I’d happily wear the Revolution 5 to the cross country meets I coach at or anywhere else a maximalist pair of Hoka running shoes may seem a bit too obnoxious. The navy blue and white color look clean, simple, and unassuming. I appreciate that the Revolution 5 looks minimalist and stays away from gimmicky graphics and outlandish market trends. The heel collar provided a secure fit around the ankle. Luckily, even though the laces were short, I did not have to lace them in any untraditional ways, because my heels stayed locked in. The laces were also too short to double-knot, which seems like another cost-cutting issue, along with the structurally insufficient mesh upper. Mesh upper becomes loose very quicklyĮven though the Revolution 5 fit well out of the box, the mesh upper stretched too much and became much looser after only a few miles, which caused my feet to slide when I ran on uneven ground. However, the discomfort was not nearly as noticeable for long walks around my neighborhood or quick warmups before non-running workouts. It was a challenge to settle into my usual cadence and enjoy my run. Typically, the best running shoes work in tandem with your stride and disappear. However, after the first 15 miles, the midsole softened slightly and though this made the ride slightly more enjoyable, it was subpar compared to other shoes I have tried recently. The midsole of the shoe feels overly stiff and hard underfoot.
It feels unnatural and as though there’s a fancy piece of styrofoam underfoot.ĭue to the shoe’s lack of comfort, I do not recommend it for someone who plans to run more than ten miles per week. The Revolution 5 is NOT comfortable at allĭue to the sole’s stiffness and lack of flex mid-stride, the Revolution 5 does not provide much comfort on runs. a comfortable shoe for daily running (in this case, consider the Nike ZoomX Invincible Run).that is race-ready ( Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% 2 is a great choice then).that will take them on long distances (the Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 might be a good choice).made for daily running (in this case, look at the Nike Pegasus line).This shoe is not for runners who are looking for a legit and durable running shoe: actually looking for a minimalist-looking walking shoe.The Revolution 5 is ideal for runners who are: It does not offer a soft cushion nor energetic responsiveness for long runs rather, the sole rigidly slaps the street with each step, and the mesh upper loosens up drastically, which provides a sloppy feel.
