cushioning
Hydroflow ST is located in the heel and is a cushioning device which consists of a chamber filled with viscous fluid. Hydroflow ST is designed to attenuate shock, dampen impact forces, and provide added heel stability. Forefoot Hydroflow is located where the metatarsal head region of the foot rests in the shoe. Forefoot Hydroflow is designed to attenuate shock and dampen forces.

midsole

BioMoGo is Brook's premium midsole material. BioMoGo is designed to offer resilient cushioning and extends the full length of the midsole. BioMoGo is also environmentally friendly, as it will biodegrade 50 times faster in a landfill compared to traditional foam midsoles.
Diagonal Rollbar (DRB) is located at the midfoot and is a dual density BioMoGo construction which is desgned to reduce excess pronation.
DRB Accel is located at the bottom of the midsole in the midfoot. DRB Accel is an injected thermoplastic polyurethane unit which is intended to balance support and torsional rigidity with responsiveness for smooth and fast heel-to-toe movement.
Stable Pod Configuration is a midsole/outsole design pattern intended to set the foot up for an efficient, balanced position from heel to toe. The focus of this design is on stability and responsiveness.

upper

Air Mesh covers the upper and is a breathable mesh that allows heat to escape.
Synthetic Overlays are strategically located with the purpose of providing a secure fit.
Element Linings lie along the underside of the upper to aid in moisture transfer and comfort.
Profile Sockliner sits underfoot and is made of BioMoGo for cushioning and forms a contoured support sensation.
Cushole S-257 Last utilizes a full length layer of advanced foam to provide cushioning and flexibility.

outsole
HPR Plus is a form of high abrasion-resistant rubber and is located in the heel. Blown Rubber is located in the forefoot to provide responsiveness and flexibilty. Stable Pod Configuration is a midsole/outsole design pattern intended to set the foot up for an efficient, balanced position from heel to toe. The focus of this design is on stability and responsiveness.

feedback for Brooks Ravenna Men's Shoes Rd/Wh/Ye:

Comments: Great shoe. This is my first time running in Brooks- I'm a long time Mizuno fan. I love the ride on the shoe and I feel like it really propels me forward with each step I take. I was concerned that it wouldn't have enough support for longer distances (full and half marathon), but it holds up well after a 10 mile run... I haven't raced a half or full marathon in them yet, but I have high hopes!

Comments: I was looking for a lighter trainer, so I went from the Asics 2140 to the Ravenna. After the first run I noticed increased pressure on my calves due to the shoe's curved toe structure. I will continue to use them for track work, but not for longer runs.

Comments: I am a heavy runner at 210 lbs. I have neutral pronation on the left foot and a bit of over-pronation on the right. Normally I use the Trance or Nimbus, but not I mostly use the Ravenna. The shoe has the right amount of cushion for LSD, Tempo Runs or easy trails =). I really must force myself to use other shoes... After 200km, I cannot complain about the durability. For me, this is the perfect shoe.

Comments: The shoes are awesome. I run XC really hardcore and these shoes are great trainers. I recommend them to anyone who wants to perform to their full potential.

Comments: This is my first time in a Brooks shoe (I usually run in Asics or Nike) and I love this shoe. It really makes you feel springy and the forefoot cushioning is great. I feel like this shoe helps my turnover even when I'm running easy. The shoe is also great for someone who needs good arch support.
From: Ted, Virginia

Comments: Nice shoe. Feels a lot like the Axiom in terms of build, but a little softer and springier of a ride. It fits just a tiny bit shorter than the Axiom. I was a comfortable 10 with just a hair less than a thumb-width of room at the front. Nice update.
