A middle child to neutral and support, the Ravenna 4 is leading the charge for in-between feet. This season, this shoe is bringing a little more cushion, a bit more flex, and a whole lot of swagger with sleek design lines and fast colors. We've also honed in on midfoot capture and engineered a saddle that envelops the foot with an adjustable band. Not too Neutral and not too Support, the Ravenna 4 is juuuust right. Don’t take our word for it: Runner’s World® named the Ravenna 4 its "Best Buy" in the Spring Shoe Guide in the March 2013 issue. Their bottom line? "For the price, it’s awfully hard to beat this balance of features and ride."

Ravenna 4 is better than the Ravenna 3's but then again I ran in them once and threw them in the back of the closet. These shoes are still not as good as the 2's. Still a little too "high" feeling, the 2's seem to envelope over the top of your foot and you feel more secure. These are also more narrow in the toe box, feel a little unstable, and have given me some outside toe issues. I like the cushion in the fore foot and these are definitely an improvement from the 3's. Please just remake the Ravenna 2.

I run cross country and loved the threes, they helped my shin splints and I was able to PR while training in the shoes. When the fours came out I thought they would be the same but some of the changes sucked. They added a piece of synthetic leather where there used to be mesh, by the outside of the ball of the foot and during long runs it will rub and will become painfull, yet the wide is to wide. bottomline ditch the piece of material and put mesh back.

For myself the 2 - 3 times a week runner this is an absolutely great shoe. The support and correction I have needed but without the weight or bulk. Glad I found you at the Portland Rock N Roll Marathon Expo.

I have been running 25-35 miles a week in Ravennas for several years near, with one pair of Adrenalines tossed in there after the Ravenna 3's. Generation 4 Ravennas take me back to the great balanced shoe that was the Ravenna 2. Something didn't quite click with my feet on the Ravenna 3's, but the 4's have the perfect balance of support without feeling too heavy. I am also a huge fan of the green and yellow color scheme. The yellow shoelaces really pop. I don't know if the spec's page mentions it, but they also come with black laces if the yellow is not your style. Great shoe that I will plan to get a couple more pairs of.

I had to pair of the Ravenna 3's and I was a little concerned that they had been updated to the 4. I loved the green/yellow design and even my teenage sons thought they looked cool. One commented that I wasn't fast enough for these shoes (maybe true) but I endured it and took them out. I've had them on both treadmill and road conditions and can say they are better than the 3's were. I have less stress in my arches than before. Don't hurry with the 4's...OK?

Ran through a few pairs of Ravenna 3, Although the main difference is in the upper....the forefoot feels a bit more cushioned to me. I had a problem with the dynamic wrap on my right foot, so I sent them back and I can say the new pair is perfect. 7 miles out of the box with a great feel from the start.

Love these shoes. Very comfortable and responsive with good impact protection. I'd like to see them getting leaner with each new model as I try to work towards more minimal shoes. (but then they have the pure connect for that!) Overall a great feeling shoe.

I'm obsessed with this shoe. I had the Ravenna 3, and saw reviews that the Ravenna 4 had a bunch of improvements. Honestly, these definitely step it up to the next level - improvements I wasn't even really aware I had desperately needed to take my distance training to a new level. Also, hallelujah for some fun colors in a stability shoe!
My personal observation is that these feel just a smidgen wider than the Ravenna 3 - any more width, and I'll need to write a strongly worded letter to Brooks begging for a 2A version of this shoe.

I love this version and love the color. I know some people do not like the color but I like the fact that they are unique. I have owned every model of Ravenna's and felt last years model felt a little heavy. These fit perfectly. I love them. I ran 7 miles out of the box with no issues.

I've been running in Ravennas since for about 3 years (with one side trip in a pair of Asics...big mistake). I like the 4 over the 3, more bounce, but the same comfort. They run great and the fit is nice and snug without being cramped. I know that some don't like the colours on the 4, but I won't lie, the brighter (and yes, more obnoxious) green is a nice switch from the norm. I'll stay with these shoes for the foreseeable future!!
