I love these shoes! I know they?re supposed to be for running, but I use them for Pickleball. Their construction is so sturdy. It really helps with my plantar fasciitis to wear these shoes.

This shoe is very comfortable and supportive. I walk and hour a day and have some joint/cartilage issues and the shoe is quite supportive.

As usual, high quality product, very supportive, pretty much the only show I can wear to get the back support I need!

Bought these for our daughter who suffers from severe over pronation. These do a better job at straightening her foot than any of the orthodics we have tried. She can now go on extended walks with us and have no hip, knee or ankle pain. She can even run now without hurting herself. We are happier with these than any show purchase we've ever made!

I did not buy your shoes for running but were recommended by my doctor for my plantar facitis. They are very comfortable and work well with my insoles. I like them very much!

Super happy with this purchase! Ordered in extra wide to allow some “wiggle room” for my toes and feet. I suffer from gout and as anyone who has this disease will tell you, it is difficult to find a shoe that fits properly. These do and it feels like I’m walking on a cloud. Fantastic purchase and, as always, super happy with Zappos for the speedy shipping!

Great fit, very comfortable and supportive. Nice cushy feeling without being heavy. Does not feel like an orthopedic shoe looks good on.

Use these for walking instead of running. They have a wide toe box and lots of support. I usually buy Addiction but like these even better.

I have extra wide feet and orthotics. The Brooks Ariel is the ony walking show I have worn in over 25 years. That said, I have been disappointed in the styles in the past few years. I dislike black tennis shoes and the light gray ones with green just look like "old people's shoes" to me. I wish they would make these more stylish like some of the other models. I was very happy to see the Peacoat/vivid viola and I think it is a bit better so I purchased 2 pairs. Hoping the next go 'round are more colorful.

I think these shoes may relieve some of the pain I feel from osteoarthritis in my feet. Even my knees feel better after wearing them for only a day. I would recommend them to anyone with similar problems.

They are perfect. I lasted 6 hours on my feet without pain. They are the most comfortable and the most supportive shoes I have had in a long time.

I've bought the Ariel 20 for a few years. I have problems with my feet so they are perfect( I do take inserts out and replace with my orthotics). I do wish that the lighter grey material was an option to buy. Seem like the only choice is either black or the dark grey.

They're comfortable! I think softer shoes suit me best. I haven't run in them yet but I walk nearly every day for 4-5 miles on pavement. So far, so good. I look forward to resuming jogging when the weather cools down further.

You can’t beat the quality of a Brooks sneaker. I’ve worn the Ghost model for many years but decided to try the Ariel based reviews. Brooks cost more but last. I also ordered an ASICS sneaker but felt the quality was lacking, had a poor fit, and sent them back. I use these for walking and appreciate the cushioning and arch support. I order a full size up as I wear them with thick socks.

Once I started wearing Brooks Ariel my Achilles tendonitis improved tremendously. I no longer have pain after exercising. This is the best fit for my feet and the maximum support and cushioning is amazing. I just wish there were more color choices. Please keep making these awesome shoes and other quality products.
