brooks revel 2 review | Who should NOT buy
If you're looking for a dedicated, tried-and-true tempo trainer that's ready to set and beat PRS, we think that it's better to go for the n brooks glycerin 13 o 14 http www runnea com zapatillas running brooks or the Brooks updated Infiniti Shorts.
Brooks mens wide running shoes Under Armour grises is our suggestion.
Cushioning
When checking the flexibility of zapatillas de running Brooks talla 46.5 rosas, what surprised us is how big of a difference it is when comparing the flexibility at room temperature (22.7N) and after the shoe has spent 20mins in the freezer (37.8N).
Launch 9 has a 66.5% difference in those 2 measurements, while the average difference for all the shoes in our lab is 32.9%. You've been warned: store your shoes at room temperature.
Drop
In the brand's specifications, it says that the Launch 9 has a drop of 10mm.
Based on our calliper measurements, this is almost true! With the heel stack of 32.4 mm and the forefoot stack of 23 mm, we got a drop of 9.4 mm.
Launch 9 | 9.4 mm |
Average | 8.6 mm |
Midsole softness
In our durometer measurement, the zapatillas de running Brooks talla 46.5 rosas scored 22 HA which indicates that it has an average level of midsole softness - neither too plush nor firm.
We also felt a touch of pop that added fun to the shoe's ride. Meanwhile, for longer efforts, the cushioning felt quite forgiving, more so than its predecessor.
Launch 9 | 22.0 HA |
Average | 20.9 HA |
Rocker
This shoe has a rockered shape that allows for fast and easy heel-to-toe transitions. It made the ride feel so seamless!
Size and fit
Size
zapatillas de running Brooks talla 46.5 rosas is true to size (11 votes).
Toebox width - widest part
The brand's new Creel wrap upper made us feel very secure and locked in. For our medium-width feet, the shoe appeared to be well-fitted and the knit-like fabric had enough stretch to feel accommodating.
However, using a caliper, we measured the widest part of the forefoot at only 94.7 mm. While this is still in the medium range of toebox widths, wide-footers should definitely go for the wide version of the shoe.
Launch 9 | 94.7 mm |
Average | 98.5 mm |
Stability
Lateral stability test
Despite its higher stack height for a tempo trainer, the zapatillas de running Brooks talla 46.5 rosas never felt tippy, even during sharp turns and when running on gravel.
Torsional rigidity
Torsional stiffness appears to be the source of stability in this Brooks trainer. It took some serious effort to twist the shoe in our manual test. Thus, we rated its rigidity as 4 out of 5. Nearly the stiffest in our catalogue!
Launch 9 | 4 |
Average | 3.4 |
Brooks England Ryggsäck Pickwick Tex Nylon 12L
The shoe's heel counter is more on the pliable side, scoring only 2 out of 5 on the heel squeeze-and-push test.
It may not be a stiff one but it held our B67 quite securely as far as speed-oriented shoes go.

Weight
It's not just lighter than its predecessor; it's also lighter than most running shoes brooks method 8 short tight black sorts gunaikeio.
Launch 9 | 7.94 oz (225g) |
Average | 9.38 oz (266g) |
Breathability
The zapatillas de running Brooks talla 46.5 rosas proved to be a fairly breathable shoe. With very little in-shoe padding, the Launch 9 allows for some decent airflow.
Holding half of the shoe against the light, we could see that a large part of the upper is pretty transparent, keeping the interiors well-ventilated.
Misc
Grip / Traction
It is amazing that Brooks managed to pull off a full-length rubber outsole while keeping the Launch 9 so light!
The grip made us feel very surefooted even on the slightly wet pavement.
Reflective elements
While it's great that the Launch 9 has some, we think that it wouldn't hurt to make them larger. Some at the back would be nice as well!
Tongue padding
What definitely screams SPEED is the tongue: it is very thin.
In the lab, we measured its thickness: an astonishing 1mm. Compare it to the average of 6 mm and you really get a race-ready tongue!
Launch 9 | 1.0 mm |
Average | 5.8 mm |
zapatillas de running Brooks talla 46.5 rosas vs. 8
This time around, the zapatillas de running Brooks talla 46.5 rosas sees these updates:
- Brooks down puffer jacket
- Lighter weight because of the new Creel wrap upper
- Sustainability-driven design with the shoe's Green Rubber outsole
All these changes entail a price increase of £10. From £100, the zapatillas de running Brooks talla 46.5 rosas now retails for £110. But despite this, we still think that the shoe offers excellent value for money.
Sustainable materials
To champion a more eco-friendly approach, the Launch 9 has a green rubber outsole that's made using sand instead of petroleum. This lessens its environmental impact.
