Customer Reviews Brooks Ravenna 4

I work at a hospital and am on my feet for 8+ hours a day. These shoes are supportive, comfortable and allow my feet to breathe.

Great shoe. Runs like a half size small if used for longer runs. Great support and cushioning, but not too spongy like Saucony's tend to be. Perfect for half to full marathon or a everyday trainer.

11 year old daughter loves these shoes - excellent arch support. I would highly recommend.

I love Brooks as an avid "non" runner. Super comfy for those of us that don't really love having a big lump of arch support. I feel like I'm walking on pillows. However, forgot that they run really small even with a lot of room in the toe box. So off they go for one full size up.

I've gone through about 5 pairs of the Brooks "Ghost" shoes, bought this to try something new. It fits slightly different for me in the toe box than the "Ghost" - my toe spread is kind of wide. But it's not too narrow, and seems to accommodate my high arches as well. I can't comment on durability as I haven't had them long, only ran a few times (nursing a shin fracture here!), so I'm guessing they last as long as any other Brooks shoe as they are well-made. Comfortable padding but not too heavy, a good compromise between too minimal and too padded. Love the purple & yellow color combination!

These are the best running shoes ever! I finally went a local running store to truly get fitted for running shoes and these were suggested. Of course after coming home and looking on-line at Zappos, they were on sale so I grabbed them. My last pair were the Brooks Adrenaline GTS which I loved, but these are even better, at least for me feet! They come with an extra pair of laces - black, so I switched them out, the bright neon yellow was just too bright for me. Remember to order a 1/2 size up with Brooks. Try them, you won't regret it!

I recently had to make a change from the Brooks GTS family because the medial support wasn't quite doing the job anymore. I refuse to stray from Brooks. Hands down the best running shoe brand out there. I recommend the Ravennas to anyone from a brand new runner to a veteran of the running world. Excellent support for this over pronator.

I decided to try a new running shoe after being devoted to Nike Dual Fusion. I run 20-30 miles a week and have high arches. These shoes provided great style. I'm not a women who likes to where hot pink and prefer not to wear white running shoes as I run both on a treadmill and on trails. The stability was great; however, it did not provide enough arch support for me. After 4+ years of no pain while distance running. I started feeling a nagging pain in my left knee after the 1st 5 mile run. I thought maybe it was because the shoe was new and maybe I just needed to get use to it but the pain has continued and increased over these past two weeks. So I will being going back to Nike Dual Fusion and sadly try to see if maybe I can sell/gift these Brooks to someone in need.

Ran small, and I'm a size 12 street shoe so no size to move up to in this style. Aside from length, comfort was excellent, and support was as expected (this is not a highly structured shoe).

I love these shoes! They are very comfortable and they fit true to size. I usually wear an 8, but since I run I ordered an 8½ and they are perfect!

These are my first pair of Brooks and I love them! I use them for running on a treadmill and light weight lifting. They provide a lot of support and are very comfortable. Colors are bold and bright, but not overwhelming.

I have been running for over 10 years and have never felt completely comfortable in a shoe until I started wearing the Brooks Ravenna 4. They fit true to size, have excellent arch support and also hold up to the wear and tear of running daily.

I ordered these as a Christmas gift for my daughter, who lives in another state. This was my first time ordering from Zappos. They were shipped promptly and she loved the color of these shoes. She had accidently given me the incorrect size for the shoes (1/2 size too small); however, she said they actually fit fine and she is happy with them.

My daughter has ran cross country and track for the last five years. We have wasted a lot of money of many different brands of shoes looking for that perfect pair. She fell in love with the Brooks Pure Cadence for the last couple years, but they upgraded them and changed the fit. She hated the new Pure Cadence 2 shoes, so I started to look for a new style. She over pronates very mildly, so I needed shoes that will help correct this. The Ravenna has not only corrected the over pronation, but she is in love with them. She says they are better than the original Brooks Pure Cadence, so I purchased an extra pair just in case they decide to change them.

Oh so comfortable- like buttah. A steal for the price, especially the sale price. These are my first Brooks running shoes after years with other brands and I'm digging them. Solid arch support for my flat feet, too. The teal and green are bright, but totally appropriate for running shoes. The only downside is they run a half size small. I'm typically an 8 in running shoes but had to get an 8.5.

Finally a running shoe that fits! Very comfortable right out of the box. Great room in the toe, great arch support. I used to wear Asics and then Saucony but new models in both seemed to be smaller and tighter. Ordering a half size up didn't help because the arch support wasn't in the correct place. Ordered these Brooks based on the reviews and that they were rated the #1 running shoe. I am not a runner but daily I bike, treadmill, or do the elliptical and I have comfort now doing all 3.

I have a super narrow heel. These are just too wide and not quite enough support for me. Exchanging for Mizunos.

Have had several Ravenna 3s. Can't tell a difference before 3 and 4. If you liked the 3, you'll probably like the 4 as well. And I've gotten several compliments on the shoe styling.

I have been searching for a new shoe since I fell out of love with Asics. I tried the Brooks Adrenaline first and they had too much motion control for me. So far the Ravenna seems to work much better for me. These also have more cushioning in the toes than the Adrenaline. These are the closet to the feel of the Asics 2170 that I have found.

I bought these for my mom for her birthday and she loves them. I have tried them on and they are very comfortable. The blue and green color with black background is very cute. Brooks tend to be slightly more narrow in the toe than asics which does not work as well for me, but they are the perfect fit for my mom.

These sneakers are great! I have tried many and these are by far the best. I had two pairs of the Ravenna 3's prior to getting the 4's. I bought the cactus flower color and they look cool. They hold up to running with the right amount of cushion and support. They are not cumbersome like the Brooks Ariel. I tried to run in a Nike Lunar Glide, but there is no comparison, so I will be buying another pair of the Ravenna 4's. Just wish Brooks would come out with some more color combinations.

Love these shoes - super comfy and nice to work out in. Very stylish. I love Brooks this is my 4th pair. This style is similar to an Asics running shoe - also a favorite.

I love these shoes! I have fairly wide feet and my previous pair (a wide width size) was a little too wide. I got these in the regular width and they are perfect. Also the Ravenna 3 had a piece that rubbed my pinky toe and these shoes do not have that problem.
