Customer Reviews Brooks Ariel GTS 23

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!!

I'm a walker and bought this shoe for walking and daily wear. I have bad arthritis in my knees and ankles, so I need a comfortably cushioned and supportive shoe. While the Ariel GTS 23 is attractive, I found the sole to be very hard compared to last years model's too hard for me. The shoe laces are also difficult to adjust. I purchased a wide due to my high instep. The toe box and heel were just right, but the tongue isn't wide enough to cover the whole top shoe enclosure, so the shoe strings touched the sides of my foot. I also found the length of the shoe strings too scant. So disappointing. Please make a wider shoe tongue and return to the older cushioning system. I returned the shoes.

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.
