Brooks Men's Revel 5 Running Shoe

Product Information

Cushioning: While some runners prefer a more minimalist style shoe, others like plenty of cushioning. Consider how much padding you want in a running shoe. The Brooks Hyperion Max running shoes were specifically created for racers, and racers need a lightweight shoe that helps them stride forward confidently without exerting extra energy. This shoe was constructed to allow for fast transitions and impact protection—two things you need when you’re trying to improve your speed. They have a nice “spring” that helped us accelerate and decelerate at different tempos. The curved heel and toe help propel you forward for easy running transitions. We recovered well and felt refreshed after working out in these shoes, and that carried into our next few workouts.

This will depend on how much running you do in your shoes,” Hotchkiss says. “On average, running shoes will last 300–500 miles. If you are an avid runner and running 20 miles a week, that equates to 4–6 months of use. If you run less, your shoes will last longer.” Is it OK to wear running shoes for walking? Function: Are you a trail runner, or do you plan on logging miles on the road? Look for running shoes that are specifically designed for your intended use. We love that the breathable upper adjusts to your foot’s unique shape, so you get an accurate, comfortable fit. Plus, the Addiction comes in a variety of width sizes, and it’s deep enough to fit inserts like insoles for flat feet or custom orthotics.The support in these shoes was one of our favorite features. We do sometimes experience pain when running for a while, but we noticed these running shoes didn’t exacerbate the pain or irritate us in any way. Every run since the first has been the same thought in my mind, Brooks has made a slightly less soft Ghost with a snug mesh upper at a lower price. Brooks Revel Sole Unit Hotchkiss says, “Running shoes usually provide support, stability, cushion, and comfort that make them great for walking or just casual day-to-day use.” However, it’s important to find the level of stability and support that feels most comfortable to you. What’s the difference between the Brooks Adrenaline and Ghost shoes? The shoe comes in four different widths, so you can get a custom-like fit and feel. It’s a bit heavier than its predecessor, so long-time fans of the Ghost may notice a difference. However, neutral runners who want a versatile, durable shoe that can go the distance will undoubtedly be impressed.

Now don’t get me wrong, they have a Porsche in the garage with their DNA Flash midsole material, but Brooks reserves that sweet product for an extremely limited lineup, which is frustrating. Something that really stood out to us about this shoe when testing is that when running uphill, our feet didn’t slip or slide inside the running shoe at all. If you’re a runner who finds themselves going up or down hills or even mountains, this running shoe is a solid option.Renee : Again, I echo Jacob. The midsole allows for versatility. The midsole is neither soft or hard, which makes it a good choice for any pace. Renee: I ran in the Revel 4, so I had expectations of the Revel 5. Brooks states the upper is updated for “versatility and style . . . with a comfortably, secure fit.” Honestly, the Revel 4 and Revel 5 are not much different. I recommend reading the RTR review of the Revel 4 too. The knit upper appears to have a different pattern in the design; otherwise, the shoes seem the same to me (I still have my Revel 4). The Revel 5, like the Revel 4, is a surprisingly versatile, comfortable shoe. The fit is true to size, with some looseness to the upper.
