Road running recommended

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After several runs on the road, they feel very comfortable and lightweight. Recently, I tested them in a half-marathon and the experienced went well.

Two different shoes?

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

I like the shoes but they feel different, like I’m wearing two completely different shoes. Very disappointing.

Support isn't great...

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful shoe, but for me, the support is very uneven and a little on the soft side. I don't use it for my walks, this goes into the pretty shoe category, I just wear it to look good.

Nice, but not for me…

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the shoe, but it wasn’t right for me. Very nice looking, and comfortable to wear, but I needed more cushioning, and a bigger toe box, so I returned it and bought the Ghost Max 3, and these are great. I had worn these a few days, and the return went smoothly, with no issues. Brooks really means it when they say hassle free returns!

Not what I expected

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

After being highly satisfied with my Defyance Max purchase, I decided to test the Revel Max as part of my search for a "conscious budget max shoe." While the sizing was accurate, the overall comfort and long-term wearability—particularly during extended periods of walking at work—did not meet my expectations. The shoes were notably uncomfortable, especially around the heel area, which has made them difficult to wear for prolonged durations. Given my knee replacement surgery last year, I now prioritize footwear that offers adequate support and alleviative benefits for pain, and thus currently limit my options to either the Ghost Max or Adrenaline models.

High hopes but disappointed

Light weight versatile multi purpose shoe

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very solid lower prices shoe that is light and versatile. I use these shoes as my cross trainer shoes as they still have a lower 6mm drop I prefer while I do Nordic Walking with poles as my primary cross training to avoid the pounding of running every day and they have performed well and held up nicely. I do not see myself running in these as they are not quite as stable and cushioned as my primary runners (Glycerin Max).

Prefer the Ghost

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

Fair performance for a reasonably priced shoe. However, the Ghost series is a far superior shoe with a better return of value.

Maxing on a budget

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My go to, all around shoe. Good support, good cushion without the bulk. Good for park jogs, the gym, cross training, and theme park shoes. Getting another pair for back up. I do wish they had better colors but the black on black is solid. Multiple compliments! I bought them on sale just to beat them up, I’m glad I did!

Good for shorter shifts.

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable after some breaking in time. Would still prefer ghost max for long 12-14 hour shifts. Did experience some foot fatigue after long shifts vs ghost max.

New to Brooks. Working great, so far....

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried on multiple shoes & brands before choosing the Revel Max.Just a couple of weeks in, but they are performing as planned. Use for treadmill and light gym work. For me, they are a "happy medium" between the larger more cushioned shoe options & the flat foot running shoes. Great rocker feel puts a snap in my stride on the treadmill. Good for 2-3 miles per day. I wear them only in the gym. Many were close to this shoe, but it seemed to be the best overall. Previously a Hoka Rincon 4 & Ariah 7 user. These fit in nicely to my sneaker lineup.

Love love!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a nurse, I don’t need a ‘running’ shoe but one with plenty of support and soft cushioning. Had Ghost Max but honestly these feel fine for work use. I love wearing them. My go-to shoe. I wear women’s 10 but I bought men’s 8.5. Just for fit
