I'm super upset as I was hoping this newer model would provide better support and stability and instead it's absolutely the worst ever!! I have been a ride or die Ariel shoe fan for the past 40 years--The Ariel over the years has progressively gotten less supportive and softer. The past 3 years have really gotten soft with questionable structure and support. My last few pairs barely last a few months and they are so soft and breaking down and I am barely working out in them--I am a small person. My capsulitis has come back due to lack of support and smaller toe boxes and I was hoping that this model would help but it has the least structure and support of all! its like a flat slipper!! I will be returning these. I have to try to find a better brand or model as these Brooks suck!! I'm so disappointed in Brooks!!
