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.

I bought a half size larger than normal to accommodate my longer second toe. Even though it's a tiny bit roomier in the heel, this shoe is incredibly comfortable! So soft yet supportive with every step. I would definitely recommend this brand and style.

I would also recommend New Balance

Have been wearing Brooks Ariels for three years now after developing plantar fasciitis. My podiatrist highly recommended them. Because I am on my feet 8 hours a day for work I have to replace my Ariels every four months. Just started wearing new 2020 Ariels. They are the most comfortable ones thus far. I call them my 24/7 shoes because as soon as I get out of bed they are on my feet. I also recommend Brooks Adrenaline for running.

I love, love, love my new Brooks shoes! I am a larger person with many knee and ankle issues. This is the first shoe I have ever gotten that feels comfortable straight out of the box as well as during mile 7, or 8, or 9.... I feel like my entire body is benefitting from these shoes. I can go further with much less discomfort during and after my runs/walks. Thank you Brooks! So happy!

After trying on at least 6 different brands, your company upon my request recommended this particular shoe. I'm back to walking miles with no problem. These shoes have a nice large toe box and are extremely light. I've already purchased my second pear as in as many months. Your customer service is beyond reproach. I look forward to a Long and lasting relationship with you and my feet.

Love the light color. Every year this style should include a light color as well as a dark color

I'm not a runner-Brooks brand was recommended to me by a podiatrist- a very arthritic joint on the top of both feet- plus sizable bunions- Brooks are the only shoes I can wear that do not cause pain

So far so good. I wear a 10D womens, and I am NOT a runner. I used to wear Ariel and switched to Addiction, only in part due to the price difference. I like that the 2020 Ariel toe box has been rounded out. During my workout I felt noticeably more stable (than in my Addictions), to my surprise and delight. The heel back really hugs my heel. I just hope that the collar holds up better than on the Addiction.

I have high arches and a wide instep, so it's a challenge to find running shoes that support my feet properly. After trying several different pairs, these were the perfect fit!

Feels good so far. I like that there are no seems over the toes and meta-tarsels. It creates a very forgiving shoe top if you have bunions.

Great shoe, good support. Brooks are the only running shoe to buy. My only suggestion would be to re-enforce toe area with a heavier material/leather. my big toe seems to turn up and I get a hole in top of shoe.

Very comfortable and stable shoe for the walking that I do. I have a torn tendon and wearing this shoe reduces the pain by keeping me from pronating when I walk. I just wish there were more color options.

I don't run. I have extremely flat feet and stand all day at work. I've had several pairs of Ariel shoes and these are the most comfortable of all so far!

I love these shoes. From the minute I put them on I could tell they would be great. I have real bad knees and real flat feet and I needed something to stop my pain and these do the job.

I have bought Ariels for a number of years. Always comfortable for my aging, arthritic feet, and they have a deep enough toe box to accommodate my orthotics. I love the darker colors you made the last few years. I don't like the color of the 2021 model, so I bought an extra pair of the 2020s.

I love these shoes, I love the cushion with support. Other shoes have cushion and support, but these just have a bit more of each, and I really notice the difference in how the added cushion affects my joints, all the while having support. I have them in both colors. I also have a narrow foot and narrow volume, but these seem to work okay with me. Also, I am a walker, not a runner. Please Brooks, do not get rid of this shoe. Thank You!

I love my new pair of Ariel 20. First of all, I am not a runner! I am 60+ on my feet all day teaching 5th graders. I have osteoarthritis in one knee, an old fracture in the opposite ankle, and worst of all, I am flatfooted!! These shoes have saved my sanity! I am no longer in pain at the end of the day! I began wearing a pair of Ariel 18 over a year to aide with plantar fasciitis, but the Ariel 20s are even better!!!
