Customer Reviews Brooks Bedlam 3

Overall an excellent shoe. Fit, once the shoe was on the foot, was fine. Either my foot has grown or these run a tad small for size. Normally I wear 10s, I mis-ordered 10.5, and they were comfortable. Fit fine, accommodated my orthotics. Styling was nice, especially the snugness around the ankle. The sole is obviously for road/track and probably would not work very well on muddy or slick surfaces. They only real negative was that the tongue is anchored to the rest of the shoe over the top of the foot. It is too narrow and makes putting the shoe on difficult. I like shoes that are light and feel like spikes and other racing shoes. These make me feel fast.

It's an amazing running shoe, my only gripe is the slightly narrow toe box. It's the first & only shoe I've ever been able to run on hard paved concrete surfaces multiple times a week without experiencing knee joint paint & also get that amazing energy return!

Best shoes I've ever had. Acsics Gel Kayano are good but these have great support and make for a great run

Neutral, firmness helps me be mindful of form, good fit. Seems to be helping with my pronation (Flat footed). No issues with the shoe sliding off my heel, which happens with many other brands. No issues with sizing, and no trouble getting in and out of the shoe as others have claimed. Only complaint is that the back of the shoes climb up past a lot of my running socks, so it's touching my skin directly.

Purchased these for my son. He is a 19 year old college student and a runner. I wanted him to have a pair of supportive yet cushioned sneakers. I bought a pair for myself fews months ago and loved its supportive properties!! they are truly one of the best running sneakers I have ever had and my experience made me go ahead and ordered its mens version for my son. He loves how well made they are and loves their simple style and color as well.

I like them . They have helped my knee .

These shoes are really comfortable and the support around the heel and arch area is amazing. I can wear them all day being active and be comfortable.

Ordered 5 pairs of brooks shoes and these beat all of them out. I had the ghost 12's and loved them, and these even beat the Ghost 13's that i ordered. I don't do much running, but i walked and stood most of the day in these and feet didn't hurt when I got home. The only thing bad about them is they are not as roomy as the Ghost's.

great shoe with extra support. Very light and comfortable

I bought these for my husband who has plantar fasciitis and he said they are the most comfortable pair of shoes of has owned to date. His feet aren't narrow but he said they are a perfect fit! True to size as well!

I've owned about 6 different variation of brooks, the bedlam 3 is the best one yet. Best support, most comfortable... I'm happy with my purchase.

Excellent shoe for everyday use!!

Very comfortable, and my knees feel so much better!

Love these shoes!!! They help align my ankles.

Love these shoes!!! They help align my ankles. ????

Great shoe to run in very comfortable

Great shoe, constructed better than most Brooks models and has a toe cap (which they seemed to have gotten rid of with the more well known models).

First time using a support shoe and the Bedlam 3 feels great! Very smooth transition from the midsole forward and it has great support back along the heel as well as sides.

Great breath ability, very responsive and supportive. Overall my favorite design Brooks has done, love the teal and white.

I have been a Beldam wearer for 3 yeras and it gives the perfect amount of support and boost I need to run faster.

Bedlam 3's are my go to shoe for everyday jogs averaging 7 miles. As a nurse I'm on my feet all day and as a person in active recovery I love to decompress with a jog on a daily basis. The energy return and support of Bedlam 3's enable me to work twelve hour shifts, jog everyday, while staying clean, sober and serene. At the same time my legs and joints have never felt better! My only wish is that they lasted longer. I run through a pair about every 30 days. I could go on to say more of how awesome these shoes are to run in, but I think a person needs to experience it themselves.

First, let me say that I have narrow feet and I need a stability shoe due to my knee allignment, and I wanted a shoe with more cushion than the Ravenna to give my feet a break when I wasn't doing speed work/ tempos. This shoe is perfect, as it has a snug fit, and has great cushioning with excellent responsiveness. I know not everyone likes their recovery shoe to have a bouncy feel, but I prefer a bounce to a purely plush feel, so this shoe is my new go to for recovery/ easy runs, as well as my long runs. I have put over 130 miles in these at the time of writing.

Very high quality. Helps with lower back pain

Love support of the heel. I have a mid-foot restriction which in turn doesn't allow my calcaneus to rotate on the talus. This shoe is perfect for supplementing my ability to run as I work on my mid-foot mobility. I would say it's perfect for anyone who has a mid-foot restriction and looking for a stability of the heel whilst feeling comfortable. I would love an option for a little less heel elevation but in the mean time it's a great shoe.

I love this shoe! I use it on the treadmill, TRX, and rebounder trampoline. I had no idea how much my feet would benefit from a support shoe. The stability really helps on the rebounder trampoline. The shoe looks great with its low profile. Just make sure you order a half up. I normally wear a 10.5, but need an 11 in Brooks shoes.
