Boring shoe. One of the RTR reviewers said the sole was slappish. It's a flat sole. No modern rocker geometry. The heel drop is also high at 8mm. Not sure who they're marketing this shoe towards.

There's better options for that. Standing for long hours calls for a max cushion shoe.

That's weird. Could be because it's generally less expensive than more cushioned shoes. Although, Brooks shoes do have very durable outsoles. Maybe that'.factors into the workplace suitability equation. Probably the best of any brand. But for comfort there's deals out there right now on far better shoes. This past month I got a Triumph 19 for $60. A 1080v12 for $66. A Freedom 4 with it's Pebax based super foam midsole for $44. A Glideride 2 for $52. All of these shoes have MSRPs of $150-165. Do the math. They're all better than a Levitate.

It was at Dicks. They had the Blue colorway in my size on sale. The prices have since moved back up.

Outsole looks like way too much rubber as well. That said 8mm drop isn't a negative. Too many are jumping on the low or zero drop bandwagon fad right now.

Depends. The geometry is more important than the heel drop. With the Levitate you have a high drop with a flat sole which is a rather traditional and outdated design.

I watched a video from a running gear expo where a Brooks representative showed off the new Levitate 6. He made a point to mention that the shoe is aimed at gym users and cross fitters. So it's not even a true running shoe. The Levitate series is more of multi-purpose option much like the Saucony Freedom. I would buy the Freedom over this any day. I have a pair of Freedom 4s. Super comfortable footbed and upper and they have a Pebax midsole. By comparison, the Levitate uses unremarkable EVA.
