Brooks Bedlam

Anonymous runner · Jan 23, 2020

4/5

Overall

Switched to the Bedlam from the adrenaline and I like the bedlam much more. 2 is very stretchy around the ankle and doesn’t run like the first one but can’t tighten the laces enough without the tongue rolling. Also this shoe is ugly and I wish Brooks would do some of their seasonal promotional patterns with this shoe.
