Review on Brooks Womens Revel White Black Sports & Fitness by Scott Rao

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The quality has been terrible lately.

I loved my rivulets from before but the last 2 pairs I bought were terrible. I came to the conclusion that they have changed manufacturers and now their quality has deteriorated. I bought the new Ghost Brooks from a running shop about 3 months ago and they kept telling me that my size 8.5 isn't enough and that I badly needed a 9 anyway. I realized that this is complete nonsense. Needless to say they drew me one because they don't refund, only exchange and the styles I wanted, they didn't have an 8.5 so I went for a 9. Now for the picture. The left shoe is my first pair of Revel Brooks which I LOVE. I never felt any pain or anything. On the right are the new shoes. Both 8.5. The old ones fit perfectly, the new ones made me feel like I was walking in heels after only 2 hours. So I returned this 8.5 and got 9. They are VERY big. Not only her but I tried to walk in it and after 2 miles my legs were just killing me! I'm used to walking much farther without problems. Shoes are damaged. "Filling" and "cushion" did not exist. I'm a personal trainer and I've always referred my clients to Brooks. I won't do it again. Even my husband had to order several pairs and still can't believe how much they charge for such crappy shoes. He would rather go back to his cheap sneakers.

Pros

Cons
