I love the Ariel. The shoe pictured is my second pair, but I?ve bought them 3 times and glycerin more times before switching to Ariel, than I can remember. I don?t run, but I walk a lot for my job and for pleasure. Recently, I under went foot surgery where the Ariel was recommended by my foot surgeon. The biggest problem I have is getting the color I want, black, in my size. 7W, so I sometimes have to wait longer between buying a new pair.

The Arial '20 fits like a glove. I have problem feet and am always looking for workout shoes that are comfortable. I am not a runner, but I use them for all of my workouts and walking. I love the way they feel. So cushy I don't even need my orthotic insoles. I normally wear a size 11 women's shoe, but I am more comfortable in the size 12. I would say they run a bit small, maybe a 1/2 size from your regular shoe size. I will definitely order these again.

These shoes are the only ones that really fit me. I've been buying them the last 15 years. I don't turn my ankles if I am wearing these..

Like the square toe box & the best arch support in any shoe I've ever owned. I'm a former runner but these are the best shoes that support my very flat feet.

These have been my go-to walking shoes for years. I keep buying the black and blue ones every year. They are comfortable and most importantly they are supportive. I have flat feet and get a lot of aches and pains. These shoes help keep my walking as normal as possible. I get them WIDE for more roominess for my wide feet. They are perfect for this plus-size gal.

Very comfortable. Great shoes if your heels tend to slip. Wish they came in pretty colors instead of just gray, light gray and black.

I bought the Ariel shoe for its stability, as recommended at a shoe store that did not have my size. I bought my shoes online. I usually wear women's dress shoes size 12C. I bought Ariel size 13D, as I saw a review that said to buy a half size up, because the shoes ran small. I am very happy with my purchase. I would like to see more colors available in my size.

I don't run but I have a wide foot and the start of a bunyon. I have been wearing ariel style for at least 4 years. They are the only sneakers for me.

Ariel is the shoe that fits my foot and my shoe needs. Please keep offering this style. Maybe add more colors.

Ariel runs short and narrow. I wear 7.5 W in Brooks Ghost, and 8 2E in Ariel.
The arch support is immediately felt and very good.
The insole is very thick and cushioned.
Very comfortable.
The look of the shoe is important to me, so I...
...Wish it came in more colors for 2E width.
...Wish it had 2-tone shoelaces like my Ghost.
I use this shoe for cross training and walking.
Highly recommend.

I have been wearing the Brooks Ariel for years and when my toe started to peek through the mesh I knew it was time for a new pair. But my local store could not get them in my size, except for black. Then I remembered Zappos and there they were, in gey and my size. Thank you!

The Arial is comfortable and has excellent motion control and stability. Runs small. Size up at least a half size. I ordered my usual size and my toes hit the end.

I have neuromas in my feet and have a very difficult time walking in tennis shoes for long distances. When I found Brooks shoes I was able to go back to long, relaxing walks again. Great shoe and doesn't hurt my feet.
