Haven’t seen them on any of the usual discount website recently so in the past year or so, I have bought them directly from the Brooks website. £90 per pair.
Sigh Sep 2020 6:42am, 19 Sep 2020 7,308 posts	Quote Pin Sigh I've been through 2 pairs of Levitate 2, switched to a pair of Ricochet, and I'm now breaking in my third pair of Levitate 2. Overall I think they're a good shoe. I was recommended the Levitate at a (very good) gait analysis last summer, since the switch from 'stability' to 'neutral/cushioned' trainers and keeping with ones with an 8mm heel drop (rather than 10mm or 12mm) I've had no ankle or knee niggles at all. However - because I've always been a bit of a heel striker, I found that with both pairs of Levitate I've worn out this year, the sole was worn through on the heel after only 300 miles: By contrast, the Brooks Ricochet (in which I've done just over 200 so far) are showing no signs of wear at all yet. The Ricochet have a bit less cushioning than the Levitate, but I don't really notice it unless I'm on long runs (10+ miles). On the basis that I now don't expect to get more than 300 miles out of the Levitate's then I'm happy to buy them at a reduced price from an online retailer but I wouldn't pay full price for them. This is of course because of my heel striking, so that's a personal thing. Hope this helps!
