I have been wearing Brooks Ariel for more than ten years- they are great support. Can you tell me if you are ever going to put out a 22 version?

I love these shoes. They fit my feet like they were made for them. I have better balance and support when walking too. I actually bought a second pair in black

I like these shoes so much that this is the second pair that I've purchased. Before I switched to these Brooks shoes, I had a lot of foot pain after walking a couple of miles. That all disappeared when I went to the Ariel '20. These shoes are comfortable, supportive, and long-wearing. I highly recommend them.

These shoes were recommended by my Orthopaedic. I have arthritis and plantar fascitis. They are most comfortable shoes I ever wore. I usually wear a 10 N and 10 1/2 B fit me well. Worth the cost.

Brooks shoes are the BEST shoes on the market! I've owned several of their shoes, but I would have to say the Ariel '20 is the most comfortable of the models I've purchased from them. I use them during my workouts with weight training and on a treadmill for brisk walking/running on a flat plane and going up steep inclines. Stupidly, I've tried other brands of shoes just for variety, but they always caused intense ankle/foot pain. I now know that Brooks are the only shoes that I can use because of the exceptional stability they offer to allow me to workout without pain. I would highly recommend the Ariel '20 if you have stability issues with your ankle/foot or if you supinate/pronate when you walk. My only complaint is that they don't have enough colors. I'm older so I'm not interested in the different patterns that shoes have these days, but offering the shoe in more than just a couple colors would be nice.

Very comfortable with great support. Try not to walk through moist dirt or little rocks because everything gets stuck in the tread on the bottom of the bottom of the shoe.

I've been wearing these for years after my podiatrist recommended them. Love them! But seriously can we please get some new colors? You keep advertising other colors for other styles but not Ariel.

I really like the Ariel's & have been wearing them a long time. The only thing that disappoints me in they change the insole it use to be very soft but not anymore

Ariel was recommended by a specialty shoe store. This is my second pair; has really helped with foot discomfort I endured in my daily 2-4 mile walks. Love the stability, cushioning and comfort. Please add more colors!

I am not a runner. I use these shoes for everyday wearing. It has helped my posture and helping me keep in alignment. They are very comfortable.

These shoes are the best for my arthritic feet. They give me support and plenty of room. I'm so glad I found them.

I'm a new woman after getting rid of my sauconys ( which I wore for years but we're recently replaced with an inferior shoe ) and buying this pair of Brooks! In the first tryout I stood more erect, felt more stable than I had in a long time and got my mojo back in my stride! Bought a second pair!

These are still the best version offered for overpronators. I found ordering a half size up from my regular one feels more comfortable. Good balance of interior cushion but tough soles. Love the guiderail support. However... Even though I'm overall very happy with the shoe construction itself, I do wish that from year to year if the construction remains the same, there was at least a rotation of accents. There is nothing more boring than being bound to one type of shoe (limited options for max support, female) that has kept the same, extremely limited color palette going into a third year. Here's to hoping there's at least some update in the coming year to add excitement back into purchasing.

I'm have low arches. This is my favorite shoe and I have been buying them over and over for many years now. I tried comparable shoe from a different manufacturer while this was out of stock during the pandemic and it just didn't quite match up for me. I'm glad it is back! Great for motion control and support.

I really liked this shoe but the left shoe fit my problem (left) foot (bunion) perfectly however my foot was rubbing the top edge of the right shoe... even after sizing up as recommended.

The Brooks Ariel offer great support and stability. I have extremely flat feet and I pronate which developed into Severe Planter Fasciitis. I use these shoes for work as I stand most of the day. I use them with my inserts and they are great! Def recommend!

Very expensive shoe. I don't run, barely walk. I needed a shoe that would have good support because I am so heavy. I found that comfort in the Brooks shoe.

Cushion support under the "balls" of my feet helps prevent extra impact on knees. This is my fourth pair of these. I alternate daily and order replacements when the wear is noticeable. Love the shoes!!!!!

These shoes are very comfortable. They are well made. The toe box is generous and they are deep enough to easily accommodate my orthotics. The material is forgiving, although the weave may be chilly in cold weather - I'd love a leather option. After many years of wearing the Brooks Addiction Walker, which has gotten tighter, I've happily switched to these.
