Customer Reviews Brooks Revel 7

Shoe was too small, my size 7 wasn’t available, really liked the oyster color, quality is good, returning shoe.

It was the right length (10,5). But my foot didnt feel secure like shoe might have been to wide, not a snug fit. The foot bed of shoe seemed narrow. I like shoe with less loft or cushioning more sole support at the same time.

My old pair is the Ghost. They were wonderful. They were like walking on pillows. This one and the adrenalines are too hard. The arch support doesn't hit my foot like the old ghost pair. They are the same size and I could not go up or down. They will do, but it's so nice to slip into my old ghost. I don't know why when you make something good, you would ever change it.

Sadly the support in these was terrible from the beginning. My heels were hurting so I switched back to my other Brooks and they immediately felt better. The shoe felt a bit lower around the ankle area which didn't bother me but I noticed.

The Rebel 7's quality has gone down from past models. I love the shape and feel of them for cardio, light lifting, and everyday wear, so this is my third pair. I've worn the Revel 5 and Revel 6 until they were too worn out to continue. The quality of the Revel 7 is clearly lesser than the 5 and 6. Right out of the box, you can see the glue along the edges of the shoe and there's some stitching that's sticking out. I still love the shoe, but Brooks, get it together.

I have tried several models of running shoes through brooks; ghost, adrenaline, launch, trace and a older version of revel. This shoe has had the strangest feel to it. I run 1-2.5 miles 3x a week and regardless of the distance or terrain my calves are absolutely cooked after wearing the revel 7's. I did not experience this with the previous revel version I had. I also switched back to my ghosts just to see if maybe it was me but after my run I felt like I usually do. These revels are very light and I like the snuggness of the fit. I think I may walk in them a bit more and try to break them in some before my next run in them, they only have ~12 miles on them now. If breaking them in more doesn't work my calves are just going to get yoked I guess :)

After having worn them a few times where they should be broken into by now my toe hits the side of the shoe making it uncomfortable to wear all day or during a workout however i have the same pair only in black and such a contrast. The fit is great.

I have a had a previous pair the 6 and the toe space was much better than the 7. The is even a little extra material under the tongue of the shoe that rubs on the top of the foot putting extra pressure on the great toe and seems little more narrow than previous pair making a little bit of uncomfortable.

I've had several different styles of brooks and never had an issue with any until I bought the Revel 7.. the sole has come loose and the shoestring cords have come loose on one shoe and all this happened within 3 months.

I see why these were on sale. Instant shin splints.

Comfortable, but broke down way too fast. All my other Brooks have lasted at least 6 months. Started wearing these in March and my feet are already hurting (usually my first indicator of needing new shoes). They are also fraying/tearing near my ankle of both shoes.

This is my first pair of Revel. They killed my feet, only wore them for a few hours . Hoping they would loosen up.

Ripped quick, cheap quality for an expensive shoe. Do better Brooks. They were somewhat comfortable but my feet still ached at the end of my shifts.

Love the look, but ordered my normal Brooks size and they are too tight. I will need to return and go up a half size. Frustrating.

Such a weird fit and very uncomfortable. They are so bulky that I feel I can't even walk correctly in them. Will be returning.

I LOVED my revel 6 shoes, so when I needed a new pair I went for the 7's and I hate them. They hurt my feet so bad and now I'm stuck with an expensive pair of shoes I've worn 3x. . Blah! So disappointed.
