[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have worn the Brooks Ariel GTS for over twenty years. After my fourth right ankle surgery and needing to have my right Achilles tendon re-sectioned, my Podiatric Surgeon, Dr. Stephen Stern (Chairman of the Department of Podiatric Surgery, Fairfax Hospital, Fairfax, VA, now retired) told me I needed to wear only this shoe for the rest of my life BECAUSE it is deeply set in the heel area and, therefore, stretches the Achilles tendon, keeping it from tightening up. My left Achilles tendon has remained healthy. I give the Brooks Ariel GTS the highest of recommendations. I have kept older ones as I have needed to order new ones and now have a nice collection of various colors to wear when I want to be "color coordinated!"

I have a couple of foot problems and these have been so helpful. I had a neuroma for a long time and I used to wear Hookas until a bodyworker pointed out that they’re not very supportive for the rest of your body. I had been having a little bit of sciatic pain and as soon as I switched to these it went away, so i guess she was right! This particular model was recommended by my podiatrist. They are the most supportive which is great. They do run narrow in my opinion. I usually were a wide size, but with these I had to bump up to an extra wide (which I’ve never worn before), and it’s honestly a little loose in the heel, but great for my toes. I really wish they made a waterproof version!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ariel GTS was recommended by my foot/ankle surgeon for motion control following ankle surgery for serious break. The rigid sides and back of this shoe provides much-needed support. It’s comfortable and gives me peace of mind in getting my stride back!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really comfortable. I have ankle problems, it kind of stablizes my ankle.

Its very comfy. I would probably size up next time. It depends on the socks you wear with the shoes. Other than that, I love the feel and the color as well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely comfortable shoe. I am not a runner but I have been wearing a different brand shoe for more than 10 years after having plantar fasciitis. This style was recommended and it is so comfortable that I will wearing it from now on. It also comes in wide width which is perfect for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great stability! I am not a runner but put in an average of 15,000 steps a day and these shoes give just the right amount of balance and comfort. Perfect for someone working long hours on their feet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are my main shoes! I have a like a differential in length and these are deep enough to put my insoles in and keep my feet straight with the support that they offer! Please always continue to make these!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brooks are my go-to shoes for every day wear. They are comfortable, very supportive and stylish. I own six pair. My only complaint is- I wear a wide and many of the fun colors don’t come in wide,
RebeccaC
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable for running! Please make more extra wide shoes, please.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually purchased these by mistake, thinking the sale was the Adrenaline series, but I like this model. They are very supportive, but I still think the Adrenaline 24 is best for runners/walkers who have overpronation issues. I would wear these anywhere for comfortable, all-day support. I love the colors too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are great because they have a wide toe box and plenty of support.
