Question 1

I need slipons, do u carry them?

Accepted Answer

Hi Karla! All of our shoes feature laces with the exception of the Addiction Walker V-Strap 2, which features a velcro closure. Our StealthFit options will be more of a slip-on style, however, they still feature laces that will need to be tied.

Question 2

Does this shoe was lace up shoelaces?

Accepted Answer

Hi Grace! The Levitate StealthFit GTS 5 comes with traditional laces that tie. The overall fit is socklike, so the tongue of the shoe is completely integrated, which gives the appearance of a slip-on shoe.

Question 3

Have you ever considered making an anti-sole?? Big demand at my job.

Accepted Answer

Hi Arlene! We currently have one option that features a slip-resistant sole, the Addiction Walker 2 (although it does not meet OSHA requirements). Our gear is designed with the run in mind, but we appreciate your feedback and are always happy to take suggestions!

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Hi Lisa! The Levitate StealthFit GTS 5 is considered a Support model, but not a Max Support model.

Question 8

Hi . Would I have to size up ? I wear orthotics. I wear an 8 1/2 in the Dayad. Is this a similar fit ?

Accepted Answer

Hi Stephanie! You will always want approx. 1/2 in. of space (a thumbs width) between the end of your big toe and the end of the shoe. This often means sizing up your running shoes 1/2 of a size from what your normal size. Orthotics can take up additional space within the shoe depending on what it is designed for.

Hello! I was a huge fan of Levitates since the first rendition. The Levitates 1,2 and 3 were all similar in shape/fit but then the 4th version came out and hated it.

Hi Aubrey! If enjoyed the fit of the Levitate 1, we recommend the Levitate 5. If you're looking for a more sock-like fit, we recommend the Levitate StealthFit 5. The Levitate 5 and the Levitate StealthFit 5 are Neutral styles like the previous Levitate iterations, while the Levitate GTS 5 and the Levitate StealthFit GTS 5 are Support styles. "GTS" refers to "Go To Support" as a callout for being a Support style.
