FAQs
Are the BROOKS Revel 7 suitable for wide feet?
The Revel 7 offers a flexible fit, but it is generally designed for standard width feet. If you have significantly wide feet, you may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on or check for available wide-width options if offered by the brand.
How long do the BROOKS Revel 7 typically last?
With regular use for running (approximately 3-4 times per week), the Revel 7 typically lasts between 300-500 miles. Factors like running surface, your weight, and gait can influence lifespan. Their durability rating suggests good longevity for their category.
Can I wear these for activities other than running?
Yes, the Revel 7 is designed for versatility. Their comfortable cushioning and sleek look make them suitable for walking, gym workouts, and casual everyday wear.
What is the main difference between the Revel 7 and other Brooks running shoes?
The Revel series is known for its balance of cushioning and responsiveness with a focus on versatility and a sleek design, making it a great option for daily training and casual wear. Models like the Ghost or Glycerin offer more emphasis on plush cushioning, while racing shoes prioritize lightness and speed.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Measure the length of your foot from heel to the tip of your longest toe. Compare this measurement to the Brooks sizing chart, which typically provides conversions from metric measurements to UK, US, and EU sizes. It's also helpful to know your foot width.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the BROOKS Revel 7 is not waterproof. The upper is designed for breathability, which means it will allow water to penetrate in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Try loosening the laces and re-tying them, ensuring even pressure. If discomfort persists after a short break-in period, consider if this is the correct size or fit for your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
Over time, cushioning naturally degrades. If the shoes feel less supportive than before, it may be time to consider a replacement, especially if used frequently for running.
Sole appears worn or damaged
Inspect the outsole for significant wear, especially in high-impact areas. If the tread is heavily worn, grip may be compromised, indicating the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for running.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The BROOKS Revel 7 arrives ready to wear. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size for optimal fit. Trying them on indoors before outdoor use is recommended to confirm comfort and fit.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed primarily for road running. They are compatible with standard running socks and are suitable for use on paved surfaces, treadmills, and other firm, even terrains. They are not recommended for technical trails or very uneven surfaces.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Revel 7 sneakers:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, which can cause the materials to shrink or warp.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
