FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
They are ideal for daily training, though for long-distance marathon events, many runners prefer rotating between different levels of cushion.
How does the size 9.5 fit compared to other brands?
Nike generally follows standard sizing; however, running shoes often benefit from a half-size up compared to casual street shoes to allow for foot swelling.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No. Heat from a dryer will permanently damage the foam midsole and the fabric bonds.
Is this a neutral or stability shoe?
The Revolution 8 is designed as a neutral running shoe, providing a balanced, cushioned ride.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The weight is approximately 236 g, making it a lightweight option for daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Adjust the lacing technique to a wider pattern to relieve tension across the bridge of the foot.
Slippage in the heel area
Try a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing method to secure the heel cup more firmly against the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Revolution 8 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear the shoes for short, low-intensity walks before committing to longer runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Clean the mesh upper using a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water. Avoid submerging the shoes or using a washing machine, which can damage the adhesive and foam properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the performance of the synthetic materials over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK fit; ensure you measure your foot while wearing your preferred running socks for the most accurate sizing.
