Pros

  • The one reviewer so far rates comfort, cushioning and durability 5 out of 5 and prefers it to the Adrenaline he switched from.

Cons

  • Appearance draws 2 out of 5 in the single review so far, and that reviewer wants better color options.
  • That reviewer says the tongue rolls when the laces are pulled tight, and the ankle collar is stretchier than on the first Bedlam.
  • At 11.6 oz in the men's build it is one of the heavier trainers we list.

Brooks Bedlam

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.
