white -- so they should look new for a longer period of time.

Nice shoes. Very good looking, but a little less cushion than the name of the shoe would suggest.

I've been running with Brooks Glycerin series and I need a tempo running training so ordered this pair, Leviate 3, stealthfit. it is a good lookign shoes but unfortunately it runs smaller than Glycerin. I wear sz 8.5 for men. After 3miles tempo run, i experienced pain on heel cup area. The good part was this pair was springy. I recommend 1/2 size larger or wider width to order if you want to try.

These are way different from the bedlam shoes for sure. StealthFit is much tighter maybe consider creating a double wide in these. I wear men?s shoes because the D width is needed. Fits like a glove and feels like a regular width.

Did not like the stealth fit on these running shoes. No matter how I lace /tighten them up it never feels right. I pull the laces tight, have to triple the knot/bow because the uppers have so much stretch. The upper material has way too much stretch for what feels like a secure fit. Then after starting out I end up trying to tighten them up even more. These are size 9.5, regular width. This is my 3rd pair of brooks, all size 9.5, in some other brands I have gone to size 10 so I feel sizing isn't the problem. I am 71 years old, and am old school with regard to lacing up sneakers, stealth fit doesn't work for me. I can't get that snug, tight fit I'm used to. in traditional fit these would probably get 5 stars. Credit Brooks customer service as they have reached out to me about this. I should mention that stealth fit enabled easy on easy off of sneakers and I did like that aspect. Stealth fit might work for someone else, just not me. I have found my other Brooks running shoes to be great. Will buy Brooks again, without stealth.

A little tough putting on. I didn?t realize that they were constructed like that. I use them for walking. They are comfortable.

The shoes seam to be made ok, I bought and am returning these shoes. The description had them as ?springy?. My knees didn?t feel anything ?springy? about them. I love Brooks, but these shoes weren?t for me.

I wanted to love these. Probably the best fitting running shoe I?ve found. But it?s beyond me how Brooks can categorize this as a stability shoe. There?s zero cushion, and one 2-mile test run was all it took for me to return these. It?s a good shoe, but it?s not a good running shoe.

Very uncomfortable fit and the cheapest quality I have ever seen from Brooks.

Not nearly as comfortable as Ghosts! For me the fit runs big.

Causes the outside of my foot to have pain after wearing

The worst pair of Brooks I?ve ever put on my foot. Cushioning is very firm but doesn?t provide the springy feel you would expect. Something in the heel of the shoe makes them painful to wear.

Was not the shoe for me. Felt heavy yet didn't provide the type of support and stability I expected.

run small, do not feel springy.
