Fit good. Overall very comfortable. Bought for my daughter who runs cross country and said she really liked them.

With A Few Improvements, This Could Be A Great Shoe!

I wanted to love these shoes. I desperately need new running shoes and it has been a struggle to find a happy medium between too much cushion/stack height and not enough. The Revel 7 is perfect in this regard. They provide support and comfort cushioning, but don’t look like clown shoes or feel like marshmallows. They are attractive, fit well, are true to size for me, and have good overall support. That’s the good stuff. I returned these shoes due to what were (for me) fatal flaws: 1) The lacing system. Rather than going through eyelets like normal shoes, the Revel 7 laces go through looped cords that lay on the top of the shoe over the tongue. There are three problems with this design: a) It’s very difficult to get the shoe comfortably tightened. b) When the laces are tightened for a good lockdown, the cord loops press down on tongue and put uncomfortable pressure on the top of my foot and tendons, and c) based on reviews by others, I’m concerned about how the loops will (or won’t) hold up over time. 2) The tongue is too long and too thin. The tongue came up too high and dug into the front of my ankle with every step. It would eventual shift to the side, even with the gusset, but that was neither comfortable or attractive. The thinness of the tongue allowed the lacing loops to dig in to the top of my foot. 3) While I did not test these shoes outdoors due to the above issues, the sole did not feel as though it would have good traction on a wet surface. The rubber felt more slippery than I would have expected. I liked the Revel 7 enough to try the Revel 8. There aren’t as many cords, and the tongue appears to be shorter judging by the photos. (fingers crossed) If you’re on the fence, you should try the Revel 7. I have a very low volume foot that is on the bony side. If your foot is bit “meatier” you may not have the same issues.

I wear this shoe for everyday and it's so comfortable that I cannot do without it. I am not a runner but a very active housewife and great grandmother!

Great Shoe.

Great shoe, very comfortable but they squeak when i walk.

Comfortable Shoe

I bought these two weeks ago and I am very happy with them. They are great for exercising. They are a little wide in the heel.
