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.

Not to happy, stitching in side of shoe rubbed on my little toe,had to wear corn pads, not as much cushioning as I was hoping for. I will not be buying this shoe again. Love Zappos fast shipping and service.

Don't think twice if you need a stability shoe! I had another pair of Ravenna 3's that I wore out, so decided to get the same shoe in a different color because the Ravenna 4's (the most recent model) weren't as pretty! I ran in Brooks Adrenaline before trying the Ravenna style last year and I loved them. I did have to size up in these from other shoes (including the Brooks Adrenaline style). I wear a 9 in the Ravenna and an 8.5 in Adrenaline. This is the best part...before I ordered this pair, I bought the latest/greatest Adidas Energy Boost shoe for $150 after trying it on in my local running store. I thought it was the most comfortable thing ever...until I ran in them, ouch! In less than 1 mile my ankles were killing me and I had never experienced anything other than shin discomfort from any shoe in the past. So, I realized I really do need to stick with the "stability" of the Brooks. I immediately boxed up the Adidas for return and ordered these Ravenna 3's and after the 1st run I told my husband to kill me if I ever decided to stray from Brooks in the future. So...you should get these, stylish and stable!

Bought the Ravenna 3s after having ankle pain due to mild over-pronation. I tried them on along with the Adrenaline GTS 12 and 13, and the Ravennas were definitely more comfortable. Rather than order a size up, I took my athletic trainer's advice and ordered my usual size, 7. I'm glad I did - they fit perfectly. I have a slightly narrow foot, so I think they would feel small for a wide-footed person. I've been wearing them for a month now, and they instantly cured my ankle pain and over-pronation. There is enough support and cushion without being "too" much. I also love the black with yellow trim - they look great!

These shoes are very comfy. However, they run small. I always wear a size 10. But I had to exchange these for a 10.5 because they were not long enough. The tread on the bottom is great. Will definitely buy another pair once I wear these out!

Good shoe. Accommodated my insert. Stayed looking good 'til the bitter end. I noticed the heel and tongue were particularly comfortable on this shoe.
