About the shoe
The Brooks Levitate StealthFit 6 stands out as a versatile daily trainer with a springy, energetic ride and a secure, adaptive upper. While its breathability is limited, making it better for cooler runs, the shoe excels in comfort, stability, and all-around performance for runners seeking a reliable, do-it-all option.
Reports from lab tests and user feedback indicate strong build quality, with the foam maintaining structure and the outsole showing good wear resistance. The shoe performs well in torsional rigidity and heel counter stiffness tests, suggesting it will last through typical training cycles.

The Brooks Levitate Stealthfit 6 is widely regarded as a versatile, neutral daily trainer with a balanced level of cushioning and moderate responsiveness. Experts and users agree it performs well for everyday runs, base building, and general training due to its comfortable fit, durable outsole, and springy ride. It is suitable for long runs up to marathon training distances, though some runners may prefer more cushioning for very high mileage or extended efforts. For tempo runs, the shoe's responsiveness and lighter weight make it adequate, but it lacks the snappy, propulsive feel of dedicated tempo or race shoes. Racing suitability is limited; while it can handle casual races, it is not competitive with modern super shoes for 5K to marathon events. The shoe is not designed for trail running, offering minimal traction and protection for off-road or technical terrain. For recovery runs, its comfort and moderate cushioning make it a good option, though some may prefer a softer, more plush shoe for maximum recovery.
- Versatile performance makes it suitable for a wide range of runs, from easy miles to tempo sessions
- Springy DNA Amp v2 midsole delivers a lively, responsive ride that helps maintain pace and energy return
- StealthFit knit upper provides a secure, sock-like fit that adapts to different foot shapes and offers good lockdown
- Stable platform and solid outsole grip enhance confidence on varied surfaces
- Breathability is limited, making the shoe less comfortable in hot weather but better suited for cooler conditions
- Slightly heavier than some competitors in the daily trainer category, which may be noticeable on longer or faster runs
