These are by far the best I have purchased from Brooks. Very lightweight and the fit is perfect.

White reflective bottom of the shoes- especially safe at night. Solid support and very comfortable from the 1st wearing. Love my new Ariels.

Cute in person more so than photo. For these because my doctor recommended after a broke. Metatarsal. Felt good right out of my boot. They do hurt my arch sometimes. Mostly comfortable and nice support.

I bought these for my mom who is about 72. She has terrible feet and knees and when in a specialty shoe store, they sold the Ariel 18 to her. She loved them as they were and asked if I could get her a second pair in case they were discontinued. Hard to find the Ariel 18, I read comparisons and reviews of the 20. Since my mom had also purchased customized orthotics at the shoe store, as well, and sever other purchasers had commented on their orthotics better with the Ariel 20, I thought I would give it a try! She LOVES these and they are better, according to my mom, with the orthotics than the 18. She is now able to be on her feet for hours, rather than in 30-40 minute increments. These are "wonderful," she says.

Not a runner, but need a good walking shoe. Try to walk 20-25 miles a week. These shoes provide excellent stability and cushion for my feet and back. This is the second pair of Ariel shoes and love them.

I took up running about a year ago and started having all sorts of hip/groin/ankle pains. I was losing toenails and destroying my feet (even in expensive, well-fitted Nike shoes)! These are my savior. I run 8-12 miles a day now with zero pain. They're endlessly comfortable and my cure-all to running long distance. Would recommend to anyone! I am a 9.5 and do wear a size and a half up. But just personal preferences due to my toenail issue.

This is my third pair of the Brooks Ariel. This version seems even better. Right out of the box, I felt like I was walking on air while my feet were being held in a very stable way. I can't recommend this shoe enough. I hope Brooks doesn't change this model as they have changed the Addiction in the past.

Really like the shoes. They have a good toe box which I like and good support. I have foot problems so I would like to share the importance of using great shoes early before you get old and everything starts to break. I would like to see other colors. I only see a choice of two. I'd like a good fall/winter color. Not black. Let's say a brown or other complementary color. i.e. plum or cranberry or magenta...something that says that I am running my fastest.

The cushion and support is great and the first time I ran in them I felt like I had been wearing them a long time so it didn't really take a lot of breaking them in. Love this shoe!

This running shoe is THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I have bunions and plantar fascitis and custom orthotics. I also jog/walk about 3 miles per day. These shoes are SO COMFORTABLE, I don't even need my orthotics, though I usually put in a half one and they still fit great! They are cushiony without being weird and the heel is high enough and soft and cushiony and supportive. I ordered a second pair to have one hand! I originally wrote this review for an Asics shoe by mistake.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance and Ascis

I use this shoe to work in. I walk on concrete all day. It gives me the cushioning and support in need, and this shoe doesn't break down as fast as other shoes can.
