I am on my feet for 12 to 13 hours at a time as a RN. I also have foot pain. I love my new Ariel 20 tennis shoes! I no longer have any problems with my feet! I will definitely be ordering more!!

This is the 6th or 7th pair of Ariel '20s that I have purchased, so obviously, they are the best shoe ever. I have high arches and bunions and these offer me the support and room that I need to stay comfortable through miles of walking. I traditionally where an 8 in running shoes, but I where an 8.5 in the Ariel.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)

Runs NarrowRuns Wide
Poor SupportGreat Support
I buy a lot of Brooks shoes and never had any sizing issues. However, this style felt 1/2 inch shorter than the other Brooks I own. The style is great and I love the color combination. I was going exchange for a larger size, but decided to buy SAS Tour Mesh. I will buy these Brook shoes in the future because I like the blue and black combination and they have good arch support.
I'd also recommend:
SAS and New Balance

I got these as I have Plantar Fasciitis and needed good arch support and heel cushion. They did the trick! Walking to and from work (I live in NYC) has become so much more comfortable.
I will say the reviews/warnings, that mention the shoes being slippery, are warranted. Beware of wet metal!

After a few years of not making extra wide width finally, they are available again. Love these shoes.

Very comfortable, bouncy, and stabilizing. I only walk but I feel like running in these shoes. They are a bit heavy and the sole is thick. I like it because of the cushion but sometimes my feet drag from the weight if I don't pay attention.

These are the only ones that keep me running aligned and injury-free. I was devastated during Covid when they pulled them -probably supply chain related. I had to try various stability shoes from other brands during then and nothing compares. So glad they're back -please don't ever discontinue! I pronate on one foot and the Ariel keeps that heel in check. Worth the cash every single time. I went a half size up from my regular show size. Only ask is they make them in edgier colors; I'm not my mom power-walking!

I am a nurse so I am on my feet 60% of the day. Brooks Ariel are the only shoes I will wear to work. They have superior support and are so comfortable!

I was nervous about ordering the Ariel's because for 10+ years, I've always worn the Adrenaline GTS. However, I had some major issues with the last pair I purchased several years back that were causing my ankles to bleed and I couldn't return them since the window had long past. I saw the Ghost 14 were running a good cyber Monday deal so I purchased them. But sadly those didn't work out as well. So it brought me to the Ariel's. I couldn't be happier with the purchase decision. I'm very picky when it comes to shoes since I over probate and have flat feet. These shoes are the most comfortable I've owned and well worth the money. I read previous reviews on them running small so I ordered half a size bigger and they're perfect. Almost could have even went another 1/2 size up.

They are supportive yet comfortable. Hard to find that combo in shoes for me.

These shoes were a pleasant surprise. For a higher support shoe they are cute and not too chunky. More importantly they are supportive and comfortable. I am an avid gym goer so they're perfect for the gym. I also love them for work. I am in healthcare so I am on my feet all day.

I'm so glad I gave this shoe a shot! It's a great sturdy shoe and was immediately comfortable and I didn't need any break in period.

I love these shoes! I am a walker, not a runner. I have very flat feet. My feet don't hurt at all wearing these shoes. I will definitely buy these again!
