Narrow Fit

Amazing fit for someone with narrow feet. Very comfy.

Light And Snug

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Light and snug fit. Plenty of room in the toes. A little difficult to put on quickly if you need to do so (eg, triathlon transitions)

Great Shoe

Great shoe, comfortable, great price. No complaints

Amazing shoes. Great support without feeling heavy. Lasted me over 2 years with heavy usuage.

Comfortable lightweight shoes. I like them for gym use and running on sidewalks and trails. 3 stars only though for terrible durability. I bought two pair at the same time and neither one lasted very well. Before the rubber was worn, the foam sole cracked almost all the way through to the insole and almost all the way across the foot. This happened in both feet in both pairs, so it seems like a material quality issue, not just a one-off thing.

Levitate Stealthfit

Attractive shoe, feels as described like a sock, good for walking. For running, I found it a bit hard for me and lacked enough support to avoid injury over longer distances. Longer distances the glycerin model is more suitable to prevent worn out ligaments. Guiderails for me make a difference given unpredictability of ground off the footpath. Some will like the hardness for kickback as support tends to absorb energy.

Perfect For Every Occasion

Fits great, looks amazing, feels amazing, definitely a standout

Awesome

Bought these in January of 2023! I have absolutely loved them. They’re easy to get on and get off, and allow my feet plenty of flexibility and breathability! I had ONs before these and they had holes in the toes within 4 months(horrible quality if I must say so myself). These brooks have held up great! Just ordered my 2nd pair!

Loved The Look But Not For Those With Flat Feet

I do have to agree with most of the reviewer's here. I love the look of the shoe. I got the white version and I think it's the best looking shoe, especially the StealthFit. I wear both adrenaline GTS 23, and launch 10 GTS almost daily, and was planning to use my TreadLabs carbon fiber insoles with these Levitate 5 shoes for more support, and just based off how narrow these shoes are, it could not accommodate. My feet are also flat, so my inner arch was consistently getting rubbing and chaffing. I really wanted these to work since they look great but they my first pair of Brooks I had to send back.

Not Bad But Not Good

Love the look of the shoes, however after a few times of wearing them, my feet starting hurting really bad. Was a relief to take them off most times.

Stealthfit Runs More Narrow

I've run in the regular versions for years and decided to make the switch to the Stealthfit. It didn't go very well. They definitely run more narrow and rubbed spots on my toes, making them pretty uncomfortable. I'd stay with the regular version (which I switched back to) if you don't have fairly narrow feet. You could try sizing up, but when I did that I had too much material that wrinkled and folded over itself on the top of the shoe, under the laces.

Excellent fit. Spandex around upper and tongue allows for supreme fit. Shoe is a little difficult to put on, you need a shoe horn for sure. Toebox and length, exactly right

Was A Great Shoe, Now Not So Much

I've been wearing Brooks running shoes for over 30 years. I love the brand and fit of their shoes. However, this shoe is the least comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I'm not sure what the designers did to mess up such a great shoe but it was unwearable for me. The heal area is so over-pronounced that it rubbed my Achilles tendon area raw in just a short 1.5 mile walk. I returned them immediately. I won't be purchasing the Launch again unless the heal changes.
