I love the shoes. Like everyone else I have problem feet and need firm soles to support the ball of my foot. These shoes work great.

From the minute I put this walking shoe on, it was awesome. Typically I wear a shoe around the house for a few days to make sure I know where all the trouble spots are...but after 2 hours in my house. I hit the streets. this shoe is excellent.

MUST Order wide for a regular non wide foot. If you truly wear a wide all the time then this brand is not for you. Wide = normal width - I would say they are normal not wide. The reason i ordered these as wide is because of my arch support needed and also because I tried a pair on already at a local sporting good store and knew they were normally narrow (the non wide ones). The wide fit perfect with no room to spare very snug. I haven't used them long enough to tell if they support my high arch but they are snug all around.

Loved these shoes immediately upon putting them on my feet. I am having heel pain and needed a good cushioned shoe. My feet feel so good in these shoes and I'm able to continue running and walking without pain. Thinking of buying another pair before they change to the next design.

This is my third pair of Brooks Ravenna. They are my go to running shoe. I have a wide foot and these are perfect. My only complaint is that they are always so bright and flashy. I would prefer a more subtle color scheme. But for the comfort and durability, I'll take it.

I've had the Ravenna 7s for about 3 weeks and wear for strength training, HIIT, and Group Fight (MMA inspired cardio group exercise class). The toe box seems a bit more narrow than the last Ravenna model I owned (Ravenna 5) However, I was primarily running long distance in that pair. Overall a great shoe and have received many compliments on the aesthetics. I'm personally hoping they loosen up with more wear. Fit is true to size.

This is a beautiful shoe and very comfortable. I went up a half a size and I'm glad I did. I hate it when my toe hits the end. The only thing I don't like about the shoe is that it looks wide and makes my size 91/2 foot look big!

These shoes were recommended by my podiatrist due to high arches and cushioned support. These shoes deliver on both. I bought the medium width with a little hesitation since I typically require wide width, however, these are perfect. These color was spot on and I am very pleased with my purchase.

nice shoe. Was wide enough, although needs to be ordered 1/2 size up from usual running shoes size. I wear an 8 1/2 shoe, and a 9 in saucony running shoes but need 9 1/2 in the new Brooks shoes. I found there was not enough stabilization for over pronation problem. . It felt as though foot/shoe was leaning inward slightly. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 16 or Saucony Omni 13, 14 or 15 are better for this, in my foot's opinion

The sneaker was comfortable enough, but it was really big in the toe box (and I have a fairly wide foot). I need more support in the toe area and these were all mesh. I'm going to the try the ASICS with more leather up front in hopes that it will keep my toes from wiggling around.

I have always ran in Brooks Adrenaline but wanted to try something different with good support. These were a nice change! Felt great and good colors to choose from. I would highly recommend Brooks brand!

I usually take a 10 but only after wearing thesis for a week and ½ did i realize in this style i really need a 10.5.
because once you wear them you cannot return to zappos (past experience) I am riding out the storm.
I lace them very loosely and just wear them around not for any long distance walking or exercise.
Also there is some white webbing sewn on the inside of the shoe where the laces start probably for reinforcement, it rubs terribly on the top of my foot red marks and all. hence the loose lacing and just wearing around.
good points my orthodontics fit nicely with no problems and my heel stays secure in the shoe, and feel a good difference with this shoe compensating on the pronating in of my feet in addition to my orthoitics. :)

This shoe looks very nice, love the colors. However, I buy this brand cause I have plantars fasciitis, but this pair the arch sits funny.

I like Ravenna 6 better!
The 6 has much better cushioning around the top of the heel which is much more comfortable for someone who has narrow heels.

I was looking forward to this sneakers, based on the reviews;however, it didn't work for me. I felt the support in the heel area; however, the sesamoid area; below the big toe of both of my feet hurts tremendously; felt no support in that area.
Because of that, I have to return it.

Comfortable, but I didn't feel these had much of an arch at all! The cushioning was good but tried them out for about an hour and could feel my arch sink. I usually wear an 8 in running shoes and these felt a bit long.

The Ravenna 7 seems to run shorter and wider compared to past versions of the Ravenna. It was too short and wide on me, so back it goes. The Ravenna has been my go to shoe for the past several years, so now I'm in search of a new running shoe.

They're flimsy. They started losing their shape in 3 weeks; and now, six weeks after I first put them on, I'm going to retire them. I love Brooks, but not this style.

I have worn Brooks for over 10 years! I was really disappointed with the way the Ravenna 7 fit. I have purchased Ravenna several times in the past always wearing an 8.5. This particular pair, orders as a n 8.5, fits a full size bigger. I have no issues with Zappos. They don't make the shoes. However, when I called the Brooks customer service line, the representative I spoke with was very unapologetic. I felt she thought I was looking for a freebie. I have made note the Ravenna 7's run big. It's a great shoe, just very unfortunate that I spent over 120.00 for a shoe that doesn't fit well.
