FAQs

Are the Brooks Revel 8 suitable for marathon running?

While the Revel 8 offers good cushioning for shorter to medium distances, it may not provide the specialized, high-level support and durability required for marathon training. For marathon distances, Brooks offers models like the Ghost or Glycerin.

How do I clean my Brooks Revel 8 trainers?

We recommend spot cleaning with a mild soap and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the shoe's structure and materials.

What is the main benefit of the BioMoGo DNA cushioning?

BioMoGo DNA cushioning is designed to be adaptive, meaning it provides a personalized level of cushioning based on your weight, stride, and speed, ensuring a smooth and responsive feel.

Can I wear these shoes for activities other than running?

Yes, the Brooks Revel 8 features a versatile design suitable for various activities including walking, gym workouts, and general casual wear, in addition to running.

What is the purpose of the arrow-shaped outsole?

The arrow-shaped outsole is engineered to facilitate quick transitions from heel to toe, promoting a more efficient stride and a smoother ride, especially during faster running paces.

How should the fit feel?

The fit should be secure and comfortable, with enough room in the toe box for natural foot splay. The upper should feel snug but not constricting, and your heel should not slip excessively.

What is the warranty period for these trainers?

Brooks typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Brooks warranty policy for specific details, usually covering a period from the date of purchase.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider wearing them with appropriate athletic socks. If the issue persists, check for any manufacturing defects.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

Cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. For optimal performance, consider replacing trainers after 300-500 miles of running, depending on impact and surface.

Upper material feels restrictive

The engineered mesh is designed to be snug. If it feels too tight, try loosening the laces. The material may also break in slightly over time with wear.
