Brooks Men's Levitate 2

Comment

I love these shoes. I recently ran my first half marathon, training with the Ghost 10s. I liked them but had some knee pain when going longer distances. I recently bought these training for my second race and do around 20 miles a week. So far I’ve ran about 50 miles in these and they are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever run in. No pain at all. I tried NB and Asics and neither worked for me. I have a wide foot and the 2e is very comfortable.

I love these shoes. Fit perfect right out of the box. I was running Mizuno Wave Riders for the last 10 years and was starting to get heel and knee pain so I wanted a more cushioned shoe. Only used them for a couple runs so far, but they fit and feel prefect. Hopefully they last for a while but Brooks is a top brand so I have no worries

Im 6ft 235lbs heavy intermediate nuetral runner who has a hard time finding a shoe with enough cushion. The Under Armour Speedform series of shoes were the only runners that helped my plantar fasciitis issue. A motivational speaker by the name David Goggins mentioned how much he loved Brooks, so I gave this shoe a try. The Ghost 11 is UNBELIEVABLY comfortable and allows me to run for extended periods of time without the aches and pains Im used to dealing with on a daily basis. Brooks needs to thank David Goggins for suggesting their running shoes.

The 11 is still comfy, looks nice. But the overall exterior of the shoe, perhaps in the interest of Brooks trying to continually lighten shoes, is less sturdy than its predecessor. Same problem I had with the 10; the 9s had more heft to them. One might argue that you want the lightest possible running shoe all the time... except a) Im a guy who never runs, I just wear them all the time cause they fit my feet perfectly b) they allow for orthotics perfectly as well. So, while I get that Brooks makes all kinds of running shoes, I dont think they have to insist that every model is for running, or necessarily even for cross training. Im not sure Id say I want the Ghost to be walking shoe, since walking shoe designs tend to be a lot different, but I would definitely like the shoe construction to go back closer to the 9s & down.

Much more comfortable than ASICS Nimbus 18,19, or 20. I wore Asics Nimbus for most of the last 20 years. ASICS changed the design such that the Nimbus did not fit well and I had some foot and leg issues/ Brooks Ghost is easy on my feet and I am exercising a lot with no injuries thus far This is my 2nd purchase of the Ghost in 6 months, both pairs are consistent in fit and quality. I am heavy and in my 70s and no longer do distance running but still do intense walking 4-5 days a week.
