Great shoes for stability

5/5

Overall

I have used different Ravenna models for the past 5 years. I have found way less frequent nicks and pains in my lower legs with these shoes. Their durability is a little better than other shoes I have used (i.e. Nike) but obviously nowhere close to Hoka's (though their shoes appear to be substantial outliers).

Solid Everyday Trainer

4/5

Overall

I really liked the Brooks Ravenna 9, but on my really long runs (18+ miles), I noticed my feet tiring. The Ravenna 10's added the "Guiderail" for some added stability and support along the inside of the arch, right where I needed it. The shoe is still very light for a regular trainer, which I love.

Overall

A good shoe, I'm on my third pair in the line. My one complaint is that the mid sole breaks down too fast. Very comfortable upper, fits like a sock.

Overall

I love this shoe, I would say it’s comparable to Nike structure however it does not break down as quickly. They’re not too heavy and can be worn for tempos or longer fartleks
