I've worn Ravenna sine the first edition. Slowly things have changed. To me it seems the shoe wears out quicker. The tongue has changed on the 11s and my heel is not as secure. I like the flat shoe laces. I wish there was more fabric for toes as my big toe eventually wears a hole through the top of the shoe box.

Liked the shoes but they felt a little snug around my toes. I’ve never had to get Wide shoe sizes. It loosened laces so maybe that will help some.

This is at least my fourth pair of Ravennas. I prefer the previous models. The tongue on the 11's is quite narrow, which I think contributes to the looser heel (I have narrow heels and, yes, I do use the "extra" holes to tighten them up). I like the neutral blue-gray color. A bit more cushioning would be nice. Overall, quite a nice shoe.

I have flat feet with a tendency to roll inward. These shoes keep me from being flat without orthotics and the support is great. I hurt a little the first few days but I can tell my foot is already adjusting. I’ll be sticking with these but maybe get the adrenaline since they have more cushioning. Some people mentioned this shoe was wide but I actually have tons of room in it without sliding around.

They are comfortable and great for my hiit workouts but I feel like the fabric from the Ravenna 10 was thicker which helped prevent my feet from sliding around while working out.

I wore a pair of my sisters shoes and really liked the feel of them so I purchased the same style but a newer model
They were comfortable from the first time that I put them on i’ve been walking in them every day for two weeks
Absolutely no complaints!

I was looking for replacement shoe for the Pure Flow and Pure Cadence which nicely dressed y foot arthritis. This didn't do it. My foot hurt with first steps and an hour later. Returned. I can't comment on comfort for a normal foot.

I have been getting Ravennas for the last several models. I was disappointed at the continuing decrease in padding and decrease in tongue size. The fit is good, but there is a noticeable ridge at the arch.

I normally order size 9 normal width for the running shoes, but here size 8 seems like the right length. However, the shoe is very narrow. Feels a bit like wearing an ice skating boot. The toes are crammed. Sending back.

Wish I could return them, I absolutely hate them they’re killing my feet. This is the third pair I’m stuck with. There’s just not enough support in the forefront of the shoe. Very disappointed

I have used the Ravenna model for the last 6+ years and have always loved it. Never even look for anything differently. Just buy the new model whenever I need a new pair. Then, the 11 came out. Idk what they've changed but this shoe is not comfortable at all. Well, no it's not uncomfortable it's just not Ravenna comfortable. My foot felt tired right away. The shoes felt as if I had worn them down in a week. I ended up returning them and I'm still using my best up Ravenna 10 because they are more comfortable. Hopefully the 12 is back to normal.

I love the look of this shoe, but it's giving me blisters where the top of the back of the shoe rubs against my foot. With my previous Ravenna I was able to alleviate this problem by wearing higher socks. Those shoes got me through a marathon without a single blister or lost toenail. Wearing higher socks does not work with these new shoes which cause blisters even when walking.

i normally wear Brooks Adrenaline but tried the Ravenna because they were on sale. My advice is stick with what you know. I have already returned the sale Ravennas. The back of the shoes are too short. It felt like my socks were going down into the shoes and my heels were coming out of the shoes

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21.......worth the money!!

I wear the Ravenna 11 for walking. I usually wear orthotics however these are very supportive with my pronation.

Best Brooks yet. I have been wearing these running shoes for many years and have loved them throughout. This latest model is lighter than in the past and I was afraid a good thing had changed. Not so. While they are much lighter, they offer the same support and comfort and also feel like they have better cushion. Great, great shoe.

I love brooks brand and have had a number of styles. They’re very supportive but the aria and adrenaline are heavy on their own. The Ravenna is supportive but not as bulky and much lighter in weight. Got it as I gradually resume my Pickelball playing after meniscus surgery. Highly recommend. I always buy gym shoes a half a size larger than my street shoes.

I like Brooks because they seem to have a wide toe box. This shoe did not disappoint in that regard. I got these for riding my bicycle and they are perfect because they are lightweight, not at all clunky and they have plenty of shock absorption for those times when I have to spring off of my bike to avoid a collision with something.

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?
