Brooks Revel 9 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size, available in standard and wide widths. Runners with wider feet may consider going up a half size.

Feel

DNA Loft v2 delivers balanced cushioning: softer than a race flat, not deeply plush. 8mm drop, flexible 32/24mm stack. No explosive response; ride is linear and predictable.

Durability

Solid construction for mixed daily use. Durable engineered mesh upper; one tester reported minor outsole rubber separation around 50 km, not confirmed by other sources. No precise mileage data available from sources.

Best for

Daily road training at easy pace, walking, gym, and lifestyle use. Not suited for fast sessions, high-volume marathon long runs, or technical terrain.

Weak points

Cushioning rated as basic relative to current premium foams — insufficient for high-mileage runners. Weight of 9.5 oz (men's) is uncompetitive for those seeking responsiveness.
