Super comfortable. These are my 3rd pair of Arials. I Have had, probably, 7 pairs of other Brooks running shoes. They have all been excellent. I use them for walking. Great shoes!

Nice looking shoe. Very comfortable. Shoe laces stay tied, but they are pretty cheap looking.

The shoe is great. I have been wearing Brooks Aerial style for years. Admittedly I am not a runner. This type shoe was recommended by my podiatrist because I have a condition called Morton's neuroma. The wide toe box works for me. So happy to have a lighter color available this year. I have not been a fan of the dark gray and navy of years past. Too bad they do not offer at least one light and one dark color each year.

The Ariel 20 made my feet happy as soon as I put them on. They feel great. Not so sure about the all white sole sides but we shall see. Also missing the rubber toe guard in front but maybe that was unnecessary. They are super on my long walks and I am very happy with how my feet feel.

I used to run long distance years ago - exclusively in Brooks. Then it seemed the quality of the running shoes diminished. I then tried several different brands of running shoes, but was never quite satisfied. Years later I thought I?d try Brooks again. Wow, was I surprised! Literally the most comfortable running shoes I?ve ever worn in all these years. The quality and comfort is exceptional! If you?re looking for the best in running shoes, look no further than Brooks!

During this time of social isolation I get outside to walk or ride my bike nearly every day. This month alone I have walked nearly 100 miles in my Ariel '20 walking shoes. I have inflammatory arthritis so it's important for me to have well made shoes to exercise in. The Ariel '20 is well cushioned, the fit is right, and they hold up well for the amount of time I am in them. I have already ordered a 2nd pair. These shoes are amazing!

The guiderail feels fantastic. I'm starting to get some arthritis in my feet. I stand for the entirety of my work shifts. I need support, comfort, and 2E width. I bought a pair of Hoka One One's six months ago. They were expensive, and the entire structure broke down. I am sticking with Brooks. You make the best quality shoe. I've an old pair I use as yard shoes. The tops are ragged but the structure under is still going strong.

After several injuries, I am no longer running but I am a frontline healthcare worker (anesthesia) & am on my feet for long hours every day. I was getting severe S I Joint pain & switched my work shoes to the Ariel 20. Totally resolved the pain. My shoe category is flat arch, with need of maximum support.

Very stable feel, feels more comfortable that the last ariel which is hard to believe. Ariels have been the key to getting stability over an old ankle injury.

I don't use them for running. I am almost 74 years old with foot pain. My husband uses your shoes for his leg pain with some success, so he bought me these for Mother's Day. Thus far, they are wonderful. I also might add that my husband has a pair that won't wear out, no matter what he puts them through. He has had them for a year and a half and wears them everyday, working outside, fishing, etc. Our daughter is a runner and swears by Brooks.

They are amazingly comfortable for such a supportive shoe. I bought the Beast for my husband and he likes them so much he had me order him a second pair and INSISTED that I try them too!

I did order a half size up and I?m glad I did. This shoe is so comfortable. I am not a runner, but on feet all day at work. Since wearing these shoes my knee do not hurt at the end of the day and my back feel better.

The Ariels are a great shoe, my podiatrist recommended this style for me for stability (I am very flat footed). I have orthotics and they fit great inside, the heel is high enough on the shoe to where I feel like my foot isn't being "lifted" out. I also wear a wide and they're comfortable. I ordered a second pair!

I have very cranky feet bunions, very high arches, almost no padding on the bottom, long toes. Shoes hurt my feet and I've tried a lot of different shoes. These are great. Wide toe box, pretty good arch support and cushioned soles. They don't hurt my feet anywhere. I have bunions and they don't hurt when wearing these shoes. I bought wide width but I think medium would have been fine. My only complaint is the lack of color choices. Only 2 colors and one is black. Those of us who want comfortable shoes deserve more choices.

Love these shoes. Even for just general walking they keep my feet and knees from hurting.
