Customer Reviews Brooks Ravenna 11

The shoes definitely run small. Sizing up a half size should do it. I took the advice of other reviews and did just that. The shoe is comfortable with moderate arch support and not firm and not too soft.

I'm trying to decide what to do with these. I LOVED my Ravenna 10s and was able to run in them with no problem straight out of the box. I ran about 3 miles in the 11s and now have blisters on the back of both heels. I have a pretty narrow heel, too. I compared them to my 10s, and there is definitely less padding on the inside of the heel in the 11s. Hoping they will break in, but I hate having to delay some runs/walks until the blisters heal.

I had an older version of these shoes (Revenna 8) that I loved so got these. No matter what I do they rub on the back of my ankles. I have to wear tall thick socks or bandaids EVERY time I walk in these or I get a blister. I mean like every time and I’ve been wearing them for months.

I am very particular about walking shoes. They must be comfortable, fit a wider forefoot, have decent arch support, and not be hideous. These shoes get it mostly right! They are very comfortable right out of the box - cushioned footbed, no weird lumps or bumps - and also require little to no breaking in. I wore them out around my neighborhood for a 1 mile walk and they were great. No hot spots, no weird rubbing, just comfortable shoes. They fit my feet well. I have bunionettes (bunions on my pinkie toe bone) and these are wide and stretchy enough to accommodate them. I like the colors - the blue and salmon are pretty together. I wish the soles were not quite so bright white, but it's a minor quibble. I would recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a comfortable mesh upper walking shoe.

Have only tried on. Have not worn yet

This is the third pair I had to try due to width issues. The width is better on these , but I am still finding some burning in my toes. I find the issue is the lack of cushion in the forefront of the shoe. Maybe this is the case with all running shoes , cross trainers are just not true wides when labeled so. I am keeping these , but not 100% loving them.

The Ravenna 11 is an extremely comfortable shoe for me. I find that the Brooks styles are kind of simple looking, not very stylish. However, comfort is the most important thing to me so I will continue to buy Brooks.

I love this shoe! The Brooks Ravenna 11 is almost perfect for my feet. I give the product 4 stars only because I think they skimped on the width and length. My foot is just shy of a true wide. I have periperhal neuropathy in my feet so the true wide is best, but the Ravenna 11 works for me. I always buy a size larger in running shoes, but for these the size larger feels more like a half size larger. My foot feels supported all around. The heel is not too much, so they aren't clunky. I have had these shoes over a month now and I find myself wearing them for more than just my running\exercise time. Brooks only offers a wide fit for this shoes in the Cornflower blue. Two things I wish: that Brooks would not change the Ravenna 11 AT ALL and that they would offer more colors in the wide width. I would definitely buy these again.

The material is soft and comfortable but I'm afraid my big toe will wear through the shoe quickly. (My big toes both turn up). I love Brooks, though, and this is my third pair. I had been wearing the Addiction 12 stability running shoe with advice from my podiatrist because of falling metatorsals. Unfortunately the design was changed on the new model.

Oh my gosh, the cornflower blue is *gorgeous*!! Unfortunately they're not quite as supportive and stiff (which I need for my achy feet/bunions) as the Brooks Addiction 14 or the New Balance 940. These also have a sleeker look as opposed to those two clunkers. Unfortunately, I need to go for comfort over looks. If you need moderate rather than max support, please get these so I can enjoy them vicariously!! ;)
