Customer Reviews Brooks Ariel®

These are really pretty silver and blue shoes. They are very comfortable and did not have to be broken in. I knew my size as I have had two other pairs of these great shoes, so I only had to order one pair. The price was great as the first pair I bought in a local store cost much more!

These provide awesome support! I have tried many shoes and these are the only ones I kept and are approved by my doctor.

I love these shoes! I've been wearing the Ariel for five or so years now, and I am a huge fan. For those like me who need tons of support and a firm footbed, I can't recommend this shoe enough. You won't be sorry you bought them.

This is the perfect shoe for those who need motion control and arch support. This is my 4th pair!

I am very fussy about shoe fitting, and this one is really marvelous. I recommend it!

I have plantar fasciitis and after doing some research this was one of the brands that was recommended. Good heel support and very comfortable.

These are great shoes. On two different occasions, I've gone to specialty running stores to be fitted for the proper running shoe. After trying on easily 20 different pairs each time the conclusion was the same- Ariel running. I love that I can just get them through Zappos.

Great, good looking shoes. Great support. Took just a little getting used to. I am a professional Trainer. These are the best support ever. I use these shoes for step, aerobics and weight training. They are not worn outdoors to keep them nice and to be used only for specific activities.

These shoes are awesome.I am a severe over-pronater but I can wear these without any additional insoles. As always, I order from Zappos because I can test drive them with no shipping fees either way.

Buying my 2nd pair right now. I am an overpronator with fallen arches, and am overweight. Foot pain is just something that I thought I had to live with. Not since getting these shoes. I love them. So long as Brooks keeps making them, I will keep buying new ones to replace mine when they start to wear out!

This is the best shoe for support for anyone with foot problems. I wear custom orthotics for tendon dysfunction. This shoe comes in wide and 2E and fits my orthotics perfectly and truly is comfortable - even with all my foot problems.

I loved this shoe. After an hour the outside edge hurt. Apparently an over correction for my foot. Nicely made fun shoe. Felt safe in it.

Like walking on marshmallows! Super High quality shoe, great support for my high arches. Quality construction. Note that Brooks knows that your food will spread when you are working out, so you do not need to order a larger size. I a 1/2 size up at first, as I usually do with my running shoes, and that pair was too big. I ordered my usual size 9.5 and they fit perfectly, and are wide enough to allow my feet to spread during at work out. All in all an excellent shoe!

These are very comfortable sneakers and it is nice to have stylish sneakers available to those of us women who have big feet.

I love these shoes! They are my second pair and I wouldn't buy anything else! Best running shoe in the world!

I have been wearing Brooks Ariels for a couple years now and they are the best shoes I have ever worn. They help with stability. You get what you pay for with these shoes!

These are the best walking shoes I have worn (over a couple of decades). My podiatrist recommended them to me. She was right! They have more cushioning than others due to an extra layer in the insert. I no longer use my orthotics. I have a bunion so this comfort means a lot to me. I like the Ariel even more than the Addiction. I usually go through a pair of shoes every 3 months because I walk a lot. If these last more than 3 months, great. If not, I will order more!

Great workout shoe. I always order a half size up in Brooks. I'm usually an 8.5, but ordered the 9 and they are perfect. Very stable and supportive.

These are the fourth pair of Brooks Ariel that I have ordered from Zappos over the past several years. Love the Zappos service and selections.

Love these sneakers! I have issues with the ball of my left foot and I've tried other sneakers with thicker soles, inserts, you name, these are the only sneakers that don't leave me in agony after a run!

Great feel and very comfortable. Don't wonder if you should order wide if your are thinking about it make sure you do. Shoes run narrow.

Brooks Ariel OK - I ordered this shoe because I was experiencing pain in the ball of my left foot, probably from over pronation. I am on my feet, on concrete, for 12 plus hours a day at work. The ball of foot pain is almost gone after 3 weeks.

Snazzy - I feel so much cleaner now in my bright, new shoes. Originally, I didn't want this shoe as it was significantly whiter than my older Brooks Ariel pair. However, I like them. I just hope I can keep them clean! They are very comfortable. I use orthotics because my arch is very high and they fit into this shoe just dandy.

My Third Pair - I've been purchasing this shoe for the last 8 years and am now on my third pair---not because the first two wore out but because I've walked three 3-day Walks for Breast Cancer and having a new pair of shoes in which to train is good motivation. Obviously, I love this shoe because I keep purchasing it---same brand, same model, same size.

PJ - I have tried every motion control shoe on the market and this is by far the best. No knee pain, no rubbing, and no blisters! They fit like a glove and do not feel heavy at all despite the weight. Right out of the box I was able to run 4 miles straight. My feet have never felt so good! Best shoes ever!
