Are you still running mileage in your yard? If so then you probably wouldn't notice a difference, but you might if you run on the roads.
No. I have been on the road for the couple of weeks leading up until I got injured with plantar fasctiis.
I would return them if you don’t like them. If you do like them then run in them for awhile and report back. They might help with PF, but they might not. There may be better options out there, but not sure.
Can anyone else give imput?

The person at a running store examined your feet (maybe your stride too?), determined what kind of foot you have, and recommended a shoe that works for people with that type of foot. You should trust that over some online randoms.
What is the store's return/exchange policy? Many stores let you run in the shoe and if it doesn't work for you allow you to at least exchange it for another model. Some places will give you a full refund.
Shoes can be like day and night. For an experiment I went back to my old brand and model today after running for months in my new, different brand and model. I got about a mile down the road and it was so uncomfortable. I turned back, got home and put on the new model I was wearing. What a difference! Pure freedom. My old model was big, bulky and my ankle hurt.
It took me at least several exchanges before I got the new model. It can be difficult to find the right running shoe.

And the last person of this post here says running stores can't figure that information out.

Holy **** if you're just going to argue against everything just so you can put in the minimum effort required just handstand and run with your hands or whatever. There's different schools of thought with everything.
Run with the shoes for a few weeks (actually run, not 12 minute miles strolling in your backyard) and if they feel right then you're set. Don't question and argue right when you get them.
A running shoe can only go two ways, good or not good. Both sides of the coin has been given to you. What more do you want? If you can't understand basic english, go back to elementary school or something. Youre a hopeless fool.

I just don't know what a good shoe is supposed to feel like.

Why not join your DI school's team and get free running shoes?

Because no matter how many times you argue that they are "running shoes", they aren't suitable for any committed running.
The term "running shoe" is extremely broad. It's basically any shoe that somebody can exercise in at bare minimum level and commitment. Sure, you can run in those Nike Revolutions if you're running 20 minutes a day 3 days a week, and if a guy who's running on a treadmill at the end of their gym session (just to say they do cardio) is wearing them I'm not going to tell them that the shoes suck, but for somebody who is actually committed to running, there's far better options.
So are my new shoes good?
They are as good as the runner in them.

So the shoes aren't important? I wasted my money buying them?

Told you so! But would you listen? O no, David45 knows best!
Barefoot is the only way to go for you.
Or the Nike Cortez, like Forrest Gump run in, thousands and thousands of miles, year after year in only 1 pair, and no PF for him.
Just do like him and Run David45, RUN!!
All your posts sound like they come right out of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/iamverysmart/
Your new shoes are good shoes, a TON of them are sold every year of that model, but only you can tell if they will work for you. Run in them a few times, run fast intervals, run normal, see how you like them. You didn't waste any money as shoes need to be replaced often.
Nothing good come from being so paranoid about this. Go run and leave it alone, if the shoes bother you after a few runs exchange them. All good running stores have great policies.

Return them and demand 2 pairs of Rev 4s to make up for your wasted time
Did you wear a mask inside the store?

You shouldn’t be able to “feel” a good shoe. If they don’t hurt to wear or after using them for a while they are good shoes. If something develops then go to store with said shoe and let them help solve it. It may take a few pairs of shoes to dial in, but you have to start somewhere. You might lose weight and run faster and your needs change. There is no perfect shoe. If you have problems with every shoe you try, find a new sport, it just wasn’t meant to be.
Does anyone else sometimes suspect that David45 was actually created by the site mods to f*ck with everyone?
