I’ve had both Brooks (Revel) and ASICS (Excite) in recent years. I found the brooks to be comfortable, however it doesn’t take long for them to wear holes by my pinky toe, even after sizing up a half size. I think this is because of the narrow toe box. I’ve found the ASICS Gel Excite have a wider toe box and look and feel good ever a year later with regular use. I got a light color so I just throw them in the wash every once in a while and they come out looking great.
