- Is the Nike Revel 8 good for beginners?
- Yes. It is a neutral, cushioned shoe that suits new runners logging easy miles. It is not a stability shoe, so runners with significant overpronation should look elsewhere.
- Can I use the Revel 8 for gym training?
- It works for light cross-training, cardio machines and lifting. The soft foam and neutral platform make it less stable for heavy lifting or lateral agility work than a dedicated training shoe.
- How does it compare with the Revel 7?
- The Revel line keeps the same basic formula: mesh upper, foam midsole, rubber outsole. Each version brings minor tweaks to the upper and cushioning rather than a redesign, so the fit and feel stay close.
- Does the Revel 8 fit true to size?
- Most wearers find it true to size with a standard medium width. Runners between sizes or with wide feet may want to try a half size up.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. The mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof, so it is best for dry conditions and indoor training.
- What is the shoe best for?
- Easy daily runs, treadmill sessions, gym workouts and casual wear. It is not intended for race day or serious speed training.
- Where is the Nike Revel 8 Men's Grey Running Shoes cheapest?
- At Nike, for $80.00, as of our latest check.
