FAQs
Are the Brooks Revel 7 suitable for wide feet?
The standard width is designed for a typical foot. If you have wider feet, it's recommended to try them on in person or look for specific wide-width versions if available, as the precise lacing system might not fully accommodate significant width.
How do these compare to Brooks Ghost trainers?
The Revel series is generally lighter and offers a more responsive feel, geared towards faster paces and daily training. The Ghost series is known for its plush cushioning and versatility, often preferred for longer runs and recovery days.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Brooks Revel 7. Hand washing with mild soap and a damp cloth is the best method for cleaning to preserve the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
What is the expected lifespan of the Brooks Revel 7?
For running purposes, the general guideline is to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles. Lifespan can vary based on running surface, frequency, intensity, and individual gait.
Is the cushioning firm or soft?
The BioMoGo DNA cushioning offers a balanced feel – it's not overly soft or excessively firm. It adapts to provide a blend of comfort and responsiveness suitable for various running speeds.
Can these be used for marathon running?
While they offer good cushioning and comfort for shorter to mid-distance runs, marathoners who prioritize maximum cushioning and long-distance support might prefer models specifically engineered for ultra-distance events.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, tighten them evenly, ensuring the heel is snug and the forefoot has room. Consider using different lacing techniques for targeted pressure relief or security.
Feet feel hot or sweaty
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, obstructing airflow. The engineered mesh is designed for breathability; if issues persist, consider wearing moisture-wicking socks.
Reduced cushioning over time
While the BioMoGo DNA cushioning is durable, it will naturally break down with extensive use. If cushioning feels significantly reduced, it may be time to consider replacing the shoes, typically after 300-500 miles of running.
