tldr; Mixed reception for responsive, cushioned. Comfortable daily trainer. Good for tempo runs.
Check pricesBest praise vs top criticism for Brooks Revel 6
βHi! I am a female, 5'5, and 145 pounds. Size 8.5 or 9 shoes. Seasoned/experienced runner having run several half marathons, marathons, and ultras on trail. While on trail I run in Asics and Brooks Catamount. However I'm starting to run more on the road and need shoe help! I love Brooks Revels for shorter runs, but have tried Brooks Ghost and Trace for longer runs and HATE them. They feel too heavy and hard. Is there a shoe out there similar to the revel that would be better for longer runs? I'm not stuck on Brooks so other brand recs are welcome! TIA!β
