Detailed Review
When it comes to running shoes, comfort is key, and the Brooks Men's Running Shoes deliver just that. The lightweight synthetic outer ensures breathability while maintaining structural integrity. You’ll appreciate how these shoes hug your feet without feeling restrictive, thanks to the well-designed inner lining.
Another important factor for any runner is traction, and this model does not disappoint. The rubber sole provides fantastic grip, whether you're hitting the pavement or exploring nature trails. Runners report feeling secure and stable, even during quick turns or uneven ground conditions.
While the aesthetic appeal of the bright colors can be an attractive aspect, they also serve as functional. The bold design allows visibility in low-light conditions, making early morning or evening runs safer.
However, it's worth noting that some users have reported a slight break-in period during which the shoes may feel stiff. Therefore, it’s advisable to wear them short distances initially to ensure maximum comfort before longer runs. Additionally, size availability could be an issue, so checking the right fit is crucial.

Dealing with planters facilities for many years, shoes have become very important to me. So far this is the best shoe I have found to solve the need for proper arch support. Funny things is I had never herd of brooks until recently. I just happened to try some on in a store one day. If you have high arches you will want to take a look at brooks. I ended up buying the Ghosts and the Bedlams. Initially I thought that the Ghosts were more comfortable and would be better for an every day walker however after using both of these Brooks for the last month I have discovered that the Bedlambs are more suited for my feet. We walk at least 3 miles every day and these shoes have offered the perfect amount of support and comfort. The Ghost is a great shoe as well but I think it is lacking in the support that I needed. Maybe it is too soft.
These shoes are absolutely without question the most comfortable running shoes I have owned. I have been training for my first 5K and found these on recommendation from a colleague of mine. First I am an 11 1/2 men's and moist running shoes come in 11 and 12 so its size 12 I typically go with and its just not quite right. I didn't know that until I put these on as they have half sizes available and they fit just right. They run about the same price as the top competitor's novice running shoes but you will notice the difference right away. I am not a technical runner so i can't speak to that as I am just getting started running. I will say that when I use the other major brands after a few runs they don't quite feel the same however with these shoes they are very good after 6 months and more. great shoes
I love the price and the color. The shoes fit great. First pair I've owned of Brooks shoes. I am wearing them in to run in. Support is great.
I ordered the wide sizes because some standard size shoes are narrow for me. I wear between a 12 - 13 in athletic shoes. I chose a size 12.5 wide. The wide size is really room and a little wider than expected. However, it's ok for me because I used them for marathon training and my actual marathon. Also, after hours on my feet from running, my feet swell and it's better for me to have roomy shoes with wide toe box than narrow shoes. These shoes felt great for my marathon until after mile 23. Not sure if it's my fatigue starting to feel overwhelming after mile 23 or what...; but I'm sure most normal people who run 23 miles and more usually don't feel that great anyways.As for stability goes, the shoes are really stable. The guide rails really do help your feet stay in place. My feet pronate inwards and thus, the guide rails are good in stability. It feels like you're on firm springs. Guide rail padding is firm and may take several weeks to fully break them in. These shoes aren't going to be really cushy and soft. They won't feel soft like Skecher's cloud foam shoes or flexible like Nike Frees. It took me about a month to break in these shoes and for them to be comfortable. I used these for marathon training and my runs are 2 - 3 times a week of about 3miles - 8 miles per run. After a month, I felt comfortable to run over 10 mile trainings.After these shoes are broken in they are comfortable for those that stand and walk on their feet for long hours a day.Overall, these are good stability shoes. They look like they're built for long lasting. The cushioning underneath is really padded and good. Except they'll take awhile to break in. Unfortunately after 5 months of training; some parts of the bottom of the shoe started to peel off because I heel strike a lot. However, I mainly use them for walking and light running and they're still ok.
Took them out the package, slipped them on and was off and running in minutes! Super light and grips the ground perfectly. The elastic laces are a nice feature to ensure they don’t come loose during activities. An excellent running shoe that I’m considering buying a second pair just to have as back-up!
I feel that Brooks bedlams are the best walking/running shoes out there. Why brooks makes those other ones, I do not know. This is my 3rd pair of bedlams and I'm looking to buy yet another because of stock and upgrades to other model Brooks is making. Can't miss on this shoe, if they have your size.
Super comfortable. These shoes actually have helped relief my knee pain. Very happy with these shoes.
I like how the sneaker looked But did not like how it fit on my foot. My heel with slide out
