How it ranks
The Brooks Ravenna 5 sits about average for daily trainers in our data. Durability and looks are its strongest sub-ratings. Cushioning scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 72 runner reviews and 7 other rated shoes in the Ravenna product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

“First shoe in 30 years of running where the midsole outlasted the outsole”
“Easily put 600 miles on first pair and didn't notice wearing down until the last 50 miles”
“The blown rubber outsole may be good for weight but is bad for durability—worn through in 320 miles”
“Very comfortable, plush but not too soft, fast and light enough to run tempos”
“Cleared up a 6-month stint of plantar fasciitis”
“Excellent combination of stability for a bit of overpronation, supercushioned for long runs”
“The model 5 wears down and tears on the outside of the pinky toe”
“Love the cushioning and stability, but this strap makes it feel tight over my feet”
“Ride is a bit on the firm side, but is still comfortable and indicates good durability”
“Enough stability and support with cushion without being a heavy shoe”
