My legs still seem super sore after wearing these, which is usually how I tell if I need new shoes. I thought thi At is weird.

Love the looks. But don’t have the support I need. I typical buy addictions. I know why I need to now but they are not as cute as these. For someone with no foot issues I’m sure these are great.

I have owned a pair of Revel 5 shoes before. These are a little stiff and not quite as comfortable as my other pair

I like the style, however I'm not sure if I'm using the correct sneaker for my feet. Im using them for work. Some days I'm okay with them and other days my heel hurts, I notice some knee pain. I'm trying to get use to them but I think I might have to change to another style or brand. I've been told ghost might be more cushioned for my heels. I'm going to decide by Friday it would be 2wks of trying.

These shoes are really cute in black with the leopard print, but they didn't have enough support and after a short time caused foot pain. I'm a 10M and although they fit, they did feel a little sloppy, even when I put my Aetrex orthotics in. They irritated the plantar fasciitis that had been quiet for quite some time as well. These shoes might work for people with no foot issues, but not for me.

Bought this to replace a Revel 2. They are comfortable and stable as a neutral light weight shoe. The design and quality have diminished noticeably from previous. I kept old laces to give it any style at all

Size was fine but the cushion seemed to drop off at the end of the shoe. Don't care for the flat laces. Did not feel springy.

I am a nurse & I wear them for work, 12.5 hour shifts. Unfortunately, they are too narrow & put pressure on the top of my foot causing excruciating pain.

These were possibly the most comfortable Brooks I have owned (my third pair). I loved them However, after only a couple of months of wear, the tread on the bottom began to come off and although it wasn't horrible, I was scared to keep running in them because it posed a rick of me tripping and/or injuring myself. I couldn't exchange them because they no longer had the color that I liked in stock, but thankfully the customer support person was SO kind and helpful and gave me a refund (it was within the 90-day window from when I purchased them). I don't know if it was just a bad pair that maybe wasn't made properly, or if it is a flaw in this particular style.

Comfortable, but not as comfortable as Revel 2. Don't seem as supportive, and feel slightly wider than Revel 2 although medium width.

Overall the Revel 5 is okay. They are not as comfortable as the Revel 2. I wish you would bring back the comfort level of the Revel 2.

I’ve had these for four months for walks and light jobs and they don’t have enough support and my hip hurts after wearing them. Need to get more support.

I don't find them too springy. I'm thinking I should have chosen cushion. I don't hate them.

I've always been a Brooks Ghost person, but thought I'd try something else. Wore them one day walking and they are not the shoe for me. I added my Super Feet insert but still, a no go. I'm going back to the Ghost.

These are very cute and mostly comfortable. However, the pair I got rubbed my right ankle, just like the pair I had already returned, so I think I wound up with the same defective pair again. I ordered from another store and they feel great.

Good support. I have four pair and in three of those pair the insoles have come apart. I paid good money for these shoes and am disappointed that I have to buy new insoles

I typically wear Ghost running shoes (I LOVE the 13's and have several pairs) but every now and again I like to switch it up with a different model. A couple of years back I bought a pair of Revel 3's and I loved how light and comfortable they were. Since they were getting old, I transitioned them to yard/cleaning shoes. I loved the black & purple color of the new Revel 5's and figured now would be a good time to get a new pair. I'm so disappointed because as beautiful as they are, they are so uncomfortable. The toe box is great but the bottom feels oddly shaped and uncomfortable. I thought it would get better after a few wears but it hasn't. As soon as I started jogging, I felt a pain in the bottom of my left foot and a sharp pain shoot up my Achilles on my right foot. I started walking and it eventually got better. Unfortunately, I don't want to wear them anymore but also can't return them since I've worn them. It's just so disappointing but I don't want to chance an injury. I wish I stayed with the Ghost's (13's) instead.
