Is the Brooks Revel Max good for daily running?

Yes. It is built as a neutral daily trainer with DNA LOFT v2 cushioning and a rockered sole, which suits easy and moderate-paced miles. Runners chasing speed work will want a lighter, firmer shoe.

How does it compare with the Brooks Ghost?

The Ghost is a firmer, more traditional neutral trainer with a 12mm drop. The Revel Max is softer, has a 6mm drop and adds a rocker for a smoother roll, so it feels more relaxed and less grounded.

Does the Revel Max work for overpronators?

No. It is a neutral shoe with no medial support post or guide rail. Runners who overpronate should look at a stability model such as the Brooks Adrenaline GTS.

What is the drop on the Brooks Revel Max?

It has a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, lower than most Brooks daily trainers. That encourages a more midfoot strike and a natural stride.

Can I wear the Revel Max for walking and everyday use?

Yes. The knit upper, padded collar and soft foam make it comfortable off the run. The rocker also helps on long walks and standing.

What is the upper made of?

An engineered knit with nylon and synthetic fibers, lined in nylon. It stretches to conform to the foot, with a lace-up closure and padded tongue and collar.
