The shoe fit great except it was a little too short. It could have a little better arch support but it was ok.

I'm a walker, not runner. I have a narrow foot and these shoes are perfect. I can walk farther and more comfortably with these shoes! Great support all around. I love them and will purchase again!

I buy Brooks running shoes all the time - for over 5 years since I tore my Achilles' tendon and they were recommended by my surgeon. They all give me great support, but these Ariel 20s are the best yet!!

I fell in luv with these shoes!!! Never worn Brooks but I am now a lifetime wearer. I am a avid walker and my feet never felt so good. All day comfort and support. Great shoe?

I have worn the Brooks Ariel shoes for at least 10 years. I have a severe over pronation problem. It is the only shoe that keep my foot aligned close to what it should be. I do like the sturdy but light weight construction of the shoe. However, I do miss the stiffer toe construction of past Ariel shoes.

These shoes have been great for my feet! I am a woman with large, wide feet, so stores never have a size that works for me: I order 11 mediums and they're too small; I order 11 wides and the stores send me an 11medium(!); I order 12 's and they're too roomy and slip off of my heal.
Brooks Ariel '20 was "just right"!! I ordered a 12medium and it is big enough, but not too big. It is comfy. I can walk, hike, run and it works. I am so happy with them.
In addition to that, I am a teacher and I stand on my feet all day. I used to try to find less expensive shoes to try to save money, until I developed a plantar fasciitis problem. It is not a problem anymore, once I started spending more money on shoes and doing the research. Brookes were very highly recommended, and _for me_ have lived up to the hype.
The only thing I don't like is the bright white sole. But, a small inconvenience for all the benefits!

Starting wearing Brooks Ariel?s October 2017 after being diagnosed by my podiatrist with plantar fasciitis. They came highly recommended. Have been wearing them ever since. Because of the amount of walking I do for my job my podiatrist wanted me to buy a new pair every four months. My feet let me know when it?s time for a new pair. Absolutely love the 2020 Ariel?s. By far my favorite. Feeling like I am walking on a cloud. During the pandemic I ordered as many pairs that I could get my hands on. Not sure when new style of Ariel?s will come out. I started wearing my fifth pair of 2020?s. I still have six new pairs in boxes. Can?t say enough great things about these shoes. Love them.?

Let me start by saying I am NOT a runner! I had 2 foot surgeries, including a fusion, and Brooks are the only shoes that I can wear all day that don't make my feet hurt by the end of the day. The support is amazing! I am happier with my shoes on than being barefoot or with any other shoe! I am definitely a life long Brooks wearer!

A great supportive all day shoe! I am a veterinarian with low arches and I need an all day shoe while working. This is supportive and comfortable. I recommend it for anyone who is on their feet all day.

I don't run, but I need a workhorse stability shoe and this is it! It's the only shoe I've bought for well over a decade.

Great shoe. I’ve worn Ariel made by Brooks for years. They fit my extra wide foot with bunions and limited arches. My pronation is less obvious with this shoe and it’s very supportive. The black is fine…it’s black. I would wish for other bright colors, otherwise I love the shoe.

great for my bunions and plantar fasciitis. roomy toe box, space for over the counter orthotics. I just wish they had more colors and were keeping them in stock better so I could get more pairs!

I love these shoes! I'm an ICU RN and have RA. A coworker recommended Brooks to me when I complained of knee and foot pain during a shift. I took the online quiz for recommendation and it was spot on. I will definitely purchase again-it's nice to have larger women sizes, especially in halfs. It's just made a tremendous difference in how I feel after work and my days off.
