Customer Reviews Brooks Ariel GTS 23

Love my new Ariels! I have flat feet that overpronate and since discovering this shoe two years ago, Ill never go back. The only thing I wish is that there would be more colors to pick from.

I've been wearing Ariel's for years due to narrow flat feet. I have 3 pairs of Ariel 20's that I currently use for for 3 mile walks 3 times a week. I ordered the black Ariel GTS 23 when it was released on Sept. 1, 2023 to wear on 10-day trip to Portugal and Spain in October. The Ariel 23's were very comfortable walking on the many cobblestone sidewalks and roads throughout Portugal and Spain. I found that I didn't need to tighten the shoelaces as tight on the Ariel 23 as the Ariel 20. I also liked the heel padding better on the Ariel 23 than the Ariel 20. The only thing I didn't like in the black Ariel 23 was the white portion--if you are going to make a black shoe-make it all black. Finally, I would love to see more colors in the Ariel 23. I loved the colors of the Peacoat/Vivid Viola/White Ariel 20.

Great fit very comfortable shoe

Too boxy.Comfortable but it does not encapsulate or support the toes.

I have worn the Ariel for many years and always wore a size 7. They are still my favorite supportive sneaker but they keep making them smaller!! I got a 7.5 the last time and my toes poked through the mesh. So this time I'm trying an 8 and I'm still not sure it's going to work. Love the guide rails especially!

Not thick enough under ball of foot. Bring back the Ariel 19. Also, These shoes go flat quickly.

Loved the look of the shoe and the comfort, however when walking the shoe slipped on my heel. Unfortunately I had to return them.

Big disappointment. These 23 are nothing like the Ariel 20. Why fix when it was never broken. I gave my 23's to my daughter-in-law. I did like the color.

They're just OK. The material seems cheap compared to previous versions.

Everything about these are great, except the width. I have never needed wide width shoes (my other Brooks are not wide width either). These are too narrow in the toe box and have caused blisters on my big toe from rubbing against the shoe and I can't wear them. I have very narrow feet so I'm not sure if it's the style of shoe or if something just went wrong with these.

Been wearing Brooks for quite a long time. Loved the Ariel's and always bought them but I am not a fan of the 23 version. They seem narrower in the toe box. Arch support and overall support is not as good as the 20 's. Not as solid as earlier versions. Hope you get back to a sneaker more like the 20 version. I do not run but was having problems with post tibial tendonitis in the ankle/ foot and the Ariel's were recommended and the earlier versions were great for that and overall support. I wear these all day , every day.Hope you consider going back to what made the 20's and earlier versions great!!

I ordered wideway too wide, not enough support , I was looking forward to this coming out! Went back to adrenalineI love colors and black soles. Very few options lately
