Comfortable and cute!
I love these!! I work nights at a hospital and I cannot have shoes that hurt my feet or legs. I love these shoes so much. A big problem for me is arch support and stabilization. These shoes offer both. I work on a psych unit so sometimes we have to do physical holds on patients which require me to be on my feet and able to maintain balance. These shoes are perfect for me and I always get compliments for how cute they are. They do run a bit narrow so I had to go a size up. 8 to 8.5 but it fits really nice.

Tight fit but wonderful shoes
I agree with other reviews that this is a tighter fitting shoe. I ordered size 10 which is what I always wear and was going to size up to a 10.5 but the size 10 was $68 compared to $109 for the 10.5 so I stuck with size 10. I have a narrow foot so although the shoe is more snug than other Brooks it fit perfectly. I was worried I’d get blisters due to not having much extra room, but I’m happy to report no blisters even after a month of higher than normal mileage.I’m a mid foot striker with a neutral to slightly supinate landing position and this shoe is feels amazing on my runs. I haven’t tried all Brooks running shoes but currently this is my favorite!

LOVE it!
I was a bit skeptical about buying this because another reviewer said that it was tight across the top of the foot because the tongue is sewn into the shoe so it does not have any stretch at all. I wore it today and it is snug and was tight across the top of my foot, but after a 45-min HIIT workout, the shoe loosened up. It is a very comfortable shoe. It is lightweight which I really love. I would recommend this shoe. I bought a whole size up for better comfort.

Not perfect but overall a good shoe.
The shoe has good support and it is nice looking. It is narrow in the mid foot so if you have a wider foot it will probably be too tight. I find I need to wear a sock with this shoe because it rubs a little bit where my little toes are and the height of the back heel is almost a little tall for me. I think these issues may improve the longer I wear the shoes. Overall, I'm happy with this shoe.

Love these!!!!
I love my Levitate 4s!!!!! I work in the health care field so I am on my feet 10+ hours a day. These are very comfortable and form to the shape of your foot. These are a tighter fitting shoe. I went up a 1/2 size reading other reviews. I wear a 7.5 in all nike running shoes and ordered these in a size 8. They fit like a glove! I also read a lot of reviews saying they caused blisters on the heel due to the shape of the shoe but this did not happen to me. No rubbing at all with no show socks. Lastly, I really like how these feel. Almost like they Spring you forward while running or walking. I highly recommend these brooks!!!

Severe blisters- read reviews!
I love the look of these shoes. LOVE them. But I was extremely disappointed when all of the negative reviews I read were true. I thought I wouldn't have issues- I ordered up a half size, I have slender symmetrical feet, I've had a few pairs of brooks before. Nope. The shoes are very tight, and you can only loosen the laces so far. There is NO room for any inserts for those who use them. They do take more effort to get on your foot, and the material around the ankle is rough and is likely to create blisters if not careful.But, I thought maybe with a few wears the fabric would relax a bit and I could slowly break them in. I wore them out for errands, around the house, took a walk to a nearby park...they felt ok. Still snug around the arches, but not to the point of being uncomfortable. I would order a full size larger- half size is not enough. Then my old shoes broke to the point where I had no choice to wear them on my long walk/jogs. I discovered that I could feel the guide rail technology through the sole of the shoe. This created additional pressure against my two smallest toes. I felt a blister forming, and when I was about a mile from home, that blister popped and I was unable to walk without severe pain. I took my shoe off and couldn't believe the severity of the blister I had just given myself. =( Thankfully I thought to bring a couple band-aids and was able to limp the rest of the way home.I still love the look of these shoes, but at this point it seems the shoe is too narrow along the sides, putting too much pressure on the toes. I went ahead and bought a pair of Ghosts just in case.. I am not sure I will return these- I can use them for casual wear, but I don't think I'll be using them in my jogs/walks anymore.

Get a half size larger than normal
I will preface this by saying I am a massive fan of Brooks running shoes. Absolutely love these shoes. The Levitate are made better than the Adrenalines. The front has a stronger, reinforced area around the toes. ( A nice improvement over the Adrenalines). They're not cheap, but if you put serious miles on, your back will thank you. I originally ordered size 8, bc other models of Brooks have fit true to size, not these. Had to return them and exchange for a half size larger. Highly recommend these. Color is nice as well, don't have to worry about them looking dirty
