Description of Brooks Levitate White Black 10 5 Men's Shoes

Imported. Rubber sole. THIS MEN'S SHOE IS FOR: The Levitate 4 is perfect for runners who want a shoe that helps them by giving energy back with each step, the Levitate 4's DNA AMP is now 20% lighter so our highest energy return foam is better than ever. ENERGIZED CUSHIONING: Now 20% lighter, our DNA AMP midsole technology lets your foot spring off the ground with each step for speedy, efficient energy return. SECURE, SOCK-LIFE FIT: We updated the Fit Knit Upper to provide a close-to-foot fit that’s lighter, softer, and more breathable than before. The Levitate 4 runs more shallow and provides a slightly more snug fit. If looking for a more roomy fit, Brooks recommends sizing up by 1/2 a size. QUICK TRANSITIONS: An updated arrow-point pattern on the outsole lets your foot move from heel to toe quickly, enhancing the shoe’s springy feel. WEAR TESTERS SAY: “ I loved the energy I felt when running in these. Great cushion and ride.”.

I think they changed the sole. Now hard as a rock!

Most uncomfortable Brooks levitation ever! I have worn all previous models but these are like concrete. They've clearly changed the soles and they're terrible. Just to make sure I bought another pair and they were the same. Time to look for another brand.

Pros
  • Bought this for my husband who works in retail! Great for back pain from walking on concrete all day!
Cons
  • They are probably fine for running, but for my taste these shoes are too springy for walking or working.

work a little tight. huge tongue

I had to send them back. they looked cool. They were high quality / didn't feel cheap. However, they didn't fit my feet very well. I have average legs - not super slim, but not thick and wide either. I'm 6ft 3,230lbs and wear a 12.5. They just felt like my sole was a few millimeters wider than the insole of this shoe, causing pressure on the side of my left foot. they looked good. the language was also strange. They were huge and flexible, like soccer shoes if you've ever worn boots. These…

Pros
  • You look good. Comfortable heel. Socks narrower than Levate 3 or 5
Cons
  • I'm actually a size 8 and these shoes are too tight for me.

They must be Nikes - very narrow.

I've been running at Brooks Ravenna for 6 years now and they no longer make them. Brooks Web Installer recommended Levitates to me. I ordered the same size I always wear (10.5, width D) and couldn't fit in the shoes. If you look at this and compare it to my current Ravenna 11, they are noticeably narrower. Can't comment anymore as it was "not the beginning". We send them back and go to the local shoe store. It's a shame, they looked really cool.

Pros
  • The pillow is great.
Cons
  • No heel pad, causes blisters

These are for more convenience.

6 pairs of Levites. These 4 are toe narrower than previous versions of the shoe. Maybe I should have gone up a half size to accommodate the change. I prefer the previous fit.

Pros
  • It was a gift. Nice looking shoe and great fit. Very convenient.
Cons
  • Shoes may lack flexibility

Excellent but small in my rating

They are so comfortable but run half a size smaller. I wear women's size 11 and often men's tennis shoes as they are easier to find. I have normal feet and they were about half a size too small for me. If you have a wide foot I would recommend going up a size as my foot is narrow and there isn't much room on the sides. They are very comfortable and I get my normal size after returning the smaller pair.

Pros
  • This shoe is probably for the serious runner. Be careless, I couldn't help but control my pace.
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for all types of terrain.

Good price, terrible fit!

I couldn't even put my shoes on! I've always worn the eight in Brooks, Saucony and other sneakers. I returned them the day they arrived. Should be zero stars but that's not an option.

Pros
  • A brand that athletes and runners alike trust
Cons
  • Shoes may not be suitable for people with high arches.

MY FAVORITE SHOES! the best in my rating

Probably the best running/light trail shoe I've bought! Lightweight, stylish, perfect fit, love that they fit the upper like a glove, don't get lost like other shoes, and I'm comfortable even with bursitis issues on both feet! I can buy a second one so I have a clean pair and a dirty pair!

Pros
  • A fantastic treadmill for those looking for structure, stability and comfort.
Cons
  • He likes her!

They are definitely not running shoes.

