Customer Reviews Brooks Revel 3 Running Shoe

Love the revel sneakers however laces seem to be inferior to the original revel.

Tad soft for my liking, I wanted to branch out from Adrenaline gts as I've cut my miles, but will be going back. Although the spongy sole let's you feel everything, I'm a heel to toe striker, and dont have the feel I enjoy.

There are not as good as Ghost 11 I had but they have good cushions. I feel like I don't have as much support as my previous pair.

Bought this shoe for its high arch & use it primarily for walking rather than running; it provides more cushion than the pureflow7 which has been better for long walks.

This shoe is a great attention-getter! I have enjoyed using them in the short-term and will continue to wear them around the holidays.

Over all great feel, light weight but they didn't hold up well at all. I walk about 4 miles a day and bought these shoes not long ago. Not over 350 miles on them and they are falling apart.

I walk 10-15k steps in my Revels at work and over a year they are starting to fall apart. Was hoping I would get a bit more life out of them however they still provide the same comfort and have never experienced any kinds of foot/ankle/knee pain with them.

Love Brooks and was trying to find a general purpose trainer in the 8-10mm drop range that would provide good level of ground feel for runs of 7-20 miles. Be careful what you wish for the ground feel was a bit too much for me and I started developing pain in the bottom of my foot on longer runs. They are on their way back to Brooks and I am thinking about moving to Glycerine and giving up the lower cushion expectations. The Revel 3 look good and are as advertised, but I wouldn't recommend them for long runs.

I love Brooks shoes and I love the Revel models of the past. This is my third pair of Revels (I had the original, and the Revel 2 previously). I have LOVED all of them. I ordered these expecting them to be equal in all aspects except maybe better performing or something. However, I was unhappy with this new model. They fit much tighter (I ordered a 10.5 just like my last two pairs, which still fit me) and are also less cushioned and feel less athletic in general. The toe is much wider, making them look more like casual/lifestyle sneakers than running shoes. I just wish I could still buy the Revel 2s.

Nice cushioning and narrow but very little support for overpronation

Overall a great show. Very light and give good support. My only complaint is the finishing touches. The laces feel very cheap and there were some minor coloring issues on the tongue of one shoe very minor but a little disappointing since Brookes has always had such good quality with the rest of the things I purchased.

Really liked the look of this shoe, but left toes were sore for several days. Ghost, Richoet, and Glicerin seem to work best for me.

Good looking shoe, but much too tight around toes. Bought two pair and unfortunately need to return for something else. Only second return after many Brooks purchases.

Size 14 is great for me but I need wider width like I remember getting. The length I had before looked and felt good but I always wore a hole in the toes. I went up in size and problems went away. thanks. I recall getting a wider width before but only standard was offered. I need wider.

Narrow. Lack stability. Flimsy upper. Look great. Good cushion. Breathe well. The Revel 3 is a casual shoe, not suitable for anything athletic. I gave these a shot after several pairs of Ghosts and Pure Cadence/Flow shoes which were fantastic. I don't wear wide shoes and my forefoot hangs over the outside edge of the footbed. The knit upper is nicely vented and looks great, but is flimsy and doesn't contain the foot during fore/aft/lateral movement, threatening ankle rolls. The foot can actually slide laterally inside the shoe. For these reasons I wouldn't recommend the Revel 3 for cross training, sprinting, or running off pavement. I gave it two stars because they're pretty comfortable and look very nice, but they will not be used for any kind of training.

The shoe was ok. But the material on the insides of the shoe was loose and sagging. Sent back because it would only get worse. Decided on a different model.
