Brooks Men's Revel Running Shoes - Lightweight & Cushioned for Road Running, Training, and Daily Wear

I’m 6’ tall & 290- the heaviest I’ve ever been. Whilst in the midst of getting back into healthy better safer shape & for the last year or two, whenever I shop around/browse for sneakers, I REALLY take my time, looking for the absolute best pairs for easier walking, & my knee/back pain, I’ve had to read many, many reviews, read ALL of the descriptions & specs, & take notes and compare etc. I chose size 12 Black color of these ‘Revels’, out of 6 diff pairs of Brooks that I was watching. So w/ all of the legwork I put in, & of course a bit of good luck, I chose so wisely. I’ve been wearing for about 6 weeks at least 5 days/weekly. For all day “out & about” purposes/walking/to the golf range, etc. I honestly don’t have any ‘cons’ to write about these. Like ALL sneakers throughout my 40+ years, in a state of “brand newness” they’re a bit stiff and firm, & upon my first wearing, (I am Flat-footed), I noticed the little arch-bump that ya might feel in most new sneakers, —after wearing around the house on/off for 2 days, it totally broke in. So all you flat-foots, no worries at all. These sneakers really break-in, & get more and more comfy w/ each new day. Not days or weeks, but in just a few mere days, I was so thrilled that I chose this pair. The aesthetic is pleasing, and the build quality is maybe the best I’ve ever purchased. They’re in fact my first ever pair of Brooks. Over my adult life, I’ve always worn New Balance mostly, occasional ASICS & Saucony. I still think they’re all terrific, but I’m looking forward to sticking w/ Brooks for the foreseeable future. What w/ they’re rep for quality durability & comfort, and my new attesting to the fact, it’s a no-brainer. So, like me if you’ve never had Brooks, I say- DEFINATELY, go for it. Plus most purchases are returnable, really you’ve nothing to lose.
