Brooks Ravenna 11

It's my first day trying out these new shoes and these are good shoes. It seems pretty durable enough to withstand any standard warehouse work. I'd recommend it for anyone who actually cares about doing Amazon type warehouse work as quickly as possible. Although, only do it if you care. In warehouse work environments your paid by the hour, so their really isn't any incentive to finish it quickly, unless you want to head home early. The shoe is pretty pricy for the price tag, but it's well worth it for people with flat feet, as your going to saving a ton of money in future medical bills from wearing the cheaper shoes that aren't friendly towards flat feet. The general rule for shoes that I follow is that the more expensive the shoe, depending on what kind of brand it is, the higher quality it is. You may or may not be able to purchase these shoes from Nordstrom Rack for a steal, if you want wait for a long time. I honestly wouldn't take the chance, because of Amazon's new Delivery Pickup feature where you can pick up these items from a Whole Foods Market grocery store near you. Thus, you don't have to pay for the extra cost of shipping. I wouldn't normally buy shoes from Amazon otherwise, because the Delivery shipping option is the biggest red flag that I would be looking for. Amazon's high shipping costs is a real pain to pay these days. Can't help it if the US government taxes for shipping though among a variety of other factors. Conclusion on the purchase: Buy these shoes if you want to avoid the risk of getting medical problems arising from wearing poor quality shoes. There are some things in life you just can't cheat on. Shoes would be one of them. There are plenty of other shoes in Amazon's e-commerce website that you can purchase from with similar quality, so don't fret if you don't want these shoes. There are plenty of fish in the sea, when it comes to purchasing shoes. Purchase this shoe from Amazon for the sake of expediency, if other retail stores don't offer the shoes your looking for. Their going to be one of the first 9/11 backup companies to purchase products from, when inventory for a particular item is dry. In my opinion, it's not worth spending 30 minutes to an hour mulling over the cheapest price tag to purchase a high-end shoe, unless you have nothing better to do with your life. I would recommend the buy from Amazon, if you can't find it anywhere else. FYI, if you buy shoes from Amazon, don't forget to buy shoelaces from Amazon too. If there is one inconvenient truth I've learned it's that Amazon is your lord and savior when it comes to selling shoe laces. I've hunted for shoe laces for the past couple of years and I've grudgingly accepted the fact that I've had to like purchase shoe laces from Amazon 90% of the time. I don't know why, but Amazon is just a company where shoe lace sellers feel comfortable selling shoe laces. Don't ask me.

Switched from the Adrenaline’s, another Brooks support running shoe. The Ravennas are so much better if you don’t need tons of support. They are comfy and lightweight, and aren’t too springy or dense. Arch support is just right for my low arches. My run times have already improved since they’re so lightweight compared to the Adrenaline’s. Fits the same as my Adrenaline’s, too. Don’t recommend buying online though unless you know your size in Brooks running shoes. Better off buying in a store first then re-ordering online for convenience.

Love these shoes! Took them out for a 6 mile run & they held up wonderfully. No blisters, no shin splints and no runners knee :). I’d say size up because the toe box is kind of small. I did order a half size up and they work a lot better. Besides that, they felt great.

I bought these for my husband. He is gingerly breaking them. He said they are comfortable. So I'll take him at his word!

I have purchased this brand before because they are the one only offered by the merchants who came to our worksite and was little bit apprehensive because of the price and the brand is not known to me. I have foot issue, burning sensation, I have to adjust my size to wide and very few stores offers 8W, so it's difficult for me to find them. My foot problem did not go away but at least it reduced the burning pain I am feeling. Anything I can get to reduce this foot pain I will gladly welcome.

I wear brooks to work and fir running. I bought these for work as my previous pair hit their limit (almost two years!). I’m a nurse and need to have good shoes for standing and walking on hard floors. These are very comfortable with a roomie toe box. They git nice but look slimmer than my last pair of brooks.

I'm writing a second review, this time giving these shoes 5 stars. My first response after wearing them to run in was they felt too narrow, But since I have put about 30km on them and they fit perfectly. I have worn them walking and running on street pavements, on a sandy beach, and on a rough mountain trail with rocks and pebbles of all sizes. Though they are lightweight, they feel stable and sturdy.

I’m confident to step set out on a five mile walk that this shoe will perform up to my standards. After I lace this shoe up I can feel the stable and crushing comfort that hold me on the balls of my feet. Supports the arch in place and my heels strike whit support and padding in a heel to toe movement. I feel that I’m ready to go.

Si cammina veramente bene, ed il supporto per l'arco plantare per cui le ho scelte funziona egreggiamente.

I owned about 15 pairs of Ravenna shoes starting from Ravenna 5 to 10. Every version was a bit different, my favourite was 10. I bought Ravenna 11 and first took it for a walk. After about 40 minutes my only thought was when can I take these shoes off. It rubbed my toes soo much, that after an hour of walk my toes were completely red. I bought the same size as before, but Brooks changed the shape of the shoes in this version significantly, it got very narrow and uncomfortable. I'm so sorry about this, because I liked Ravenna shoes very much, I ran several marathons in the earlier versions, apparently I will need to look for other shoes now. If you liked Ravenna 9 or 10, I don't recommend to buy Ravenna 11.

Great Product & Service

Good trainers...a little narrow on the midsole
