So far I love this shoe! For the first time, even after “professional” fittings, I have been recommended the right shoe. I usually suffer from extreme shin pain, my feet roll to the anterior sides. These shoes have provided relief and I am able to walk long distances pain free. I have not yet tried running in them. I hope they continue to be my shoe! I have had the Ghost, Adrenaline, and Glycerine. Never have I used a wide Brooks shoe. The only reason I give them a 4 is because the black/ ebony are purple, definitely not black. Thanks to the Shoe Shack in Dubuque for the help!

Limited Stability

If you are in top physical condition or just want to wear these for limited outings on flat surfaces these may work for you. I wore Brooks Ariel's for decades without any problems. Recently they redesigned the shoe to sit on a platform of squishy gel. This design no longer provides the stability or support of the original Ariel's.

Ariel Gts

Did not like these at all. Hard on my knees as I am on my feet a lot.

I have worn several different Brooks shoes. Ariel GTS is by far the most comfortable. It has a great cushion and great support. I am 84 years old and I recommend them for any senior who enjoys walking. I just wish they came in more colors.

Great Gym Shoes

Brooks are the best. Very comfortable , look great and last
