I have this exact pair and color. It's my first pair of Brooks. I tell ya, I have been wearing the shoe until this one. My hip and back pain is now minimal. I now enjoy city hiking without the aftermath of pain I always experience (even if I stretch before a hours-long rigorous hike around the city). I plan to take up running again and purchase another pair. These shoes are by far the most comfortable, lightweight shoe I've purchased. I've never spent more than $40 on sneakers but the quality, fit, comfort of this shoe makes it well worth the investment in the long term for someone who loves to hike around and walk but can't due to hip bursitis and back problems (I'm only 35). Now I feel this shoe doesn't prohibit me from doing anything now! Final comment, for these particular shoe, I would go up a half size. I'm normally a 6.5 but wear a 7 in these and the fit is extraordinary. Just saying.

I have the Ravenna 2 and was excited to get into the 3. My R2 were an 8 and I knew I needed to go up half a size so my toes would not get bruised again running. I am in Asics Kayano 17 right now in size 8½. I am terribly disappointed that the R3 were tighter than my R2 I loved the R2, just needed that bigger size. I regrettably will be returning these an have purchased the Asics Gel Nimbus instead.

I'd also recommend: Brooks is #1...I love it! I will no go any other way.

I had been having shin splints and knee problems from running up until I got the Ravenna 2 last summer and I fell in love with them! Once those needed to be replaced there was no question that I was getting another shoe. The arch support is moderate (the Adrenaline has too much support for me and hurts my foot). These are even better than the Ravenna 2. The toes don't feel like they're turned up as much and feel a tad lighter. I also love the blue color. It looks much better in person. I won't even buy another pair of running shoes that aren't by Brooks, or most likely aren't the Ravenna!

Brooks Ravenna- great running shoe as always. Previous Ravenna wears beware. These Ravenna 3's run a 1/2 size big. This is my 6th pair of Ravenna's and I've never had to size down until now. These in an 8 fit the exact same as my 8.5's in the first two runs of the Ravenna.

I love the look of these shoes, but they run very wide and larger than other Brooks styles.

I love how these shoes feel, but unfortunately, they will not fit my feet well. When they are too loose, my heel slips. When they are tightened, I lose feeling in my toes. I tried adjusting the straps about fifteen times and they still would not fit right.
