Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate GTS 5

Shoes look nice but quite a bit narrower than the Brooks Adrenaline. Same size as adrenaline but with Levitate can?t insert any orthotics. Fit is much tighter. Not the best fit for me but will most probably be fine with another kind of food

It's probably just my feet but .....I don't like how the back of the sneaker is so low at my heel....the support and cushioning is great but my foot is barely in the shoe at the heel area.

I find that the heel part is not strong enough. The ones I purchased before were good, but this pair when slipping on my shoes the collar/counter goes down and I have to pull it up, Same size as I have always worn from brooks, so you can not tell me they are to small. They seem to be getting very cheaply made and I believe I will be switching to a different brand>

Thinking of returning these, shoes did not have any paper inserts, not covered in plastic etc, I think they may have been returned and reshipped to me, scuffs on sole. The fit is ok.

They?re a good, solid shoe; definitely a plus for stability, though they?re not very cushy or springy (my glycerins are the BOMB for comfort!)

I'm a sucker for an anatomical toe box, aka shoes that aren't narrow at the toes. I've got other Brooks medium width sneakers in the past, these were super snug in comparison. Sadly these are getting returned.

Shoes came with 2 different shoelaces. I cannot tie the left shoe because it?s so short. Upon contacting Brooks- they told me they could not send me replacement laces. I should go buy my own or return the entire shoe. Poor customer service. I?m sad because I have worn Brooks for years.

I really like the springy sole but the upper does not provide enough stability. My feet are constantly shifting side-to-side and using thicker socks doesn?t help. The upper material also looks very worn considering low usage, only three weeks in.

Same thing,the shoes fits too tight. I have not use them more than 5 times and for small periods of 2-3 hours only.

Very uncomfortable fit. Too small in toe box. I don't have wide feet, but I couldn't move toes even when trying a half size larger. I plan to return both sizes.

I purchased them for the support description but my heals hurt after a while.

Terrible! One star is generous. I bought these after LOVING my adrenalines. I?m a manager in a restaurant so I am on my feet a lot usually - 6 to 12 hours per shift. After two days of wearing these shoes, I?ve had pains I?ve never had before - knees, ankles, heels and I?m still ?recovering?. I see why these were on clearance! Thank god for Brooks hassle free returns. These weren?t even out of the box for 72 hours before I threw them right back in the box.

The shoe is too flat footed. I have an high arch and thought these shoes were good for stability. I?m going to stick with my adrenaline. I won?t give up, I love my Brooks

The part around top of ankle area was too short and rubbed the side of the top of my ankle area.

Bought this to try it out. I absolutely love the Adrenaline running shoes. This shoe was about the same price so why not? Well.... there are lots of differences, not for the best either. First, the shoe laces are shorter by about 3 inches. It baffles the mind, why shorten the laces? Second, the sole does not grip as well as the Adrenaline. Do not even think of walking on a sidewalk in the rain in Seattle. I slipped and ended up in the ER getting stitches. Third, the heel is narrower than the Adrenaline. I use orthopedic inserts and you can tell the grasp of the ankle is off. Decided not to even try this shoe on a treadmill, not worth discovering what would happen. I love Brooks shoes & will continue to buy them. This shoe is a disappointment.

I ordered a 7 and it fit like a 6! Too narrow also. I had to send back and order a different style and color. Was very disappointed in this shoe but I love the Adrenaline! Fits me perfectly and has great support!

No, just no. I bought in an attempt to replace my Launch GTS 8 - the Launch GTS 9 is a completely different fit and unwearable (shorter, narrow toe box, less support). This was my 3rd attempt at replacing those beloved PERFECT shoes. These are tight (I have never taken a running shoe in anything other than a 6 M) and they pinched. They went right back untested.

Not what I expected. After running in these for a few weeks, my shins and feet ache. Actually returning them. I purchased the Launch Gts 9?s - which is the style of shoe I?ve been running in.

Very disappointed. Not at all like my levitate 2 they were stiff not a true medium and did not fee ahhhh when I first put them on I quickly returned them. Bring back levitate 2 and I will return to Brooks as my one and only walking shoe. ?

I had to return them because they were too narrow. I was super disappointed they don't come in a wide width. I take a normal width in another Brooks shoe.

Ouch! I have blisters on both feet. Have kept them for over 6 months to brake them in. I have tried EVERYTHING. I tie them as tight as possible so they don?t slide around. I bought taller socks, glide stick. Nothing has worked.
