Which should you pick?

head-to-head · opinion

The Brooks Revel 9 and Revel 9 Women's are essentially the same shoe tuned by fit, both $100 daily trainers with 8 mm drop and moderate cushioning aimed at beginners and casual runners. Pick whichever matches your fit and sizing needs; neither is the right choice if you want a responsive ride for tempo work or racing, since the plain foam falls short there. For easy runs and all-day wear on a budget, either works equally well.
