Strong, Supportive Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear the Ariel style with orthotics and find it offers a lot of support. This new version seems a bit wider than its predecessor. I wore a wide width before, but think the normal B width would work with this shoe.

Awesome shoe worn Ariel exclusively for at least 20 years

Orthopedic Approved

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ariel GTS was recommended to me by my podiatrist 2 years ago. They are stylish and very comfortable. I have not had any more issues with my feet since I started wearing them. I wear size 9, but my podiatrist recommended to size up to a 10 & wide width in my work sneakers.

Too Wide Now

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 26 is too wide for me. I loved the 24 for its sleekness and stability. I have narrow feet but the 24 fit well. I do not run but have had two hip replacements in 2 years and found the 24 perfect for physical therapy and everyday wear. The mushroom color of the 24 was much more subtle than the dark brown accents on the 26!

Best Model

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been Ariel for years. Best model yet! Wish you could come out with some bright colors!

Great Shoe.

Great shoe. Super stable! Great all around shoe. Slower paced running, lifting/gym workouts, walking, and great all around shoe for CrossFit and circuit classes.

Comfy But Not Too Squishy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had subtalar fusion surgery in January after a crazy calcaneous fracture. I got to start wearing shoes (out of the walking boot) in April. Originally I bought a pair of Hoka Bondi 9 and they have been nice, but I also purchased these to be able to swap out and I like them better. They’re not as “squishy” as the Hokas so I can really work on my foot/walking form, especially during exercises. I look forward to wearing them outside of recovery as well :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have over pronation and usually get shoes with added arch support and arch boosters but with these shoes I don’t need any of that added support because they have enough. Plus the color is super cute. I like to get my sneakers in wide and half a size up (I’m a 7.5) but for these I did wide and a full size up (8.5) and it was a good choice! I will say, the wife doesn’t feel as wide as I thought it might.

My Favorite Brooks Shoes For Walking. The New Model Is Even Better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Firm support but very comfortable. Good lateral stability.

Love The Black Colorway

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I usually find the Brooks Addiction Walker in leather more comfortable in the forefoot area for long days on my feet, but I really prefer the look of these Brooks Ariel shoes. They offer excellent support and stability while still looking more stylish and modern. I just hope Brooks starts offering more neutral color options in extra wide sizes.

I don’t like this shoe. The toe box is too narrow compared to the Ariel 24. I don’t run anymore but not comfortable for walking any length of time. It is more cushy though

I am recovering from ankle surgery and got these for a second pair of supportive sneakers. Good shoe just not as comfortable as Adrenalin to me. Maybe not as much of push off/ flexibility

My First Brooks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I walked half marathon with my new brooks had about a month to break them in. No issues on short 5 -11 pre-mile walks. During the race my big toes hurt and were bruised by the last mile of race. The nails will fall off per foot doctor. I had gone to store first and was sized and they new of the arthritis on top of each foot by big toe that's why a wide shoe was recommended. After visiting doctor suggested I find a rocking shoe never heard of that. Doctor suggested a few other brands that carry those type. The shoes themselves are comfortable but after 2 weeks still hard to wear again.

Great Feel.

I enjoy the cushiony feel. Color is great. first time trying the Ariel as I usually prefer the Ghost.

Great Low Key Exercise Shoes.

Love them for everyday use. I am 80 years old and they give me the support and stability I need while being comfortable.
