Customer Reviews Brooks Revel 5

Good fit Left shoe creates pain in the pad behind of my foot behind my toes! This pain starts after: standing, walking or running in less than 10 minutes!

This was my first time trying the Revel (longtime user of Ghost and Launch). The fit wasn't the same. It's all good though! Just will be a walking/casual shoe for me.

Feet hurt after running around on these. How long does it usually take to break them in?

This was my first pair of brooks shoes, and I am fairly dissapointed. I live in Bellingham Washington, so we have a store downtown and I decided when I needed to buy a new pair that I wanted to try a "local" brand. I knew many people who wore brooks, and they always loved them and recommended them to me, however I could never afford the cost until recently. Don't get me wrong, these shoes are comfortable and I feel like I walk fast in them, however there are a few drawbacks that keep me from recommending them to anyone else. The biggest issue for me is that in under 6 wears the knitted upper started to fray, and eventually created a hole at the toe in about 12. Keep in mind, these have a very large toe box, and my toes do not reach the front. This is entirely the materials fault, and poor construction. Every time I wear these shoes now I feel like they fall apart more and more, including the sole seperating, and I just cant in good conscience recommend them to anyone.

Not comfortable at all, will be returning

My very first Brooks was a Revel about 15 years ago. It served me well for long dog walks and around town use. The cushioning and support was great and sold me on the company. Since then I've used Ghosts with no issues until the Ghost 14 which had a different shock absorbing system and ended up being inferior to previous models. I decided to try the Revel again. This version is really a disappointment. The shock absorption is nowhere near that of my first Revel and the fit is less snug. I returned these and ordered the Ghost 15 which so far is more like the pre-14 models. I'll never understand why shoe companies can't just leave well enough alone when they have a good thing going. Marketing perhaps. At least Brooks has a very reasonable return policy.

Not impressed. Definitely not even close to the Ghost line

I walk 8-10 miles a day at work and when I get home my feet are killing me. I had to return them.

I use these on my daily walks but have decided to return them. After approximately 40-50 miles both my knees and ankles started to hurt. The more I wore this pair of shoes the more they hurt. Shoes seem to have lost all of its cushioning. Just not the right shoe for me.

I have bought these shoes for quite a many years. First time I've been disappointed. Soles, tread and heel drop are all not good. Will not buy another pair.

Poorly constructed. Not as good as previous pairs that I?ve purchased over the years. They were discounted and the reason is apparent. They look cheap.

I feel like there isn't much support on the inside/arch of the shoe, and the sole is already creasing. Definitely not the quality I have come to expect from Brooks.

The Revel fits differently than most of the other men's Brooks running shoes. The sole is the same length as other shoes, but somehow the inside of the shoe has more room. Also, the shoelaces on the Revel don't stay tied very well.

Shoes were not sized correctly. I wear a 14 and these shoes fit more like a 13. I have bought Brooks running shoes in past and these were not as comfortable.

Love the shoe, however the rubber on the bottom of the shoe is starting to peel. The feel is great, but the durability isn't quite there.

They feel cheap on my foot?.
