Literally my favorite shoes I've ever bought. I have arthritis and am always looking for comfortable shoes especially for long walking distances. These are light weight and fit perfectly out of the box. Highly recommend.

Great Shoe Right Out of the Box. No break in time. I have had surgery on both feet for bunions and heel spurs. So my feet are picky about what I wear..I stand for 10 hours a day or more. No sit down jobs where I work. Love this shoe.

I've worn Brooks Ghost shoes for several years and loved their comfort and excellent arch support. But I finally got tired of ugly color combinations and decided to look for a non-clown-colored shoe from Brooks. I'm happy with the Revel's overall fit and support (slightly less arch support than the Ghost). I wear a 7 in Ghost and that size is fine in the Revel also.

First of all, I don't write reviews of products I buy. However this shoe warrants one. This is hands down the best, most comfortable running shoe I've ever had. I've run in different Brooks shoes as well as other brands. This shoe is the absolute most comfortable one I've owned. It's lightweight without compromising structure and durability. Brooks has hit a homerun with the Revel. Do yourself a favor and get a pair. You won't be disappointed!

I bought these in July and it's now been 3 months of not much wear b/c I wear mostly flip flops in the summer and was not working out much. I am now returning them b/c they have started to fall apart. The black material around the very top of the sneaker where you put your foot in the shoe is like a mesh/foam type material and it has deteriorated leaving holes in both sneakers. I love Brooks and had a pair before this pair that I never had a problem with. I don't know if it is just a defective pair or if it is the design of this newer style? Zappos was awesome about the return!

Really like these shoes! Have worn Brooks Adrenaline for years but prefer these. I'm a daily walker not a runner. These give me great support and I love the price!

This shoe was immediately comfortable. It's super cute. The color of the navy shoe looks just like the pictures. The toe box is just right, and I don't have an issue with material rubbing the tops of my toes. I'll use this shoe for casual walking. I usually wear a 9 1/2 in a walking shoe, and the 9 1/2 was perfect.

Give me my glycerin! This shoe is super cute. I wanted to keep them, Bc they look so good & I love the black on black with grey details.
Pros: excellent arch support. Heel cupped into shoe with no movement. It was perfect lace up feel in the instep. The heel & arch area felt very cushioned. The base of tow area was a firm wide base with just enough room to allow toes to splay without being too loose in forefoot.
Cons: NOT NEARLY ENOUGH CUSHIONING UNDERNEATH THE BALL OF FOOT.
I hope the glycerine comes out with a solid black as this one. Plus it's the cutest running shoe I've ever put on. But I couldn't wait to get them off and put my glycerine back on. I walked around the house for an hour in these and it was too hard underneath my forefoot. Note that I do usually wear Chaco or naots, so I'm not "accustomed" to plush. But I do need more cushion in a running shoe.

I like these shoes but breaking them in requires your toes going numb. I would return them but, I’m pretty stubborn and want to see if my toes regain feeling during wear once they’re broken in.

These are my everyday, running errands, riding the subway shoes. I love them! They look great! They’re very comfortable. I tend to roll my foot to the outside as I walk (supination). These sneakers help me keep a more neutral step.

Love these shoes. They are so comfortable to wear. I bought them because we're going sight seeing and I needed a good pair of shoes. we are going to do a lot of walking and I'm still recovering from an injured foot. I feel like I could walk all day in them. My podiatrist recommended Brooks and I'm 100% happy with my purchase.

Very comfortable and versatile shoe. Perfect for running or HIIT. If you require a wide toe bed for comfort, this is a great shoe.

I love these shoes. The color and style is fantastic. They also have great cushion. They aren’t hard to break in either. Overall I’d strongly recommend these!

I have bought several different running/walking shoes this past year. These have become my “go-to” shoe...in fact, I bought 2 additional colors. They have a good sized toe box and provide great support. I walk up to 5 miles and will do 30 to 45 sets of stairs every day.I bought an 8.5 and had no issues with the size or comfort. I took them out of the box and went out for a long walk.

I absolutely LOVE these shoes. I own two pairs. They are amazing. I wear a size 8.5 in both Nike and Brooks. I made the switch from Nike and I'm never going back.

Nice shoes. I run every other day and they feel great.
They are a little heavier than I normally wear. But the roomy feel of them makes up for that.

I ordered 3 pairs of running/workout shoes and these were the clear winner. These shoes are fantastic. I usually have a problem with my heel not feeling secure in shoes and need to tie my laces tight to compensate, but not with these. Perfect fit from heel to toes. Light and supportive. Great for running and HIIT.

Very disappointed in these shoes. I loved them when first ordered. They went well with my black scrubs I wear every day. However, after only a month of wear they developed holes in the top fabric. Now the ankle fabric has started to deteriorate and I’ve only had them a few months. I’ve had brooks in the past but these are very poorly made.

These shoes are wonderful! I was previously running in a pair of Brooks Ghost 9 shoes and opted to try these Revels as I’ve heard good things about them. I run 3 miles and few days a week, and sometimes I push my double-jogging stroller with my kids on those runs. I put these shoes on and went on my run with no need to “wear them in”.

Super comfortable out of the box! I used these to walk in Miami during vacation and the first time I wore them I walked 7 miles with no issues. The true test was going to Disney World with them. They are cushioned and have great arch support. I wore them two days in a row there walking over 20k steps a day. On the 3rd day I had to switch to another pair of shoes.. but that's just my thing. I can't wear the same shoes two days in a row. Great price for Brooks too! Highly recommend.

These are the best running/tennis shoes I have bought in a long time!!! Loved them so much that after the first pair was starting to sign shows of wear, I ordered three additional pairs to stash in my closet as replacements!
The first day I wore them, I worked a twelve hour shift on my feet all day. And loved them!
