Expert Review Sources

  • OutdoorGearLab : 80.7 / 100 — « Built by Brooks around the Brooks proprietary foam midsole, the Revel 9 holds its own against top daily trainer rivals thanks to its resilient Brooks proprietary foam platform. A smart choice for runners looking for a 8.6 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 80.6 / 100 — « The Brooks Revel 9 is one of the easiest shoes we can recommend to beginners. We really liked its comfortable ride, dependable traction, and durable build, especially at such a budget-friendly price. In our experience, it handles daily runs and walks with a simple, no-fuss feel that works for most runners. We found that the wider platform makes it more stable than before, but that extra security comes with a trade-off: it's now less versatile than previous versions, making it a better choice for easy miles than faster training. »
  • Running Shoes Guru : 79.5 / 100 — « Pairing Brooks's Brooks proprietary foam platform with a 8.6 mm drop, the Revel 9 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its Brooks proprietary foam midsole. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €180. »
