These were comfortable right out of the box. No breaking in needed. They feel lighter than my last pair. I have been wearing Ravenna 7's for the last few years, but finally wore out my last pair. (when I find shoes I like I try to get a few pairs, since I know designs change often). I decided to give these a try and so far I have no cpmplaints.

The fit was good & even though I did not like them as much as the Brooks Adrenaline I bought I decided to keep these as well. They are fine for shopping & casual wear on a daily basis. I felt they were not quite as sturdy as the Adrenalines are.

These are good solid shoes, and the look is great. Plenty of room in the toes.

Great shoes, but when I take a step they both make noise. Seems to come from where the soles are attached to the shoe. Getting louder every time I wear them which is annoying for an expensive shoe. I’ll been wearing Brooks for 15 years and never had the noise problem. Quality seems to be going down to keep them at a certain price point, sadly.

I loved these shoes. The style was lovely and better than the online picture. The fit was good and the over pronation thing was good. However, the right shoe squeaked every time I took a step, so I returned them. What is it with running shoes "squeaking" nowadays.

I've been wearing the Ravenna for years now and they never disappoint. They are always true to size, fit and color. I was a bit surprised at how light they were (that was a good thing). Comfortable from the first time I put them on.

Loved the feel and style of my old pair of Ravenna (they are blue). Unfortunately, they started tearing about four months after I got them, which I've never had happen with a Brooks shoe.
Would like to try another pair, but the colors are wretched. Cannot believe that you have designers who think the current color schemes are attractive.
Also, do ANY of your shoes have decent grip in the rain? Years ago, they did, but not anymore. You're in Seattle... make shoes that can handle wet pavement.

My choice was between these and the Ghost 11's. I ultimately went with the latter. I found the Ghost 11's to be ever-so-slightly more cushioning in the heel strike, and more appropriate for me as a neutral, not overprinting strider.

I have worn several pairs of Brooks, liking Launch 3 & 4 the best. Launch 6 were too wide, especially in the toes. So far these are the most comfortable since Launch 4. I have lots of major foot problems and I also walk 15-20 miles plus a week. I have a narrow heel and foot, so even though my toes are a mess I still need a fit between no wider allover than a medium. I don't like a sloppy wide shoe like their Launch 6 or 7 are. They are an attractive shoe too.

I'm always an 8.5 in running shoes (in any brand) but this was my first pair of Brooks, and I should've bought my regular shoe size 8. I love the shoe overall, it's just too big so I've purchased the 8 and am returning the other pair. Well made and good looking shoe and I can't wait to run in these.

I was excited to receive the Brooks Ravenna 10 in the gray/pink color combination. Brooks shoes just fit my wide, no arch feet so well and this shoe was no exception. Tons of room in the toebox, super cushion at the heel and moderate arch support. I don’t have great arches, so shoes with a lot of arch support make my feet hurt. I actually prefer shoes without super defined arches. I’ve been wearing these Ravennas for a little over a week now and while I don’t think they’d work for me as a running shoe (they aren’t as comfortable as my Brooks Bedlams or Ghosts), I do think they’ll make a great walking shoe. And they’re cute to boot!

Due to bunions as well as other foot problems I need a wide supportive shoe with cushion. I usually wear New Balance and Saucony but wanted to try this Brooks. I ordered a 7.5 wide and while it fit in length the shoe was too narrow.

I am searching for a Brooks' shoe that fits like the Adrenaline GTS 17. The Ravenna didn't offer enough support in the foot, and the heel is a bit too large. I have one foot that is much wider than the other, so fit is hard to find! I liked the looks of the shoe. If you have a medium width foot these should fit pretty well. I can't image running in them , however.

The shoe fit perfectly out of the box. I have flat feet and always have to order wides. The toe bed actually was actually wide so I don't expect any blisters. I only have about 6 miles in them so far but they feel great. The only thing I would change in the shoe was the back heel. I wish it had a small loop to make putting it on easier, but really thats minor.

These are really cute shoes, but they are really uncomfortable for running. It feels like I am running on cardboard. I rotate this pair of Brooks with another pair of Brooks. I don't look forward to the days that I am due to wear this pair.

Ordered usual 7M for Brooks. Fit was good. Style very attractive.
However not enough cushioning for me.

I have bought your Pure Cadence for years and really loved their fit. That being said, when it wasn't available I looked for an alternative. I love the look of the Ravens ,but the fit is not as good . It seems to be too big but my heel and toe fit correctly. The ball of my foot area seems very spacious making it feel like my foot can move around. The Pure Cadence seemed to hug my foot and these certainly do not. I'm not sure what to do for my next pair after this experience. Hopefully the Pure Cadence will come back.

I love Revennas but these don't seem to have the comfort I'm used to. The last couple pairs have not been my favorite. Maybe I'm just getting older and shoes don't have the same comfort. I like the color and I'll probably come back but may for another shoe.

I like the lightweight feel of these shoes. However, the arch support seems a bit off, and the guide rails technology seems to add foot pain where I never had before in previous models.

I've ran in the Ravenna for years now and LOVE them but with this one, my feet keep going numb as I run which has never happened before. I'm in the process of trying different tying methods to see if it helps but I'm fearing I'll have to buy another shoe even though I just bought these. I'm not sure if they have changed something (like how narrow they are) but pretty bummed so far.

I don't like the new styling as much as I liked the older ones, and hate the color options. The peach/pink shades are horrible; you would never use such colors for men. The fit and comfort are fine, which is really what's most important, but if I'm going to invest good money in running shoes, I don't expect to hate how they look.

After trying a few different types of running shoes, Brooks Ravenna became my go-to shoe beginning with Ravenna 2 through Ravenna 10; however, and this is a big however, the Ravenna 10 falls short of what Brooks has delivered in the past. The new design with a closer fitting foot is terrible as the "tongue" of the shoe is fixed in place with Ravenna 10 and I am now experiencing pain when running that I had not experienced previously, especially across my the top of my foot and even my knees. I thought something was physically wrong this running season and then I looked closer at the shoe to try and what adjustments I could make and discovered that the tongue placement was a part of the new structure.
Update Ravenna 11 with the standard shoe tongue, please!

I have weird feet and my standard has been the Nike Pegasus since the 28 model. I was pleasantly surprised by the Ravenna 9. (It was the first time I ever tried this model). The shoes were supportive but still felt light. I could use them for long runs but also thought they felt speedy enough to race 5Ks. I thought they were going to be the model I would alternate my Pegasus with. I can't explain it but the 10s just don't seem to meld with my feet as much. Sometimes they hurt my feet. I don't know if I just need to break them in more... I will still use them as a training shoe for runs 10 miles and less but I don't see them as a race shoe (5K to marathon).
