Customer Reviews Brooks Levitate Stealthfit 5

I love all of the Levitate series unfortunately I felt the Size 7 Women ran just a little big this time! I have the 7?s in Levitate 4, which fit perfectly, unfortunately the Levitate 5 was 1/2? longer. Enough so that I kept tripping at my job in the hospital. I wonder if it just has to do with the Stealthfit style. I recommend looking at the size guidelines closely or trying them on in person. Love the rainbow:)

Not a fair rating as I sent the item back. Did not know it was a sock fit shoe and was unable to fit my bad ankle. Loved the color.

I'm not crazy about the new design, the extra cushion on the heel is causing a blister. I love the color.

The shoe looks very cute and fits appropriately, however, it rubs the back of my heel. I really wanted to love the sneakers as I am a huge advocate for Brooks and have been wearing the brand for > 5 years. I tried to "break them in" but still get a rubbing sensation and have to take the shoes off after wearing them for a few hours at work.

I loved to look of these but my outer toes started going numb about mile two. Not the right fit for my foot.

I loved the Levitate 4 and moved to 5 since I could not find the 4 in my size. This shoe does not feel as fitted, has thinner material in the toe and does not feel as stable as the 4. I love the stealth fit but not as in love with this pair as the first.

I was disappointed that the shoes felt like they were squeezing my feet. I loved the color and look of the shoes and have always been a fan of levitates. Didn?t realize the stealth fit would be so tight.

Since I purchased and am wearing them, the ball of my left foot is in pain. I have not yet been seen by a doctor to see what the problem is. But I did not have the pain prior to wearing my new shoes. I have sworn my Brooks for many years now and this is the first pair I have been disappointed in. Maybe is the inner sole was a bit more cushioned rather than the outer sole it would make more sense. I work at a job that I am walking on concrete floors all day long and this just has not been working well for me...

My foot is somewhat narrow and with the StealthFit I am not able to snug up the laces to get the shoe to fit around my foot. With the StealthFit when you pull the laces snug it makes ripples across the fabric on the upper which doesn't feel great during wear. So I am wearing them just barely tightened which causes my socks to get pulled off by the heel slip. These would be very cozy for a trip to the grocery store but don't work for a run at least not for the shape of my foot. I LOVE the color though and I get a ton of compliments/comments on them.

I feel like the arch on the right shoe is too far back. It is making my arch sore.

Nice presentation but not as comfortable as my other Brooks, I don't feel like I'm walking/running on clouds with this pair! Disappointed ??

It?s not that I didn?t like them. I had to return them. They were really tight across the top of my foot.

They look good, they?re very light, but not at all supportive. I would not recommend for anything beyond running/walking on flat trails/roads or a treadmill. The sidewalls of the shoes are so flexible that the smallest thing causes my foot to slip in the shoe and risk a rolled ankle. I?m not returning them, but I also wouldn?t purchase this style again.

I love the way these look. However, they are hard to get tight enough. Somehow the lacing doesn't impact the front of the shoe enough-even though I've got another pair of the Leviate stealth fit, this make doesn't tighten the same way. I still like them, but am not sure they wll be great past the 5-6 mile runs I am using them for now unless I sort out how to tighten them in a way that makes the front of the shoe a little more fitted

I can?t rate them for comfort because I sent them back- I found them too big. I have 5 pair of Brooks running shoes and a 7 has always fit perfectly, but these were too long in a 7. Super cute though!

I purchased the navy levitate 5 shoes to wear with my causal track suits. I like the color and the comfort. The material is so soft that the shoe looks out of shape when walking around. I usually buy 2 pair of each new shoe but I don?t think I?ll buy another 5 series because there?s no tongue. I don?t like how the shoe fit and how you have to pull it on! Please go back to the Levitate 3 style.
