Customer Reviews Brooks Ravenna 9

I have worn Ravennas for years, averaging 15-25 miles a week in them. The last model that I liked was the 7s, the 8s are really narrow through the toebox and I lost feeling in my foot just trying them on. Head the updates to the 9s made them wider in the toe box but they are not the same still too narrow for me to comfortable run in.

Love this shoe! The tops of my feet are wide width and these have enough room that running is very comfortable.

I've had a few pairs of Ravennas over the years, and this is my second pair of Ravenna 9's. I don't wear them to run (I'm obsessed with Newton running shoes) but I wear them for every other workout: trips to the gym, long walks, bootcamp and crossfit classes, and I absolutely love them. The stability is great - not so much that I feel like my step is being "corrected" and not too little that my arches are achy after a long day on my feet. I highly recommend these!

I overpronate and theses are the best stability shoe I have tried. I typically run 20-30 miles a week and have had no pain since I got these. I had an older version and briefly left Brooks to try a New Balance stability shoe and ended up having to ice my ankle after every run. I have also had Brooks Ghosts and they were comfy but not quite enough for my ankle. I ordered 1.5 sizes larger than my street shoes to allow for swelling when running.

Finally, the perfect shoe! Fits true to size but the amazing thing for me is the combination of cushion and spring. I’ve never had a show that helps spring me forward when I run and they’re perfect. I immediately noticed that I wasn’t getting shin splints because the springiness allowed me to not fall too far back on my heel. Overall amazing shoe!

Fit and style - perfect! I'm not a runner so I can't attest to the performance but these are great for walking. Accommodating for a bunion also.

These are great. I wear 7.5 Wide and these fit well. I did have to loosen the laces a good bit to make them fit. If you are an extra wide these may not work for you. I need shoes for overpronation. Normally I don't care for Brooks as they are heavy and stiff. These are much lighter and more flexible than the usual Brooks overpronation sneakers. The navy color is attractive.

I needed new work shoes and when I asked a co-worker what kind of shoes she had (they were ridiculously pretty) and whether she liked them, she said they were Brooks and that they were very comfy even at the end of her shift. After poking around and a bit of a mix-up, I decided to give these a whirl. Our floor at work is essentially concrete and it's awful. My job involves at least two hours of basically standing around and then the rest is walking here, there, and everywhere. For the first three or four hours, the shoes and my feet are fine. Alas, that's only half my shift. When walking, they feel like a dream but the standing and the concrete are doing them no favors. Also, when I first tried them on, I had to literally double check to make sure they were the right size and width. If you have wide feet, you are definitely going to need to fiddle a fair amount with the laces because these aren't the widest shoes ever. On the plus side, I've gotten a fair amount of compliments because the navy/blue/green combo is lovely.

I've not worn Brooks before, but I'm really happy with this running shoe. It's supportive without being too heavy. The gray is nice and neutral, but the flash of color keeps it from being too boring! The fit is as expected -- I wear between a 9 and 9 1/2 in a normal shoe, and almost always a 10 in an athletic shoe. I ordered the 10, and it's a perfect fit.

I don't usually wear sneakers but needed these to workout on treadmill. M doctor recommended this brand so I trusted her. Wow they are a winner. I also would recommend to anyone! SP

Loving these shoes so far! They’re stylish, NO pink, and very comfy.

They are extremely comfortable!

Thr fit and feel was perfect. I am on my feet most of the day and walk/run about 7 days a week and my feet do not get tired or sore and my knees do not bother me at all. Thr perfect shoe for me. And my husband liked the style so much, he wants a pair of the men's Brooks. Bonus, in our hot climate, the mesh shoe keeps my feet cooler... big plus here.

I loved these shoes so much this is my 2nd pair. 1st pair from 5 months ago are still great, but I wanted a 2nd before the style changes. They fit great, just enough support to protect heels after previous plantar fascias last year. I walk at least 12 miles a week - 25 miles on a good week. I would obviously buy them again ... I did :)

I tried on so many shoes, thanks Zappos, and these fit the bill. They are so comfy for my mild over pronation.

Comfortable running shoe. I need a wider toe box, and this one fits the bill. I wear a 6.5 in a regular shoe and ordered a 7.5 in these. Perfect.

This is my nine-year-old's third pair of these. Comfortable, great width in the front, good for lots of walking on city streets.

I have the 7 in this same shoe and this model is a lot less bulky.

Love these shoes! I get the wide ones so my toes have plenty of room. Love the color and the style.

Bought these from Dick's a year ago. Loved them Time for another pair and couldn't find except on Zappos. Bought two pair just in case they go away. Great support. Very comfortable. My knees feel much better wearing these.

Great shoe. I last purchased the Ravenna 8 and loved them. These were comfortable from the first wear and are true to size and width. I have no issue with the toe box as being too narrow.

These are outstanding. First pair of Brooks, and as I am working towards becoming a better runner, these are like running on a cloud. Highly recommend.
