3/5

Overall

Have always used Ravennas for years, but extremely disappointed with the 10’s. Pricing was consistently at MSRP on multiple sites ($109.95). The shoe was what I expected, but durability was an issue. Two pairs had the same issue with the mesh outer layer tearing above the brooks logo on the outer of the shoe. Shoe completely blew out within a week after tear started. Got about 45 days and 175 miles out of them.

Overall

The feel and fit of this shoe was great. It seemed to wear out a little faster than some, but not in a significant amount. Very solid middle-stability shoe.

4/5

Overall

Have just about worked my way through these shoes, with around 1000km on the clock. They have a great cushion, and very comfortable for both quicker short distances and longer runs. They do feel slightly bulky, however this is compensated for with the comfort levels. All in all a very good shoe, and would buy again.

Good Responsive Shoe

4/5

Overall

The Ravenna 10 is a good shoe, but not a great shoe. I like that it is lighter weight and still provides some support, however, I feel like it was too firm for me personally. I somewhat overpronate and found that the Adrenaline GTS work better for me than the Ravenna. That being said, I still had some good training phases in them and was able to leverage the Ravenna in many different types of running activities, like speed work on the track to long runs on dirt paths. I got about 450 miles out of the shows before I felt like I needed to retire them.
