Customer Reviews Brooks Ravenna 5

These are perfect for my feet! I have always had issues with running shoes hurting my ankles. These are awesome. I get a lot of compliments on them, too.

Very comfortable with maximum support. I use them mostly for walking and light running. I like them so much I wear them everyday for errands, keeping up with the kids, etc. Good for a medium to slightly wide foot too.

I have a messed up left foot: tendonitis, arthritis, plantar fasciitis & a bone spur + narrow heels. I put this shoe on & all the miseries of my foot left! Both feet were in heaven - like they had been made just for me by a masterful cobbler.

Second pair. I have achilles issues and I used to wear a minimal shoe...when I couldn't anymore. I tried these and BOOM....NO PAIN! LOVE THEM!

Love these sneakers. I walk about 4 miles every day. These are my second pair of Brooks and I am sure there will be many more. Only downside is the mesh top - in cold weather the cold goes right through! Might have to find a warmer pair for the bitter cold I know is on its way.

I was having some knee pain and went to a running store to be fitted about 7 years ago and they suggested brooks ravenna, I think 2 or 3. I have not changed since. I replace them every 400 to 500 miles and have had no problem at all. Last 2 pairs were ravenna 5. Great shoes!

Love these shoes! My feet are wide at the toes and more narrow through the arch and heel. I often have aching in my arches when on my feet for a few hours. These shoes have been great! They are so comfortable and I can be on my feet for several hours and have yet to have any problems with my arches. I'm a believer in Brooks. A friend recommended this brand and I couldn't be happier.

Love my new running shoes! Great fit, right out of the box. I have somewhat wide feet, but found these to be an excellent fit. I had my gait checked at a shoe store a while ago, and they recommended Brooks Ravenna (4, probably, because it was so long ago), but I held off because of the price. I finally bought these, and I'm glad I did! I've run on trails and pavement, and they've been good all around. The mesh upper means they let in the cold a bit when it's windy, so not ideal for the winter, but definitely not bad. Very happy with my purchase!

Arrived as promised. High quality shoe. Comfortable. Just what I expected.

I've been a big fan of Brooks running shoes since I made the switch a few years ago, and the Ravenna 5 is my favorite yet! Plenty of cushion, but it doesn't force your foot forward like some other shoes and it's a nice neutral footbed. The colors are awesome, too!

These are the most comfortable, supportive pair of tennis (running?) shoes I have ever had. I'm not a runner, but wanted to start walking for exercise and didn't have any shoes that didn't hurt after a little while. I ordered these, and a pair of New Balance shoes that were also recommended for over-pronators (I had to do some research before coming across which ones would be good for my big, wide feet). I got these in my true size, a 10W, didn't have to size up or down. They fit like a dream as soon as I put them on, and now I admit I'm wearing them out shopping and for anything where I have to walk a lot! I want to buy another pair just to have on hand for when these wear out. Another thing I love is that they really are cool. I live in Brazil where it gets very hot, but I'm currently visiting the US, where it's cold - well, I can feel the cold air breezing through these when I wear them. I can't wait for them to keep me cool when I'm out walking in the heat! Oh, and they're cute! Hey, it helps!

I went to a running store and got my gait checked, and they recommended these. They provide great support, they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, and this is my second pair. They are true to size, but I would recommend buying a 1/2 size larger if you are a runner.

I love these sneakers I am a walker I walk 4 days a week and average of 4 1/2 miles each time. They have plenty of support and lots of cushioning. And the toebox in the shoe is wide so plenty of room for your toes. I would definitely recommend these shoes.

Absolutely true to size. The most comfortable walking shoe I've ever owned. Beat my old Asics. Has a great arch support and I didn't even need to put my Spenco inserts in. Lightweight. I have extremely high arches and plantar fasciitis and these shoes really take care of both issues. Only wish they would offer more neutral colors in this shoe. Don't like the BRIGHT colors much, but hope Brooks does NOT change this fit! Zappos service as EXCELLENT as ever. Also purchased the leather Spenco womens slide and LOVE IT, but had to order from another store. Zappos, please carry more Spenco womens shoes, they are GREAT!

Fabulous, comfortable running/walking shoe with moderate support... not too little, not too much. Some of us who are past our 20s wish the colors were more muted!

Brooks Ravennas are the only shoes I run in! I love that they are providing more vibrant colors. The older version of the running shoe was quite bland. Way to step it up Brooks!

These shoes are remarkably durable, flexible, and comfortable given that they are so light in weight. I raved about them so much that my sister ordered an identical pair, which she loves.I use them for gym workouts. Since I am not a runner, I cannot evaluate whether or not they are adequate for that sport. But, for all-round work at the gym, they are very good.I would certainly consider a comparable pair when these wear out.

Love these shoes, they offer great support for my flat feet and have lessened the soreness I had on the ball and heel of my right foot from pronating. Super comfortable with no part of the shoe irritating my feet. Highly recommended, I will buy these again when this pair wears out.

I am a loyalist for Brooks running shoes...these are great! It's like you're running on pillows and they're very comfortable and I wouldn't buy any other brand!

Excellent running/walking shoe! I run 3 times a week and these shoes are gentle on the feet. Just enough space in the toe box, and gentle arch support. I also like the Books GTS.

Brooks fan for years, started with Adrenaline and moved to the Ravenna series. I am a movie runner but have been training form1st 5K for a month. These are comfortable while being very supportive.

I purchased these after having gone through 3 pairs of the Ravenna 4-- I LOVED the 4's and was able to literally run with them right out of the box. Not the case with these which was a little disappointing but not too uncommon with running shoes. The overall fit is comfortable--I had a slight issue with rubbing on the heel of the left shoe at first (which was why I had to "break them in" before running with them) but after walking several times in them they are great! Excellent support and cushion. Lightweight and I like the overall look! I am neither a pronator nor a supinator and just need a general stability shoe--these work perfectly for me for running.

This the first time I purchased Brooks. I jog/walk almost everyday & they are very comfortable. Plenty of room at the toe. Love the black and pink color. inserts easily removed providing room for my custom inserts without which support may only be moderate, but for someone not needing custom inserts, support might be ok.

This is the most comfortable sneaker I've ever worn. I love the color combinations too. I now own three pairs! Only thing I don't like is that they don't breathe really well, but they are light and very springy!
