Great shoe for flat feet, though I do have a Currex insole in mine. It's been a great seven months with this shoe and planning on buying the newer model for my next one.

All-purpose shoe with some pep. I can even run on technical trails thanks to all the rubber on the bottom.

Great feel for the road, light enough, good traction. Can really roll and still be supported.

Overall

Ravenna 5 fits a little bigger than previous versions, but it's still a great shoe that lands between cushioned and standard support. Ravennas cleared up a 6-month stint of plantar fasciitis for me, so I'm a devout convert now. Hopefully it will be popular enough model for Brooks to keep making.
