I am a neutral pronator, have been running in Asics Gel Nimbus since they were model 8's. I was looking for a lighter alternative with similar support. I've put 200 miles on these shoes in the past month training for a race and am very satisfied. Recommended.

Very pleased with this purchase. A comfortable show for my long runs. No more shin splints. I've always had good luck with the Brooks brand.

Great shoe with excellent arch support, light weight and breathes nicely.

Lightweight and grips the foot well. However, if you are someone who likes heavily padded shoes, this may not be right for you. I switched from a nimbus 12 to these and I am sometimes missing the extra padding and stability. Although, as I get used to these shoes, they appear to be working well. Also, as they are not white, I like that they don't reflect the wear and tear I've put them through as much.

I am a moderate overpronater. Other stability shoes I have tried in the past have felt too stiff, clunky, and heavy. The Brooks Ravenna 2 fit like a glove, lightweight, and gives me just the right amount of corrective support (for a male, 5'11", 180 lbs, and 57 years old).

Zappos is a great company so don't get me wrong. The shoes were more size 10 than 10.5.

Awesome shoe for the price. After doing some research about running shoes the Brooks Ravenna are great. They fit great, feel good and my feet do not kill after long runs.

Was fitted for these shoes at a local store but they only had one in an ugly color. Why do I have to settle for poor selection? Zappos had the same price with free shipping in this nice looking red color. Received the shoes less than 48 hours after ordering and they feel great. Ran 4 miles right out of the box with no issues or break in needed. These shoes feel a lot better than my old Nikes. People have told me Brooks makes the best running shoes. So far they are right.

I am 5'11", 165 pounds, and run 15 miles per week. I have high arches, mildly over-pronate on the left, but am straight on the right, I have narrow feet. These eliminated IT band pain on left. They provide excellent cushioning and stability through entire movement. These are great shoes overall.

Really nice shoe. Very good fit with great cushioning. Having been a Nike wearer all my life I was a bit skeptical but would not hesitate recommending them...even bought a second pair. I'm primarily a road runner and these are spot on.

Great shoes, specifically for those with narrow feet as the elastic band helps keep the upper part snug without being tight.

I'm new to running in the last year. I started with a pair of Asics I loved but had troubles with my legs and discovered I needed pronation support. Tried different pair of Asics, a Nike and a Saucony but could not find a pair I really liked. Bought these, put them on and loved them. Ran 9 miles - completely comfortable and knocked 30 seconds a mile off my time. Seem to make you run more on your forefoot. Great shoe!

Ran two half marathons and a couple of 5k's in the show. Even a 15K trail run (little slippery on the trail), but very happy with shoe and going to order my second pair.

Love these shoes. Tried the Glycerin in the past, but hated the rock-hard heel bed and clunky feel. These Ravennas seem to have the perfect blend of stability and decent cushion, in a relatively light package. The Nike Structure Triaxx is also very good, but the Ravennas seem lighter with a more foot-hugging fit. My mileage is up. Very nice!

Best running shoes I've ever owned. I like to incorporate sprints and hills in my jogs and these have all the support I need. Amazing buy!

Friend referred me to the shoe. Great feeling shoe and light. However, I am a moderate over-pronator and this was more for someone with a nuetral to mild over-pronation - in my opinion. Zappos great with exchange for adrenaline GTS - 11. Thx Zappos!

The Ravenna 2 was my first pair of Brooks. They are very comfortable and supportive. I run about 12-15 miles a week. I've already worn them in two races and they feel great on my feet.
