Customer Reviews Brooks Ravenna 11

Great show. I bought these as a replacement for my Asteria shows since I didn't see Asteria available anywhere. Even though they are heavier than the Asteria, they are similarly supportive. These are good if you need some pronation control and support but still want a lighter shoe. I use these for sprints and the Adrenaline GTS for longer steady pace running.

I've been running in the Ravenna style for years. This one feels a little more comfortable than the 10, and I like the change in the tongue so it doesn't get trapped beneath the sides at the top. Seems a little more sturdy over the big toe area ( mine tend to wear thru there).

The perfect shoe for a 5-7 mile runners daily weekly but can go up to 10 miles. It can be used for long distance or speed. The shoe feels fast and almost not a feeling of not feeling when wearing it. It is light, durable. Can be used in different surfaces. Congrats Brooks on creating an amazing shoe.

Very good support and comfortable to run in at different paces, weight is very light as well. I've tested the Adrenaline and PureCadence models before and the experience is very similar.

Stable, can wear every day all day. Walker not a runner.

They are nice shoes with good arch support. They have a good nutral color required for me. They also feel like you are running on a cloud.

I have consistently bought the Ravennas for my go to training shoes for cross country sense the Ravenna 9. I absolutely love the way they feel and perform when you run. The support they give for how light they are is something I have found to be unique to these shoes. I have never experienced any issues with them braking of ripping until I have put a substantial amount of miles on them. I am currently on my 3ed pair of the 11 and 5th pair over all. My only request is that Brooks shows a bit more love to these fantastic shoes and offer more colors and patterns for people to choose from like they do with the ghosts.

These are my second pair of Ravenna shoes. I still have my Ravenna 7 but they are starting to wear out. These are the only shoes I can wear all day and my feet don't hurt. I am not a runner. I wear these just as my walking shoes and also in the gym and they are wonderful.

This is my third pair of Ravenna runners, and they're so comfortable and for me most importantly they breathe. They also take a lot of abuse. I use them not only for street running, but also in the gym for lifting. They're great in both uses. I'll keep buying them as long as Brooks keeps the design just like it is...excellent shoes!

Having been an brooks ID / Ambassador for over 7 years I have tried many of your shoes, this one simply is the best lightweight distance trainer I have ever run in over my 25 years of running competitively. Thank you for making an awesome partner to training!

Enjoyed about 50 miles of running in these so far. Exactly what I'm looking for in a daily trainer- perfect amount of support, just enough cushioning, and good energy return. I hope to stick with the Ravenna 11s for a while.

So far, so great. Shoes are light but supportive. A little squeaky but maybe a few more miles with shut them up. Definitely happy with my choice!

My husband loves these shoes, buys them every time

Ravenna 11 is a huge improvement (at least for my foot) over prior models. In prior models I would have to tighten laces to point where two sides of top were touching. Model 11 improves shoe design so I only tighten laces moderately, leaving tongue showing between two sides of shoe. Lastly, type of laces is also an improvement. Prior Ravenna laces were tubular style. Model 11 brings flat type of lace which handles much better!

I love these shoes. I was a little worried at first because of how attached to the Ravenna 10s, and I even bought a pair of 10s just in case. I didn't need them. These shoes are amazing, whether it's a 10-mile run or 2-mile run. If it's a threshold run or light, relaxed day, these shoes make my sessions go by quickly. No sore feet, helped even out my impact, and I love the color.

I have not ran with the shoe yet but my experience with my other Ravenna's has been very good!

For me, these were a great choice. I had been running on generic tennis shoes and what a difference! The heel cushion has a bit of rake which leans you into your run. I also like the partial elastic shoe laces - great idea! I enjoyed my run today and I hate jogging. Good product.

Very comfortable, I run in Brooks exclusively, I bought these as a walking shoe and backup to my daily runners which are Glycerin's. Very comfortable.

I've worn Ravenna models for more years than I can remember. To be honest, in prior years I didn't notice much improvement from one model to the next. Ravenna Model 11 is a game changer! Model 11 fixes two items which have bothered me in the past: - Prior Ravenna models required tightening laces to the point where there was no gap on top. Two sides of shoes would almost touch on top. - Prior laces were tubular and way too long. I would have to braid laces into multi knots to eliminate loops which may cause tripping. Ravenna Model 11 finally sizes correctly for width of my foot. Laces are now flat style instead of tubular, which are much easier to handle!

The Ravenna is a reliable go-to shoe for my twice weekly speedy runs. Great motion control and it keeps my landing and alignment steady

Have run in several pairs of Ravennas and really liked the Ravenna 9's. Used for fast training and racing from 5k up to the half marathon. I had some reservations about the 11's new guiderail system and cushioning. I prefer stability shoes with medial posts and firm reliable cushioning. The 11's surprised me. Very similar to the 9's. The arch height is significantly higher in the 11's, which will take some time to adapt to. Sizing is spot on. Very secure in the heel and midfoot, with a nice tight racy feel. They perform as I've come to expect from this model. Stable, firm, fast, and light. Great job, Brooks!

While I am not a runner these are the best walking shoes I have worn. I have wide flat feet and for some reason get blisters on the ends of my toes with most shoes but not these.

I'm loving the 11s. Ive ran in the shoes since the 6s. I love the new shoe laces. I was skeptical of them but the elastic nature of them keeps them tied and they seem to be superior to the laces of the 6s-8s. I'm hoping that the life of these shoes easily go past 500 miles like the 6s. I love the stability of the 11s, I think it's the best ever and it far surpasses the stability of the 8s -10s. For the weight, you cannot beat the Ravenna 11. The best Ravenna ever.
