The Cushion

Along with the DNA AMP technology, these shoes have a lot more sole than I'm used to. More sole has meant more cushion and a softer landing. This is probably the greatest benefit I've noticed, especially while my legs continue to recover from my marathon. It's been tough that recovery is taking this long but the Brook Levitates have made the journey a lot easier and quicker. These are likely to become my primary training shoes heading into the fall race season.

The Fit

The Brooks Levitate shoes fit like a glove in the best way. Lacing them up, it's almost as if they mold to your feet without feeling constricting at all. The knit uppers form to the contours of your feet but have enough flex to move with you as you run. The heel collar of the shoe is also noticeably thicker than shoes I'm used to but that adds to the cushioned feel for your feet.
