The Brooks Bedlam hits all the marks for comfort and style. I have a FLAT foot, overpronate and my second toe is longer than the others. Add on a narrow hindfoot and you have a recipe for a difficult foot. The Brooks Bedlam fits all parts of my foot like a glove: the broad toe box and soft fabric provides plenty of room. The midfoot and narrow heel hold my foot in place. The shoes feel like slippers.
I am past my days of running so I cannot comment on their ability to cushion a run. However the shoes feel low profile and are terrific for everyday use.
Throw in a bit of style and you have a winner.

Bought because of price. Normally stick with NB993 or now NB940V4s. Wife has had good luck with Brooks Ghost 13s so I tried a pair of Brooks. I will stay with NB in the future.
I'd also recommend:
NB940

This has been my go to shoe all year. This is my 2nd pair. I am 67 years old, with osteoarthritis in my back and hips and replaced knees. I slip my orthotics into these shoes and I’m good to go all day!! I love these supportive shoes! Please don’t stop making them Brooks!

Really liking these so far. It’s nice to be able to find half sizes in the bigger size shoes. Very comfortable and they look good too.

I've been Brooks fan for years. I take a size 10 in flip flops, 11 in shoes and 12 in Brooks. Whatever their criteria for sizing is I have no idea. All I know is, Brooks are the best. These Bedlam are no exception. Although they are a bit heavier than other running shoes I've tried in Brooks, they are great gym shoes, they provide extra support and balance, and they lace up nice and snug. They are stylish, have decent arch support and provide comfort all day. Definitely worth a try. And with Zappos return policy, it's a no brainer.

Moderate arch support to be a stability shoe but is easily the most fashionable shoe Brooks currently makes.

I love this shoe! My knees feel better and I can walk/jog for miles with no hip pain either.

I have been wearing Brooks for 4 years now . Last shoe I had was GTS adrenaline 17 . I changed to bedlam 4 weeks ago and running has been amazing since than. I run 3 times a week between 7 to 10 miles on one day. Bedlam's guide rails provide much needed support and alignment. No pain in shins, calf's and knee . Great shoe !!!

This is my 3rd pair of these and am super happy with them. They work so well for my stride and style of running.

Absolutely one of the best pairs of brooks I've had. And I have had many. I enjoy all of your shoes, but the quality of the arch support for someone with little arch (basically none) has been impeccable. Please keep this model on and keep improving!

Very impressed with these, I come from an Adrenaline GTS world and was a little sceptic about this one when I saw the design, however after a month or so these seem to perform just right for me and the little less drop than the GTS which actually has works for me.
The only thing I'd like to see in these is more reflective features.

This shoe is a good replacement for people who love the ravenna line of shoes. My only complaint is the tongue is attached to the inner side of the shoe, but not a dealbreaker.

They're a nice balance to my other pair that has way more cushion. I can really feel the ground in these and are a bit more structured, so they seem a bit more supportive.

I have been using The GTS model for years and I found them very good. I recently purchased two pair of the Bedlam model and they are the best running shoes I have ever owned.

Incredible show for the money. I've put about 2 dozen miles on them so far and they are so good. Comfort, stability and they look great.

Broke my heel in the military and now that I am running again it helps correct my alignment. Never thought shoes would make this big of a difference.

I purchased this shoe because I felt that I needed more support. I am 6'2 230 lbs. I have worn alternating NB 880 and Brooks Ghost for last few years both were ok, but I felt like I should try something new. The Bedlam are fantastic. I must say I use for walking and infrequent running but the support and energy feel great. My feet do not feel fatigued after 3 to 4 miles. I am between D and EE, so these are snug but fabric is flexible and broke in nicely. Love these shoes.

It has decent arch and pronation support, but still light.

As someone who is just getting back into running, this shoe really helped me have some progress on pushing my run a little longer. This shoe is for sure comfortable and stable which I really appreciate as I am fighting to get back in shape! About two weeks in and I am grateful my girlfriend order these for me!

First pair of Brooks but not my last. My wife is a big Brooks fan, and convinced me to try, after my other go to brand let me down on a couple of occasions. By far the most supportive shoes i've owned. i don't even think about how my shoes feel when I run. I did have to add a different insert, as I have a very high arch. Now they are perfect. My next purchase will be the trail running shoe.

Just got my first pair of Bedlam's. First off, Brooks is not a normal shoe company. Normal companies don't give thousands of pairs of shoes away to healthcare workers for free. For the love shown to our field and the quality of materials, employees, and attitudes, you will never see any other brand on my family's feet! Thanks Brooks!

This is my second pair of Bedlam running shoes. I was fitted at my local Fleet Feet and these shoes were what was recommended. I ran my first half marathon with them. I didn't have any shin splints like i would normally get from my old shoes. I will continue to buy this shoe. Highly recommend!