It took almost a month from ordering to receiving. I'm not an ultra runner (6 miles a week max) and that's terrible. Heavy, hard, pinching toes, not to mention ugly. I thought they were going to break in, but they didn't. It took a long time to figure this out, so now they're donating rather than giving back... Live and Learn (then buy New Balance)

Pros
  • The perfect pair of shoes. Great price, great delivery, great service. Highly recommended!
Cons
  • Shoes may not be breathable

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Too tight! good for me

They are too tight, won't unbuckle and the insoles feel like walking/walking on hard plastic or hard rubber. It's terrible!

Pros
  • They arrived on time, the price was reasonable and they fit well.
Cons
  • Shoes can squeak

The tongue on the boot is the biggest I've ever seen in my life.

The tongue on the shoe is the biggest I've ever seen in my life! The shoes fit great but the tongue goes up so far I can almost feel the shell deform. I've never had the tongue of the shoes go that high to the ankle, I'm trying to get used to it because I don't want to waste time sending them back, but it's just not right, there's something wrong with these shoes, me hope this is such a series of shoes, but I really don't know, except I can tell you that it is ruined... The price of the shoes…

Pros
  • Constructed from high quality materials for strength and durability
Cons
  • Shoes can cause heel blisters

Very comfortable, the knitted material breathes and feels like a sock, has a snug fit and looks great at the gym or at lunch. Very supportive and durable base with good grip.

Pros
  • This is the third pair of these shoes for my son. He runs cross country and just loves her.
Cons
  • Shoes can feel too heavy

My rating fell apart

These shoes are falling apart, we tried to contact the company with no response. We've owned several pairs of Brooks shoes and have never had a problem. He doesn't even hit her and they fall apart.

Pros
  • Available in multiple sizes to accommodate different foot sizes and shapes.
Cons
  • Shoes can cause back pain

The size bought in the store did not fit.

Used for work, bought for comfort for years. Bought the same size. This is not the size stated in the tags. Shoes fit wonderfully! I use them for work and home.!

Pros
  • Shoes fit great! I use them for work and at home.
Cons
  • Shoes can be too tight in the heel area.

Great shoe but runs small.

These are very comfortable and well built shoes. I bought these for my husband because he loves Brooks Levitation. They are about 1/2 size smaller.

Pros
  • Comes with a breathable mesh upper for enhanced airflow and comfort
Cons
  • Shoes can run small

No no for me the best in my rating

Don't buy this shoe if you don't want to be uncomfortable and at the same time can't breathe. Not worth your money at all. Sadly surprised when I was encouraged to buy by her friends. I'm glad I was able to return them on time.

Pros
  • Super comfortable.
Cons
  • These shoes can cause blisters

Feel ripped off for my opinion

Really disappointed in $130 shoes. The other shoe is worse than the one in the photo. I'm trying to use shoe glue but it shouldn't happen 2 months after ownership.

Pros
  • I really like her
Cons
  • Shoelaces must not be left tied.

Outsole wear in less than 3 months.

Worn out in less than 3 months from first wear. They must last 6 months. manufacturer error? Sorry, returns are only valid for 30 days.

Pros
  • Offers a snug and secure fit that is supportive and comfortable
Cons
  • Shoes can cause toe numbness

I think it wears like iron

Durable, comfortable running shoes that wear like irons and are great value! I feel a bit tight in the forefoot but I stretched them a bit with shoe lasts.

Pros
  • I am 8 feet wide. Bought a size up (9) and still felt tight. Great looking shoes. It just doesn't fit my foot.
Cons
  • Unfortunately too narrow.

OH! last rating: my rating

I've worn Brooks for years with no problems. But they were very uncomfortable and resulted in blisters and tendinitis on the backs of my feet. I highly recommend trying them on in store before buying!

Pros
  • Features a responsive midsole that offers excellent energy return and cushioning.
Cons
  • Shoes can feel rough on the inside

Close, but no better than Brooks

To each their own, but I will do nothing but reveal. The way these ligaments hurt the top of my foot and walking in them hurt the arch area. But my leg is not like yours.

Pros
  • It features a sleek and stylish bright red design.
Cons
  • Shoes can lead to a cleft shin
