The re-design from Ravenna 8 to Ravenna 9 caused a massive drop in durability. My Ravenna 9s were completely worn out at about 2/3 of the mileage of my many prior shoes. The fabric is detaching from the sole as well. If Brooks is going to reduce the quality of the shoes, then perhaps the price should reflect that.
Anyone else have these issues?
I hope this is not true. Can it get worse? My Ravenna 7s & 8s didn't seem very durable. Uppers were falling apart after a year and I don't run a lot.

Did you report this finding in the crap pop up survey before posting here?
Every day the $3.99 Target flats get a stellar rating for their ability to absorb sperm and feces!!
Revisiting this to report that Ravenna 10s are even worse in terms of durability. Ravenna 9 lasted about 70% of the mileage as Ravenna 8. Ravenna 10 lasted just over 50% of the mileage as Ravenna 8 for me before being completely worn out.
