Review on Brooks Womens Levitate Running Shoe Sports & Fitness for Running by Will Anderson

I love the look of these shoes. I love her. But I was very disappointed when all the negative reviews I read turned out to be true. I thought I had no problem - I ordered a half size, I have slim symmetrical legs, I already had a few trickles. nope The shoes are very tight and you can only loosen the laces for the time being. There is NO place for earplugs for those who use them. They require more force to put on and the material around the ankle is rough and can cause blisters if care is not taken. in. I wore them on business, around the house, went for a walk to the nearest park. They felt good. Still snug around the arches, but not to the point where it's uncomfortable. I would order a full size up, half a size is not enough. Then my old shoes broke to the point that I had no choice but to wear them on long walks/jogs. I found that I could feel the guidance technology through the sole of the shoe. This put extra pressure on my two smallest toes. I felt a blister forming and when I was about a mile from home the blister burst and I could not walk without severe pain. I took off my shoe and couldn't believe how bad the blister I just got was. =( Luckily I remembered to pack some band-aids and ended up limping the rest of the way home. I still like the look of these shoes but right now they feel like they're putting too much pressure on me. I have a pair of Ghosts Bought just in case I'm unsure about returning them - I can use them for everyday use but I don't think I'll be using them on my runs.
