Brooks surprises us again with the arrival of a new reissue of one of the most popular training models among runners. We are talking, of course, about the Brooks Revel 6, one of the most versatile models of the American brand that can stand as one of the great silhouettes of the season for its value for money.

And it is that, as it could not be otherwise, the staff of the suggestive philosophy Run Happy returns to show off innovation to present the running shoes Brooks Revel 6 with some very specific features and new updates that surely will not leave anyone indifferent.

Brooks Revel 6: Profile

Main features of the Brooks Revel 6

The Revel 6 are Brooks running shoes designed to offer one of the best fit sensations on the market. A model that seeks to improve the runner's running experience at all times, and to do so in a simple and effective way.

It is a training model that combines aesthetics and technical quality in equal parts, all under an enviable quality-price ratio. In the aesthetic field, these renewed Brooks Revel 6 are committed to show a significant change of image, with a more distinguished and elegant design, reflecting the latest fashion trends.

Ideal runner of the Brooks Revel 6

This sixth installment of the Brooks Revel will also maintain the essence of being one of those regular training shoes for runners with neutral foot steps and intermediate weights (under 85 kilos). A model that ensures fluid and comfortable strides, but also safe.

In addition, we are talking about a "trotter" model to be able to complete long distances at easy paces. An example of what a training model should provide; comfort, durability and stability in equal parts.

Technical specifications of the Brooks Revel 6

Some of the most important technical details of these new Brooks Revel 6 can be found in the midsole. Without much change with respect to the previous version, the Brooks Revel 5, the star compound will continue to be the adaptable BioMoGo DNA foam, an ideal compound to offer smooth, comfortable and agile transitions.

For their part, these running running shoes for men and women stand out for the technical mesh of their upper, with a flat design, which will continue to wrap around the foot, adapting it better, but with a few small improvements. Unlike the Green Rubber outsole, which improves both resistance and durability as well as traction. A Brooks model that has more reinforcements in its strategic points, such as the heel and toe, and thus contribute to a safer and more reliable race.

Brooks Revel 6

Having never tried a Brooks running shoe before, I was looking forward to this moment, and it has finally arrived! I've had the opportunity to try the Brooks Revel 6, and after 26 days running with them, I must tell you that if you are looking for a functional and accessible shoe, this Brooks model is an option you should consider, especially for being one of the most versatile proposals of the American brand.

Within the Brooks Energize line, the Revel 6 stands out for its DNA midsole and affordable price, which makes it an excellent choice if you are looking for premium shoes without investing too much money.

Type of runner the Brooks Revel 6is aimed at

The Brooks Revel 6 are aimed at a wide range of runners, but in my opinion, they are ideal for medium-lightweight runners looking for a competent, lightweight shoe for their daily workouts and fast paces.

In terms of recommended distances, the Revel 6 are perfect mostly for short to medium distance outings. Their cushioning and design make them suitable for runs of up to 10 kilometers, although they can also handle slightly longer distances if you have a refined running technique. If you don't have that more refined technique, I wouldn't recommend them for longer distances as they are a standard cushioning shoe.

What I liked most about the Brooks Revel 6

One of the aspects I want to highlight about the Brooks Revel 6 is its versatility, as I have used them for both running and walking, and they have become one of my favorite shoes for everyday use. In addition, their DNA midsole offers balanced cushioning, adequate responsiveness and provides a firm yet comfortable feel underfoot. The extra 2mm of cushioning that Brooks has added in the heel for improved comfort is noticeable.

The upper is another plus for the Revel 6, as with its flat one-piece design, you feel how it fits and hugs the foot, as well as offering very good breathability.

And on the other hand, I find it interesting to comment that its upper is made of 597 recycled materials, making special emphasis on Brooks' focus on sustainability.

Another part that I liked and that I think is important to highlight is its Green Rubber outsole, and its arrow-shaped pattern makes transitions during the race faster and more efficient. In addition, being made entirely out of rubber, it ensures good durability, which is a very favorable point for a shoe in this price range.

Possible improvements for the Brooks Revel 6

Although Revel 6 have many things going for them, there are some aspects that, at least for my runner profile and foot type, could be improved. For example, the heel fit is a bit lower than I'm used to, as I usually wear shoes with a higher heel. However, this is just a matter of getting used to it and other runners may find it comfortable right out of the box.

On the other hand, the cushioning is adequate for short to medium distances, but might not be enough for runners looking for more protection on longer runs. Therefore, if you don't have a very refined technique, I wouldn't recommend these shoes for long distances.

Final Conclusions

All in all, the Brooks Revel 6 is an excellent choice for runners looking for an affordable and versatile daily training shoe. Although they have a simple design, they are going to be an effective shoe and above all, at an affordable price. Although they are not the best option if you are looking for a shoe for long distances or with great technologies, their purpose as a short and medium distance shoe is ideal.

The Brooks Revel 6 is a celebration of simple and effective running shoes. They don't aim to be the most innovative shoes on the market, but they offer a solid and reliable running experience at an affordable price. For runners who value functionality and economy, Revel 6 are an option worth considering.
