This is my second pair of Ariel GTS 23. These sneakers have excellent support. Im not a runner but walk over 3 miles per day on pavement and the support is amazing. I did need to go up 1/2 size for length but they run a little wide. I usually take a wide width, with these I take a medium width. Best sneakers ever for me!

I have worn Brooks Ariel for years. It is an amazing shoe for stabilizing my foot.
This new style and colors are wonderful. I have bought 3 different colors.

Love these shoes. Great for my old (hammertoe, bunionette, arthritic) feet. Roomy, comfortable, attractive product. Only complaint is that shoelaces need to be longer, and I can't afford to buy every color that you make in this style. Also think your Customer Service is amazing, offering speedy responses.

So far loving these shoes. The stability I have is insane. after learning I have over pronation I had to search and look for what would work for me. So I harvested a try and so far so good! I run 3-5 miles daily. Road running. Have collapsable arches and the over pronation (which is so weird, I never knew). These shoes have really relieve all sorts of pain Id deal with in the past. Now that I know the shoe that works for me I feel like a brand new runner!

I think this is the third version of Ariels I have purchased. The heel was finally fixed so that it doesn't collapse as you put them on. It doesn't feel much more cushioned than the previous version. The toe box is smaller. In my case it's not enough to be painful but I don't understand the change, the toe box was perfectly fine in the old versions. My big toe does contact the front of the shoe slightly. I have over pronation and do not run. These are my daily shoes. These are fine in the heat as long as you have appropriate socks. Water does soak through easily.

I am not a runner, but I have terrible feet and weak ankles. I have been wearing Brooks for a few years, but the Ariel 23, really seems to give me more support then the ones I had been wearing.

They are ok but WAY overpriced ! My husband got these for me and I was angry that he paid what he did when I could have gotten better shoes for the price .

Love the support. The tongue of the shoe is properly padded and soft against my ankle, not like the ones on the other brooks shoes. I am again disappointed that more color options are not available. Other Brooks styles have multiple color options.

I wanted to love these, I really did. I have plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis - these shoes made it way worse. By the second day of wearing these during my 10hr shift, I literally was in tears. Its never been this bad!!! Also, these shoes hurt my arch so badly. If youre worried about them hurting your arch or flaring up your plantar fasciitis, dont get!!

Ordered my normal sneakers size 10 Medium. Too Small in the toe box. Toes hit the end of the shoes. Bummer.

These shoes are well worth the money. Theyre a bit heavier than my traces but theyre sturdy and I need that after ACL repair. These are my go-tos for PT and every day walking!

Brooks fit my foot and are very comfortable. I've decided though I cannot continue to pay high dollar for shoes that so quickly get a hole in the toe area.
I'd also recommend:

Ive been wearing Ariel for years and the fit and comfort is perfect. Only one thing I would gripe about is the lack of exciting colors!

These sneakers were very supportive and comfortable. Unfortunately, the GTS in the sneaker did not work for me so I had to exchange them for a pair that did not have GTS.

The fit is great, and I really like the lighter beige color. Wish the shoe would come in more solid colors such as navy blue, brown, etc.

I have been using brooks since Adrenaline GTS 18 came out. I switched to Ariel GTS 23 looking for more stability and support. I tried them on the treadmill and road. They fit great but personally can't run with such heavy running shoes. They are a good choice for walking, though. Still thinking if I want to keep them but have worn them daily for the last week and don't feel I should return them.

Comfortable. But seems like she was changed? I am disappointed due to the shoes angle down in front. Shoes should be more of a level feel. Not sure if I'm returning or keeping. I walk for exercise so time will tell
Don't think I would recommend

These shoes are a lifesaver. Ive probably been wearing some version of them for ten years or more. They make walking much easier for me as I am very flat footed. I dont have as much overpronation but I do use an insert in them as well which helps my shoes last even longer. Ill always buy from Brooks!

I finally got it right with this pair of shoes! They fit well. They have good cushion. They give good support. The Glycerin GTS were too wide and gave no support for my distance walking. I now just use them for everyday at work. The Adrenalines were very uncomfortable and didnt fit my arch correctly. The Ariel gts are my go to for my 5k program. I finally feel I have decent running shoes again.
