Which should you pick?

head-to-head · opinion

Both the Brooks Revel 8 and the Revel 9 Women's are budget daily trainers at 100 USD with an 8 mm drop and moderate cushion, so the main difference is weight: the Revel 9 is lighter at 244 g versus 258 g. Pick either for easy miles and all-day wear, but neither suits tempo work or racing; go with the Revel 9 if the slightly lighter feel matters to you.
