I've been wearing Brooks Glycerin's and Adrenaline's for 11 years, but when these tie-dye Revel 6's showed up on my browser pages, I knew I had to give them a try. I couldn't be happier! I ordered a 9 medium which I usually buy in my tennis shoes. They fit perfectly and unlike the Adrenaline 22's, the shoe laces are long enough to tie. The first time I wore these shoes, I wore then eleven hours for 13,000 steps (7 of those hours was working for 11,000 steps). They didn't bother my broken toe, I didn't have foot or leg pain (I have fibromyalgia so this is a big deal). I've tried so many brands of shoes (including multiple Hoka, Nike, & Asics sytles) and I continuously go back to Brooks. I'm happy to know I now have a slightly less expensive option that is just as comfortable and am going to be purchasing them in another color. I almost forgot to mention the compliments. The colors are bright and cheerful and everyone was loving them! Go get yourself a pair before they're gone!

I love Brooks, especially Ghost. I think these Revel 6 would be great for heavier women, with wider ankles and fuller feet. I don't have narrow feet, and I certainly don't have narrow ankles, but my heels slid up and down in these no matter how tightly I tied them, even adding the 'extra' lace hole at the ankle.

This is my first pair of Brooks and I am very happy with them. Others have commented that they run narrow and are not cushioned but that has not been the case for me. They fit me perfectly and are not too wide, but give ample room in the toe box. They are nicely cushioned with a little arch support (not overly high) and they are SUPER light. I would definitely recommend them.

This tye-dye pattern gives me all the feels. This shoe is wider than other Brooks styles I own, but not so wide it's ill-fitting on my narrow-width feet. I sized up by half size, and I have plenty of room in the toe box. Although this sneaker is comfortable, it's not as cushioned or flexible as some of the other styles I own. I still enjoy wearing these for short fitness walks and cross-training workouts. Would recommend this style especially if you have wide feet.

I bought this model for the esthetics only; love the all black and brown sole for fall/winter wear. These make my feet look really, really small too (I am a size 9). The Revel 6 is very firm compared to other Brooks I have tried though (bummer). I would describe them as a notch more supportive than Converse. I have fibromyalgia, EDS, and autoimmune swelling, but despite how firm these shoes are, they don't seem to cause issues for me so far so keeping them when I am wanting more of a style vs. comfort.

I am 37 about to be 38. I started running this year and started having knee issues with another brand of shoes. I went to the ortho doctor and he suggested Brooks running shoes. I haven't had knee problems since. They didn't need to broken in so I was able to wear them comfortably right out of the box. The shoes are nice and I get compliments on them. I feel like I am running and walking on clouds, for reference I walk/run 15k steps a day between working out and my job. I would recommend these for anyone but especially if you have any knee or foot issues.

I used a pair of Revel 4s for years and loved them! With the 6, I found I had to size up a half size to stay comfortable running, whereas the 4's were more true to size. I'm typically an 8 and ordered an 8 (returned) and an 8.5 (kept). I re-purchased Revels because they pack down well for travel and are a comfortable shoe. The footbed is much harder than I remember my last pair being, but after running in them once, I can feel it softening up a bit as I break them in.

Light-weight and comfy! Cute animal print! I always get compliments. I thought the fit was a little looser around the heel at first (same size as my last pair), but they seem to be settling in and if I wear thicker socks they are fine.

I like it! It feels a little bit lighter than my ghost but it still provides just as much support. I've worn it to work and it definitely delivered! Highly recommend. You won't go wrong with this one!

I didn't purchase these for running. I need comfy shoes for standing all day at work. These are noticeably less cushy than the Ghosts but they are comfortable. It's only been 2 weeks now & I have no complaints, hoping they'll last a reasonable amount of time.

Like walking on a cloud. Only -1 star because it does feel like the shoe sits low on my ankle, often feeling like my heel/ankle is unstable. I love the arch support, however after a long day of use it felt like the ball of my foot became a pressure point. Weight of shoe is perfect. Grip on sole is strong, sometime I catch the ground though.

Fits more snug than the ghost 14, a little too short and tight on the ends of my toes.

There isn't enough support in this shoe, makes my feet ache and get cramps. Disappointed especially with the 100 price.

I am a Brooks fan anyway, and these fit great. I wore them a lot and the cute neutral pattern and color blending with anything I wore them with. Great arch support and comfort. Breathable fabric, yet supportive. I have wider feet in the toe area and these were comfortable. I have never bought Brooks that I didn't like!

Love the color and the fit is good. Wish Brooks would make and continue to stock favorites instead of having quickly rotating selection of sizes, models and colors.
