A solid lightweight shoe

4/5

Overall

While the ravenna 9 is a trainer it is lighter compared to the ravenna 10. It doesn’t have the most cushion but it has enough.

Overall

These shoes are great for putting miles on, but still have a lot of versatility for speed and trails. They last for a long time and the upper never wears out. They start to feel dead around 500 miles.
