I have been wearing Hokas for years because of the need for support, and I liked the rocker sole. I have had to quit running, however, because of joint degradation, and needed a flatter shoe that still provided good support. I needed a shoe that I could lift weights in, so it needs to be flat enough to feel the floor; and yet allow me to knock around, take long walks with the dogs. An all-around sneaker. So I took a chance on the Revel 7, based on the configurator and its recommendations. I have been wearing them for about 3 weeks, and they are working out pretty well. My only concern, and it's a rather small one, is that I feel the seam of the sneaker on the outside corner of my great toe in each shoe. I take some long hill walks with the dogs, and that seam has not been an issue, hasn't created blisters or ongoing discomfort. I am just fussy, is all. I am interested to see how the shoe wears in the next few months. If it wears well, I will be back for sure. The price is right, and it's kind of a relief wearing a lighter shoe with good support after years of the heavier Hoka.
