I really love these shoes! I had to go up a half size from my usual size in Brooks, but once I got the right size, they fit like a glove. They are hard to get on, but I have a very narrow foot and they fit me great. I love the way they look too! They do not have as much cushion as the Ghost, but still pretty comfortable.

Had to return as they were too small. I have multiple Brooks Ghost in the same size I ordered that fit perfectly. These were at least 1/2 to the full size too small.

I love these shoes, however, the toe box is a little narrow for me, causing foot pain after wearing for a full day.

Although I had to return two sizes (my regular size and half a size up), I think I'd have liked the shoe if it fit. The footbed was comfortable and I like the concept of the stealth fit. But, it ran very narrow and I got blistered in them in odd places (bottom of foot and heel) in a very short wearing. Had to return. Currently trying the non-Stealfit Levitate.

Overall the shoe is not bad, but it rubbed a little too much around the top of the ankle. Cute shoes, but not exactly what I was hoping for in a Brooks.

I was looking to replace my Bedlam 3's I wear specifically for orange theory or cross training/gym sessions when running indoors on treadmill. Levitate replaced this style so I decided to go with stealthfit in anticipation that it would like to my feet better given mesh top. Overall, the shoe is sleek and fits great on my narrow feet for running on the treadmill. I also can feel the springiness of the shoe fulfilling it's "energize" classification type. However, I find that maybe due to the built in tongue that's not like your standard show, it doesn't get the complete snugness I would desire. Also, when I try to make the shoe tighter, I feel awkward pressure points where tightness is isolated to one part top of foot. This is main reason why I'm giving this 4 stars out of 5. Additionally, this shoe is NOT good for any type of cross training where lateral movements or jumping is involved. This may be due to my narrow feet, but because of the mesh material on top, there is not the support I was looking for when doing exercises such as skier jumps, lateral lunges or lateral hips. I will try getting the classic levitate for next time to see if these shoes are better for those movements because I love these shoes for running on treadmill.

I've worn Brooks for years. They are my Go-To shoe for a great run!
These are my third Levitate model but first of the stealth fit.
It's a nice tight squeeze on the foot. I'm not sold on the material and the compression it gives on my foot when I run. They also seem to slide up and down so may give a blister on longer run. I have only worn them for my shorter (3-4m) runs.

Brooks fit my foot very well--I have narrow feet and most M width shoes don't work for me but these do.
I do wear orthotics as well and I feel very good wearing these...very bouncy and light.

My most uncomfortable pair of Brooks. Felt like arch super and cushioning were lacking. Feet hurt within 2 hrs of wearing

These just didn't do it for me - the slip on style and the excessively large tag on the back were uncomfortable . As someone who needs some adjustability in the toe box area , this just didn't give me that freedom .

Tried these to see how they compared to the glycerin 21s. I am a long distance runner. The fit of these shoes were great for my size. My toes had plenty of room and fit comfortably around my heels. I had to return them though due to performance while running. They provided adequate comfort and support when walking, but as I got into mile 1 of a 6 mile run, my toes began to hurt on impact. They don't seem to provide enough shock absorption at least for my toes on concussion. Reviews for other runners sounded great but it didn't turn out so well for me.

It's OK. Just didn't WOW me like the previous 5 pairs (various styles). I will probably start researching other brands. Especially do not like the new lacing system.

Too tight in the toe box. Great looking shoe and love the feel of the responsiveness, but it's impossible to workout with these and not feel incredible pain in my forefoot. Usually love brooks, very disappointing

They're so cute and the soles are actually a lot more comfy than my previous levitates. The ankle space is just so tight though. I want to love them but I feel like my ankle are suffocating and end up with ankle muffin tops. I wish they were adjustable.

The "6" has a larger "bump-out" above the heel and an additional "eyelet" for the laces. The laces now tie closer to the ankle. I think these changes make for a less comfortable show.

I purchased a pair of Levitate Stealthfit 5s from an authorized retailer, and while initially a good shoe, only 3 months later, the inside seam underneath the loop on the heel already tore apart and causes significant blisters on my heel.

I wanted desperately to love these. I used a gift card to purchase them. After a few weeks, my heel started to ache, ALOT. seems these caused plantar fasciitis pain. Once I stopped wearing them, the pain went completely away. I love Brooks and am pretty loyal to them, but for as much as I wanted to love these, I just cannot. I am a fitness instructor, so when i put on a pair, I have them on for long periods of time. These are good for once in awhile, but not for everyday.

I purchased these shoes and I have an issue with the padding behind the heel. I have changed socks and done thicker socks but I continue to get blisters when I wear them. I walked 1 mile today and still blisters. Not my favorite style of brooks. I like the elastic around the ankles for fit but the extra padding causes it to rub and give blisters.

I give them a 2 because they're cute. I've been running in them for over a month. They have 85 plus miles on them. Worn them to work a few times to wear them in. They hurt my feet. I don't like the fabric that keeps the soles pressed up against my feet. I just want a shoe I need to tie on. Not slip on.

I am a huge fan of the levitate! I wear an AFO for drop foot and have always used a levitate shoe since I began wearing it. It was recommended by my brace provider. Unfortunately, the stealth fit does not accommodate my brace like the regular levitate. It hurts. My foot, has caused blisters and does not support like the regular levitate. I am very disappointed with the support provided by the shoe, however, I do like the thin dry feeling of the material.
