Women's Brooks Ravenna

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

I'm a moderate runner, 10-20 mpw, normal arches but neutral stride, slight underpronation. Found I do best with Brooks lightweight stability or neutral+ shoes, I've run in Illusion, Axiom, Radius (faves along w/Ravenna), and original Defyance. I'm going on my 3rd pair of Ravennas in a little over a year....so yes I love running in them, but I'm disappointed they seem to wear out quickly.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

Loving this shoe. Very mild stability, not comparable at all to the stability level in the Adrenalines that another reviewer pointed out. It is very light, good cushion without being too soft, and a great shoe for a midfoot striker who needs a bit of support.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

I LOVE these shoes, and I'm very picky about my shoes. They hug my feet. The heel is snug, and the cushioning is great. Have been running for nearly 20 years and have tried a lot of shoes across several different brands, and I think this is my new favorite. Shoes are the key to healthy running!

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

The shoe is very good and feels comfortable, but.....get it half size larger than you would for your any other running shoes!

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

Very useful for training and competition.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

the forefoot shape provides a quick and flowing toe off and the heel and arch cushioning is excellent! Great traction too! Definitely worth every cent-The best running shoe I've ever had!

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

I recently switched from the Adrenaline's to the Ravenna's and LOVE THEM!!! They are lighter and feel like I"m running on clouds. I do have inserts in them for arch support but they fit like a glove and my feet feel fresh even after a long run.
I have run on both a treadmill and the road with these shoes and the performance was great on both.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

Great training shoe for shorter distances. I would recommend this for someone looking for a racing shoe. I would recommend this for someone running shorter distances 10K, 5K. The only negative is that for longer distances it may not provide the support that is needed.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

The last on this has a nice forward roll making running up hills nice and smooth. It rises up to hug the toes which is nice for me. It's a little lower profile so you don't feel super high up, but it does not feel bare bones at all. I like this shoe for days when I want a more "solid" shoe but also lightweight. It has a nice light feel although it isn't necessarily lighter. All in all, this shoe is a great alternative to the Brooks Defiance and pairs up nicely in rotation with a softer, more flexible shoe.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

this is a great shoe. I had different pairs of shoes to run short and long distance in. I used to wear Nikes on my long runs but needed to find a new shoe to run in due to NIke discontinuing my shoe. found this one and now it's all I run in. short or long runs its by far the best shoe I have found. pavement, road, trail running it works great and lets your feet breath. You won't be disappointed.

After suffering from shin splints & terrible blisters off & on for years I was recommended to try these. With a low arch these are perfect! I have ran several 10k's & a few half marathons in these on top of training runs without a single complaint. The first pair is wearing out so I'm back to get a new pair!

I have been running for about 30 years and for many of those years I ran in Saucony. However, a number of years ago, I switched to either New Balance or Brooks because Saucony decided to change their design and it didn't feel comfortable anymore. The recent stretch was in Brooks Adrenaline which were great but I was bored with the same old, same old. I decided to change things up and tried Saucony again. Big mistake! My feet began to hurt after a week. I decided to go back to Brooks and decided what the heck, I will try the Ravenna. Best decision of my life! They have all the comfort and support of the Brooks Adrenaline with a little zip on push off. The lightweight design doesn't diminish its stability. I am hooked.

These are great lightweight shoes. Love them.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

Have worn Brooks for the last 5 years or so...tried the Ravenna for the first time....really like the Ravenna....nice training shoe!

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

I got these shoes yesterday. Went out for an 8 mile run. Fantastic! I alternate shoes, but I am tempted to just run in these for a while. They're comfortable and lightweight with good cushioning. To soon to say anything about its durability. I will buy more.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

This was my first official shoe purchase through Roadrunners and I couldn't be happier. The reviews were dead on, told me to get a half size bigger. Got the nine, put my foot in the shoe and have felt what a good shoe can do- provides me with enough support without being too heavy. My foot is comfy and not too tight and my knee and past itb problems are a thing of the past. Thus, giving me the confidence to continue my running- When I put this shoe on I sigh in relief. Now, I'm getting ready to buy my second pair.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

This shoe is great for shorter runs as it lacks the cushion for the longer runs. Great shoe for slight pronation. Very comfortable and light. Buy a size larger as they tend to run small.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

I suffered from shin splints, and the Aisics gel-1140 was recommended to me. They helped a bit (with added inserts), but felt too heavy and clunky for speed training. I switched to these shoes and absolutely love them! They give me the support I need while feeling light. The toes are upturned to help the stride not feel so clunky. A nice, smooth run. I would recommend these to anyone who is an over pronator and likes to run fast.

Comments about Womens Brooks Ravenna Running Shoe:

While this shoe looks great, it's doesn't fit well at all. I ordered a half size up, which usually works out really well with Brooks and my orthotics -- but it still feels like my foot is stuffed into it. My big toe is pushed up to the very front and I had to loosen the laces to the point where there's barely anything left to tie. I'm so disappointed because they look great - but my Adrenalines are much more comfortable.

As soon as I got this in the mail, I tested it and ran for 6 miles with no pain. Not only it looks great, but also it feels great! Love this shoe! I would buy another pair.
