FAQs

What type of foot strike is the Revel 8 best suited for?

The Revel 8's BioMoGo DNA cushioning and arrow-shaped outsole make it versatile for various foot strikes, including neutral and mild overpronation. It's designed for smooth transitions.

Can I use these for cross-training activities?

Yes, the Revel 8's stable base and responsive cushioning make them suitable for general cross-training and gym workouts, though they are primarily optimized for running.

How do I know if I have the right size?

There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure on the sides.

Are these waterproof?

No, the Brooks Revel 8 features an engineered mesh upper designed for breathability, not waterproofing. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture, but not for heavy rain or puddles.

How often should I replace my Brooks Revel 8 trainers?

It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 kilometers), or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning and support.

Can the insoles be removed for custom orthotics?

Yes, the insoles in the Brooks Revel 8 are typically removable, allowing space for custom orthotics or other supportive inserts.

What is the difference between the Revel 8 and other Brooks running shoes?

The Revel series is known for its versatility and balanced cushioning, offering a lively feel for daily runs and varied activities. Other series might focus more on maximum cushioning, stability, or minimalist feel.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Allow for a break-in period of a few runs. Ensure laces are adjusted properly, not too tight. If discomfort persists, consider if the size is correct or if the shoe's fit profile is not suitable for your foot shape.

Reduced responsiveness or cushioning feels flat

Check for debris or wear on the outsole that might affect grip and transition. For running shoes, cushioning naturally degrades over time and mileage; consider replacement after significant use (typically 300-500 miles).

Mesh upper shows signs of wear or tears

Avoid excessive force when putting on or taking off the shoes. Regularly inspect for small snags and address them carefully. Harsh use or improper cleaning can accelerate wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Brooks Revel 8 trainers are designed for immediate use out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. It is recommended to wear them for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adapt to the cushioning and support.

Compatibility: These trainers are suitable for men and are primarily designed for road running and general fitness activities. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Brooks Revel 8 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or excessive sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
