Customer Reviews Brooks Revel 4

Nice shoe. Ordered because I?ve bought 3 different colors of Revel 3; which look & feel & fit great. Bought the Revel 4 and everything is fine except the shoes are slightly narrower. I?ve widened the laces but the fit is not the same as the Revel 3.

The shoe runs a bit small, but I had never tried Brooks before and didn't know that. Shoes buying in the pandemic is no fun but I appreciate the quick delivery and processing of my return.

If you pronate, not a good shoe. Feels like my heel is sliding medial off the back of the shoe.

I have the Revel 3s and 4s. Obviously just my opinion, but the 3s are the better shoe, hands down. Softer, higher quality, more form fitting upper; better cushioning; collar is quite a bit more plush; even the shoestrings are thicker/more padded and lock the shoe down better. IMO the only thing the 4s have over the 3s is the looks. And I don't know too many people that buy Brooks for their looks (sorry Brooks). I'm a big fan of your shoes (I own many pairs), and you make some great ones, but the 4 seems like a cheaper, stripped down version of the 3. The 3s are better, period.

The shoes are comfortable and they have a energized/springy feel. I was running in Ghost 12 before this pair. The Ghost is more cushioned than the Revel and naturally feels better. After running twice with the Revel, I decided to replace the insole inserts with a cushioned insert. That really improved the feel of the shoe and it still has an energized feel. I think I'll go back to the Ghost when it's time for the next pair.

I decided to try a new style of Brooks after I ran through 6 or 7 pairs of Ghost's. The inside of the left shoe separated from the sole on my Ghost 11's after about 250 miles, and up until then I hadn't had any issues with those Ghost's or any previous ones. I usually put 400-500 miles on a pair of sneakers before I retire them to yard work shoes and I'm about 75 miles in to the Revel 4's now. Maybe I just got used to the Ghost's but after 20 miles or so in the Revel 4's I don't feel like they're as supportive as they were on the first few runs. Again, it might just be that I'm used to a different style of Brooks but either way I'll keep putting miles on them until I can no longer tolerate it. The shoe is much lighter feeling than the Ghost's and looks great!!!

These are nothing like the other pairs of Brooks I have purchased in the past. They lack support, are flimsy, and seem to not have nearly as well as grip. I will most likely be looking for other pairs or a different brand in my next purchase.

As a HUGE fan of the Revel 3 I must say this latest model is quite the let down. I ordered the same size which was too big then a size done which seemed too tight. My heel never felt secured in either shoe without tightening the laces to the max. Every time I ran in either shoe I received knee and side ankle pain. I ended up buying another Revel 3 and no longer had any pain running. Don't recommend if you loved the Revel 3 but maybe it's just a me issue.

I wish I could like these shoes but they were shorter and felt tighter in the width as well around the toe box even after loosening the strings. I was glad to get them off my feet and return them. But if the size were normal i would love them.

I had some brooks revel 2's and they were absolutely my favorite shoes. Not just for running, but for daily wear. I was really excited when the 4's showed up, but they were kind of a disappointment. They feel like a completely different type of shoe and I don't really dig it. I am sure they are a fine shoe for others, but the major change really bummed me out.

I didn't much care for this shoe. There was some weird bunching of fabric in the forefoot area. Runs wide too.

I?ve been running in brooks for years and I have to say these are the most uncomfortable shoes I have event purchased. And they do not run true to size.

Revel was a good line of shoe, especially Revel 3. Revel 4 is a much lighter shoe and being lighter has consequences on a serious runner. If one runs more than 2-3 miles a day (100 a month average), look for a difference shoe, the support quick wears out. To be honest wore these on a long run after being a fan of Revel 3, and I was in serious pain for more than a month, as they lack support and protection in the arch due to being so light. I then searched the web frantically looking for any color version of Revel 3, a sturdier shoe that supports runners who put on miles.

My wife and I are big fans of the Revel 3 but the 4 is not a replacement. Different fit, different feel and not comfortable. Brooks customer service suggested we try the Trace and that was much closer. Also found the Transmit 3 at DSW to be a better alternative. Revel 4 is a pass.

Very uncomfortable wore them less than a week

Laces are ripped. No support .. crappiest brooks I have ever owned

Was very happy running in the revel 3 so naturally figured these would be better and I completely wrong not enough support very disappointed
