If you like squeaky shoes these are the ones for you, when you walk they just go making a squeaking noise. Don't plan on sneaking up on anybody

Pretty much only wear Brooks for running, and though I hadn't owned Bedlam before, I like the style and gave them a try. Bad decision. Immediately felt uncomfortable on my feet, and less than three miles into first run I had to stop. The heel/achilles area was simply unacceptable. Reminder to stick with what I know!

Let me preface this with, my last three pairs of Brooks shoes have been Adrenaline GTS and I love the comfort and support provided by that shoe. I thought I might branch in style by going with the Bedlam. However it was so narrow that they were painful for me to wear. I gave them three days at work and couldn't bear the pain anymore I went back to my worn out GTS which still need replacing and they felt incredible compared to my new Bedlam's.

I own the first Bedlams and the fit feels great. The Bedlam 2 runs tight at mid foot area and has a smaller toe box. The shoe felt very tight around my instep. The back of the shoe comes close to the heel and material is not as soft compared to the first Bedlams that walking can cause a blister. I returned the shoe and was such a disappointment because it’s a good looking shoe.

Did not run in them due to rear cuff eating into back of ankle. Looks good. Everything else felt good. Hope the issue gets fixed.

Back heel cup is too high and digs into the top of Achilles.

It turns out they were not great for how I run. Too heavy feeling and heel was too low.

If switching from the bedlam to bedlam 2s you'll notice the shoes are heavier and feel quite a bit more bulky. For them being the same size as my bedlam's I'm disappointed in how they feel and how much more they weigh.

I expected the shoes to have a springy, propelling feeling but instead, they felt as though I was running on a slab of hard rubber. After a mile, had to stop running as my knees where taking a pounding. Maybe a lighter person would have a different experience but I can't imagine it would be much better.

Poor design leads to constant rubbing on the back of my ankle, I am unable to wear these unfortunately

Overall, this is a good looking shoe but does not function well for me at all. Having had several pairs of brooks in the past I was really looking forward to these but was ultimately let down. After running in them for a week I have yet to be able to eliminate heel slip and have developed several blisters as well as medial ankle pain from the lack of motion control and poor heel control. I will be going back to the adrenaline in the future.

They made my feet hurt very badly. I sent them back. Once refunded, I'll try another pair but wider

The back heel portion curves into your Achilles. As you run, the shoe rubs and rubs causing blisters. Not great.

Without the rear ankle padding this shoe left me with a bruise. I have processed a return of this product. Great look, bad design.
