Crafted in lightweight mesh and synthetic, this kick is ideal for mild overpronators and features an adjustable arch and foot-conforming insole for a made-for-you fit. The variegated outsole delivers step-sure traction when you need it and extends up the toe and heel for added on- and off-road protection. Victory is sweet! In Runner's World magazine's Summer 2011 Running Shoe Guide, the Ravenna 2 was named Editor's Choice. In the June 2011 issue, Runner's World states, "Credit the shoe's winning combination of a nimble, low-to-the-ground profile and ample cushioning for heel- and midfoot-strikers. Even more impressive is how Brooks now scales the flexibility of this shoe according to gender and size making the smaller sizes less rigid in the forefoot than larger ones," adding that the fast feel belies the amount of corrective support it provides. "If you're looking for a single shoe for both marathon training and racing, this is it." The Ravenna 2 is perfectly tuned to the needs of mild overpronators, with just enough support and the addition of Brooks DNA to adapt to each step you take, for customized cushioning and energy return. The 3D adjustable arch saddle conforms to your foot for an ideal instep wrap and a caterpillar crash pad smoothes out the landing zone, moving your foot efficiently through the heel strike. Lace up and optimize your every stride. A faithful Adrenaline GTS wearer in the office confessed that she has "been cheating with the Ravenna 2" and she likes it. > See the Men's Ravenna 2Category: Guidance Weight: 9.0 oz Platform: Universal Contoured Construction: Strobel Launch Date: February 1, 2011
