Brooks Men's Ravenna 11 Running Shoe

Product Information

Here’s where it get interesting: The shoes are the same width at the toe-end of the laces, measuring from where the upper attaches, and when the material is smashed flat, the half-size bigger Ravenna is .1 mm wider than the DS Trainer 24.

The lightweight mesh upper allows air in and promotes constant ventilation which makes running in the summer heat a total breeze. It also helps to keep the inside of the shoe cool and free from moisture for a clean interior environment.

Brooks Ravenna 11 First Impressions

The shoe looks and feels light and airy, and that is just what you will experience from day one. Conclusion All applicable customs and import duties and any other charges are the responsibility of the customer. This method of foot guidance works for me, and it allows for a lighter shoe as well, from those with extra bulk in the midsole. Speaking of weight, the 11 is .4 oz. lighter per shoe than my half-size smaller in Ravenna 9.

SPECS

Ravenna is the lightest, sleekest stability offering from Brooks, comparable to the neutral Launch but featuring the latest version of Guiderails® Holistic Support System. I know going up was the best choice as smaller would have pinched at the ball of the foot. To explain, I’ll compare size 10 in Ravenna 11 to size 9.5 in the ASICS Gel-DS Trainer 24. However, I wonder if there is room for a bit more cushion throughout the forefoot, especially. Weight to wish for! Brooks’ signature BioMoGO DNA cushioning makes up the midsole to ease pressure on the joints. This cushioning is also made from eco-friendly materials that decompose after its lifespan is complete. The Brooks Ravenna 11 weighs 266g - lighter compared to other stability running shoes (average weight: 297g). It may not be as light as a neutral racing shoe, but it is a dream considering the stability and comfort it offers - a unique combination to find!

Delivery timescales are esimates in working days; Public Holidays, Saturday's and Sunday's are NOT classed as working days. That’s helpful to know for next time, but I had no complaints about my first run in Ravenna 11. Repeated miles brought my fit issues more to the forefront. Let’s link (virtual) arms while “running in step” and get through this. Keep making the world a better place, runner friends (even if that means by distancing)! Blown rubber on the outsole is abrasion-resistant and durable yet springy. It is paired with flex grooves on the sole to provide a flexible platform for versatile movement.

Brooks Ravenna 11 Price Comparison

I have been comfortable running in the Brooks Ravenna 11 since day one. The weight (266g) and heel-to-toe drop (10mm) both fall on the lighter to moderate side of things, providing for a wonderful ride that makes you wonder just how this is a stability shoe in the first place. Further, between the Ravenna and DS Trainer, the DS is snappier, but the Ravenna combines more cushion (to a still responsive ride) with an outsole that banks outward from the upper more than the ASICS. Its uses extend beyond jogging and running, this pair is also suitable for walking and daily use so wearers can enjoy reliable comfort no matter where their day takes them. It is available in regular and narrow widths for both men and women to accommodate the needs of those with broader feet. Upper The first thing I noticed when taking these out for a spin is quite simply, I felt fast. If you are a fan of ASICS’ Flyte Foam, you’ll be into the familiar firm yet springy feel of the Ravenna 11’s BioMoGo DNA midsole. That on top of a bouncy all-rubber outsole makes for an energetic rebound that’ll keep you going on even your toughest training days. And, if you’re worried about the GuideRails technology feeling too supportive, don’t fret! The guidance they provide is low-key, enough so that even neutral runners will find them unobtrusive while running. WHO THEY’RE FOR: A trail 5k through the snow was my first run in these lightweight shoes (with some ice cleats slipped over the tread), and the minimal upper plus stable base performed well.
