- Is the Nike Revolution 8 good for beginners?
- Yes. It is a neutral, cushioned trainer with a forgiving rocker and a 10mm drop, which suits new runners building easy mileage and walkers who want comfort.
- Does the Revolution 8 work for overpronation?
- No. It has no stability posting or medial support, so runners who overpronate heavily should look at a stability shoe instead.
- Can I use it for walking and the gym?
- Yes. The soft foam, padded collar and light weight make it a fine everyday walking and light gym shoe, though it is not built for heavy lifting or court sports.
- How does it compare with the Revolution 7?
- Nike says the 8 has a more ventilated mesh upper and the same soft rocker foam approach. The changes are refinements rather than a redesign, so the fit and ride feel familiar.
- What is the drop and weight?
- It has a 10mm heel-to-toe drop and weighs about 236g in a women's US 8, which is light for a cushioned daily trainer.
- Can I run trails in it?
- It is a road shoe. The rubber outsole has a traction-oriented tread and flex grooves for pavement, not the lugs or grip for technical trails.
