Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate Stealthfit 5

I have the Diva Pink set and I can honestly say they are THE best Brooks I have ever bought?and I have tons of Brooks. I loved them so much that I bought a 2nd pair to put back to replace the 1st pair when they wear out. I recently bought the black/grey/white color pair and they are horrible. Possibly one of the worst pairs of Brooks I own. I will be sending them back. I have owned Ghost & Revel and this pair of Levitate feels more like those. Any nurse who has tried the different styles of Brooks should understand what I mean. Ghost & Revel are ok for running errands but NOT for running or working as a bedside nurse. Adrenaline & Levitate are where it?s at. This grey/black/white pair are tight on my feet. There?s not much support. Weirdly, I feel a burning sensation, maybe like they are not allowing appropriate circulation. I?m sad at the quality difference. I talk up Brooks to everyone. Many nurses I work with do not like Brooks because they ?don?t last?. I have never had this issue, though I alternate mine every 6 months to a year. Maybe these nurses had quality inconsistencies like I just had. To me, there?s no excuse. These are not cheap shoes. I have bought about 10 pair of Brooks, so far. I do plan on buying another pair of Levitates, in hopes that the quality will be up to standard. Buyers, keep this in mind. Brooks?.time to talk to your quality team.

I don?t like these shoes at all. They don?t have a tongue and the laces can?t be adjusted out to loosen the shoe at the top. The shoes themselves are too tight on the tops of my feet and I cannot wear my orthotics in them because they won?t fit due to the style of shoe. I bought these online and I didn?t know they were designed this way. Lesson learned. I wish I had a different pair but I will have to go into a store to try some on.

Ran a 6 mile race in these and ended up with a huge blister.

I wore these shoes to disney world and got blisters all on my toes. Now i?m 5?6 and weigh about 140 pounds and I?m in decent shape. These shoes were absolutely not good for jogging and walking long distances.

Very narrow and seems cheaply made. Would not buy again. Cushioning is ok for treadmill running but the sole is too thin to be comfortable outside. Disappointing.

The shoe ran too loose in the heels and a mile into my run I had two huge blisters on the back of both feet. Rather short I thought also. Navy and gold color was pretty cool.

Half size too small, didn?t care for the pull-on style. Returned.

I ordered these in the same size as my StealthFit 3 and 4s and they are too long. I am between a 6.5 and 7 because my feet are a little wide. This particular model is too long and looks silly as my toe line is noticeable too far which makes them appear too big...which they are lengthwise. I never kept the box nor did I try them on right away because I wrongly assumed they would fit like previous versions. I would have returned them had I kept the box. I am giving two stars because I do like how these do not tie like previous models.

Hurts my arches. I do like the light weight feel of them though.

A little to narrow. Not enough cushion

Unfortunately these shoes did not work well for me. I have bought my mom Brooks for a while now and thought I would try them out. I bought them to use for work because I am always on my feet and moving around a lot at events. Running, speed walking, all of the above around convention centers, etc. I wore my shoes for the first time three weeks ago at my first event after buying them and had horrible blisters on ALL of my toes by the end of the day. I don't know if it was the socks or what (I wear ankle socks) but I literally couldn't put them back on the rest of the week. My feet were in bad shape. I planned to try it one more time at my second event since they were back to back but my luggage was lost on the airline and my bag came 5 days after my event work started. I was really scared to wear them again. I think I am going to return them when I am back home next week because I can't seem to want to wear them again after the first experience.

Loved the color and the concept, but it might work out better for runners with narrow feet. It was terribly tight on the top portion of my foot, the sock type tongue causes too much compression, resulting in blisters and foot cramping while running. Sadly, I had to return them.

Love the look, love how light they are, hate the blisters. Perhaps they just need a longer break in period than every other pair of Brooks I?ve worn over the past 10yrs, but the heel area is super stiff and has been chewing holes in my heels without abatement. Halted my training plan cold. Pretty disappointing.

The color was awesome, but my heels kept slipping in the shoes. I had to return them.

I returned them?very different from the original Levitates (which I loved)

I like the levitate ? not crazy about the stealth.

I should have been warned by the reviews I?d this show giving blisters. I have had these for 2 month and new blisters pop up. Very disappointing. Will never buy these again

I so wanted these shoes to work out because I LOVE the pride colors. I started with my usual size 8.5. They fit great except the toe box was really long and the fabric was bunching up when I stepped. I exchanged for a size 8. Strangely, it was just as long in the toe box and my toes lined up at the same spot on the shoe as the size 8.5, but the rest of the shoe was too tight. I guess it just won't work for me, unfortunately. :(

I really liked how these shoes looked, but they were just too small. The first time I wore them I tried walking on my treadmill and could only walk for 13 minutes as my toes were numb and my heels hurt. I tried wearing them a second time but the blisters on my heels still hurt too bad, so I returned them back. The process of returning was very easy.
