Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate 5

So far seems very good? little more time with them needed ?

A comfortable shoe that promotes a quicker cadence. Lightweight and easy to break in.

The heel of this shoe does not fit my foot correctly, it's a little unstable. I normally buy the Ghost line but wanted to try these out. They are ok for a light workout but I would not take them on a run. Still a great shoe, just not as good as the Ghost line IMO

So far so good ! Nice light weight Wasn't impressed with the color though. Looked like a teal blue but outside was more of a primary blue. I'm more blue green / yellow green $ more of a designer price. Could come down some on the next pair as I may hunt for quality at a lower price. I do see a discount but no color style that I'd choose. Thanx

The new shoe is comfortable, but I don?t appreciate the total redesign. I don?t like the thick ankle padding versus the nice thin minimalist ankle area of the Levitate 4. Had I noticed it had changed this much I?d have shopped for something else. I will likely wear out a few pairs of these, as I am a Brooks fan for past 10+ years, but please don?t make such huge changes year to year. This shoe is no longer special. It?s like all the others. Levitate 4 was special.

This is my second pair of Levitate and outside if color / incremental changes to the shoe, there isn't much difference between this version and the previous. My rotation consists of the auroras, ghost and levitate and to be brutally honest I have not been overly impressed with any of the offerings from Brooks the past couple of years. I honestly think they should spend less money on celebrity marketing (which a vast majority of the market does not care which celebrity wears the shoe) and more money/ resources into quality /design.

The shoes are tight on my feet. I have always worn a size 8 medium but these shoes feel small. I subsequently purchased a Brooks Adrenalin 22 size 8 medium which size had previously worn and they are perfect. I walk quite a bit weekly and I don't believe I can walk as many miles in my Levitate as in my Adrenalin. I guess the saying "you get what you pay for" is sometimes accurate.

Shoes aren?t near as comfortable as the levitate 4s.

Not at comfortable as the adrenaline shoe . Only buy adrenaline in the future

Les hace falta ser mas transpirables, son muy calientes.

Definitely not springy as advertised. Feels quite stiff. Pricey for a shoe that feels more like a base level Asics shoe than what I'd expect from Brooks. Good for walks and daily tasks, not so great for runs. Leaves your feet hurting after a few miles.

Not a good shoe. Bad cushion. Non spring. Very narrow.

I've done three 5 mile runs in them and I'm not sure yet. The first run the ground was damp and they seemed to slip. The last run they seemed a little soft. I wore New Balance for 30 years, and the feel is definitely different. I hope I get used to them.

Overall very comfortable but the bottom shoe insert keeps moving back does not stay in place.

Too narrow for me but nice fast shoe.

Love the Run Merry design, but the shoes themselves are a very tight fit. They have loosened a little though wearing them, but they are still tight

Fits tighter than Ghost. Doesn?t seem to breathe as well either.

not very comfortable. leaves my feet and calves of my legs sore.

The pair I bought before this one had more cushion.
