Customer Reviews Brooks Ariel '18

I LOVE these shoes, just received my third pair, the medium gray/lime green this time which I also love. I have problem feet-successful bunion surgery on both, not successful hammertoe surgery, worse results on one foot than the other. Need extra wide, these are the MOST comfortable and supportive shoes I have ever found. The toe box is wide as in previous designs but I particularly like this current one which has more fabric across the toe box, without bands which can sometimes be constrictive. Thank you Brooks, please keep making!

It's the only show I wear because my doctor recommends it. Also it's a great show to stabilize my foot as I have very flat feet.

I am not a runner. I have bad feet that have broken 5 times. These shoes are the best for comfort. I work in them. I walk in them

I've always bought brooks addiction and wanted to try another shoe, really like them light weight but great support!

A great supportive and comfortable shoe. Great for this walker who has broken both ankles. Good cushioning but for me support and anti- roll sole are most important. I wear them every day!

This is a repeat purchase! These fit me so well. I just put in my orthotics and I'm off and walking. I love there are new color combos. Keep 'em coming!!

I really like these shoes. I have been wearing this brand of shoe for many years now and I like that I can still get the same style year after year. They are very comfy and I walk 5 miles a day so need a good reliable shoe.

I have worn Brooks Ariels for ten years. My entire body feels better when I wear my Brooks. Thankfully the designers have returned to a wider toe box. I buy four pairs of Ariels per year.

Well I don't run, but I am a nurse and have worn this style for 16 years. They are comfortable and have great support. I wish they came in different colors. Like the more popular cheaper versions .

These are Brooks' most supportive running shoe. This is my third pair of Ariel '18's and they have taken me on many runs and a few races which I never would have believed I could have finished. They accomodate my custom orthotics.

This is the most supportive and well-built athletic shoe I've ever owned. It's extremely comfortable, and I continue to have absolutely problems with Plantar Fasciitis since I started wearing the Brooks brand. I paid a little more for the Ariel style because the last pair I purchased online did not feel as stable and didn't last very long. These are holding up nicely with daily wear, often 12 hours a day and doing high-impact workouts 3 days a week. I also love that this super orthopedic shoe doesn't look at all like one!

Best show for support and anyone with any previous surgery.. It's the only shoe I'll wear.

Great shoe for my little fat feet! I've tried other shoe brands and Brooks are the only ones that works for my long days on my feet.

I ordered the size 7.5 wide, but to be honest it doesn't feel any wider than my previous pairs of 7.5 with normal widths. As always the Ariel is supportive and comfortable. I have very flat feet and pronate, and have been wearing Ariels for over 15 years. I hope they never change it. Thank you for finally having more feminine colors!

Love the shoes! I have severe pes planus and these shoes provide excellent midfoot support.

Perfect blend of support and cushioning in a really nice-looking shoe

The perfect running shoe, nicely cushioned and the wide width is just what I need. Please don't change the design. I have three pairs and look forward to having many more.

My wife loves these. I've been buying them for every six months or so since 2014. She's had reconstructive surgery on both feet so finding a shoe that is comfortable and provides adequate support is difficult. The Ariel line has been that shoe for her. The only exception was Ariel 16 didn't fit as well because it has a seam that rubbed the side of her foot, but the Ariel 18 has been superb! Please continue to make the Ariel!

I love this shoe...I feel it has the best support Of all the shoes brooks makes
