Customer Reviews Brooks Ravenna 11

I've been wearing Ravennas since the Ravenna 2 or 3. LOVED them. They were great shoes, I could easily put them on right out of the box and go for a run with no issue. That is now the case with the Ravenna 11. I've only been able to make it a mile and a half on 2 occasions before blisters set in. This was never an issue with prior models. Checking reviews at the retailer where I was initially fitted for my Ravennas says this is a fairly common problem which leads me to believe it's definitely a change in the shoe design vs anything that may have changed with me personally.

They look nice but they fit really weird. Bought my normal size and it feels like my heal is sliding out. Tried a half size down but they felt too small. I wanted to like them.

My last Brooks Ravenna was the 9, which I LOVED. It was cushy, roomy, provided good support and stability. The 11, on the other hand, was much more snug in the toe box and top of the foot, and also has far less cushioning throughout (very noticeably so). One would think there might be some consistency with the exception of improvements on newer versions of the shoe, but this one fell far short of expectations. They got returned. I was so disappointed because I absolutely LOVED the 9.

I love the Ravenna - and have bought them and run races with them for years. But the Ravenna 11 is not up to par with the Ravenna's of the past. They have worn out faster than any other shoe. And after 6 weeks I'm searching for new shoes.

Love my Ravenna 10 but they needed replacing so ordered Ravenna 11. I tested them to walk the dog rather than a long run and thank goodness I did. Even though I sized up, they really hurt my toes and I had to send them back. So disappointed. I still need a new pair and unsure what to do next as I live Brooks.

The toe box was very low and I could not wear. My nails rubbed on the top of the shoe.

Omg, this is NOT a long distance running shoe! Not even a short distance running shoe. Not comfortable at all, no comfy support like older (much better) versions of Ravenna. Frustrating as this was a gift and I won't return. If you're looking for a running shoe, keep looking. If you're looking for a basic comfortable shoe, keep looking! Would give a 0 star rating if it would let me. :(

I have been running for a few years now and l have always purchased this shoe brand. Before owning the Brooks Ravenna 11's, I have owned the 9's and 10's. I usually love Brooks Ravenna's, however the inside of the Ravenna's 11 ripped within the first week of running in them. I have never purchased a pair of shoes where the mesh ripped so easily on the inside. I am so disappointed in how long the shoe lasted. :( My Ravenna's 9 and 10 they lasted for a very long time (with no holes) and then the Ravenna's 11 ripped within 2 weeks!!
