Brooks Ravenna 2 v.s Brooks Adrenaline?

Running Shoes/Running Gear

13 years ago 05/16/2011 5:51pm EDT

I am about 1week into running with the brooks ravenna (60miles). I'm not quite sure I like the ravenna's that much. Mostly because lately I have been feeling some weird arch aching that I had never felt before switching to them (possibly because of the weird curve the ravenna's have on them?). I used to run in the nike pegasus 27's but started having some other weird aches in my arch which caused me to make the switch to a more supportive shoe (ravenna 2's).

I'm more of a mild pronator with a midfoot strike and was curious how the brooks adrenaline's compare to that of the ravenna's? Are the brooks more for a runner that overpronates a lot? Or could I get away with using them as a mild overpronator?

I ran in adrenalines for a while an recently switched to ravennas and have some significant soreness but it is starting to subside after ~100 miles on the shoes. I don't really feel the curvature of the toe box while I run but it does look odd for sure. Sounds like you might have had a previous history that is causing the soreness.

My advice- ice after runs with ice pack and reduce intensity then go from there.
