The quality is terrible - after 3 weeks of wear, there are holes in the sole of each shoe under the toes.

Reviewed at Brooks Running
I have arthritis and plantar fasciitis on both feet. The Ariel 18 and 20 are the only shoes I can wear and so have purchased for numerous years. New Ariel GTS 23 arrived Dec 12th and can't wear them. What changed?? This is very this appointing. Shoes are expensive, but since they helped me, I always purchased. But to buy a pair of shoes that I can no longer wear is leaving a bad taste on my mouth. Please change back to original Ariel shoe.

I have been wearing Ariel's for almost 10 years. You keep changing them and now they are too spongy and not firm enough. I have nerve damage and Sesamoid arthritis and the firm supportive guideails were the only thing I could wear. Please bring back the old style.

The fit is very true to size and the toe box is nice and deep. I have low volume feet and a narrow heel but have wide bunions and these wide sneakers did not irritate my bunions. They are almost a little too wide for me but with my arch/foot supports work great. They were also deep enough for me to add some additional arch/heel support because my feet pronate. These Brooks Ariel sneakers also have nice cushioning and more stability and decent breathability. I also have the Brooks Ghost and I like the fit but they are not as cushioned as the Ariel and the Ghost get hot.

Nice cushioning and do not get too hot like my Brooks Ghost sneakers. Also these Brooks Ariel give good stability.

These are my daily go to. I just ordered another pair. I have to buy 1/2 size larger to allow for room in the toe box, but so very comfortable

Love these shoes. Did have to order 1/2 size larger to get the room I need in the toe box. But the cushion in the shoe is fantastic. I can walk in these for 10 hours and still be comfortable.

I have big bunions and a lot of foot pain. A surgeon told me to get these before I resorted to surgery. He was right; these are perfect.

So happy to find an exact model and color replacement pair for my well worn Ariels! Brooks Ariel provide the best support for feet that cannot decide whether to pronate or supinate. Very comfortable walking shoes. Usual great Zappos experience.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have. I have hammer toes and bunions and I have no issues wearing these shoes. I'm not much of a runner but I walk enough that I would know if they were hurting my feet..

I love the Brooks Ariel. It's a sturdy, made well shoe which is what I need due to back and hip issues. And it has great stability for overpronators like myself.

I've had to go up a 1/2 size and go to a wide from my previous Brooks, though a different model. Not sure if it's my foot getting larger or the shoes being smaller for size. I do like the fit of this shoe now; and the black top with white sole! Because of the wide, it's not the most attractive shoe, but very comfortable.

I tried three pairs of Brooks and these were my fav! Excellent arch support and eliminated the inward turn in my stride.

They fit like a glove! Fairly lightweight, really comfy and a very supportive shock absorbant sole.
