Customer Reviews Brooks Ariel GTS 24

Great support, but the upper is too wide! Needs to be available in narrow! I had to return because of the wide width. Wish it had the same support but with the Adrenaline upper. Love the black & white, (wish Addiction had that color option).

I don't find your shoes as wide as other running shoes.

I have neuropathy and like that the Ariel GTS24 feels supportive without being overly restrictive like the Adrenaline GTS24. I'm able to wear my orthotics and it doesn't hurt my metatarsals. That being said, I took away a star due to the lack of colors. The beige color looks like ugly ortho shoes. I need the 12 mm depth and I don't have much choice since Brooks changed the Glycerin and I haven't been able to wear them since the Glycerin 20s of which I fortunately have a few pairs left. These were my perfect shoe and so comfortable. They had amazing color options too. I would like white in the Ariel and perhaps pink. It's not the Glycerin 20 but will have to suffice until something better comes along. There is enough room in the toe box and it fits true to size. It's firm without being too hard.

I have worn the Ariel style for years. Very supportive and comfortable. My only complaint is that for years the color choices have been too conservative, even ugly! I know others have also made this comment. How about giving us some pretty or sporty color choices as you have done for the other styles! We pay a premium for this shoe, but yet color choices are pretty basic or ugly looking compared to your other styles. Not fun to wear! I would buy more to match various outfits instead of one pair each season if there were more color choices. It is never fun to pick out a new pair when the colors are a basic black or grey most times. People never really notice or compliment me about them---I think you would sell more it they were more attractive. Comfort and support are important, but they should be fun to wear!

I have feet problems and the only shoes I wear are Brooks Ariel. The support is great. I purchased the Ariel GTS 24 in ebony/black. These are NOT BLACK. I wear black pants to work everyday. If I wear long blk pants the shoes look navy. If I wear blk capris the shoes look purple. I"m disappointed in the color I want black shoes. The shoe also looks cheaply made. The rubber piece on heel looks like glued on and the white sole looks and feels cheaper than my older shoes. I have a pair of ariel 20 and 23 sitting here and the quality just looks better than the 24. The shoe doesn't feel like as much cushion as previous ariels.

I like the shoes; they feel secure and cushioned for these old feet, and the laces are just the right length, not too long. I probably shouldn't have chosen the light color, but it was the only color offered aside from black.

New sneaker for walking. Great fit. Feel like sneakers. Would rate anything excellent if were like walking barefoot.

I love the shoe it is great for high arches with plantar fasciitis. The color loos navy in the light. I wanted black the coconut color is great! I wish they made an all white.

Great shoe! Only drawback is the tongue of the shoe is short.

Love the fit and feel of these shoes. Very supportive. This is my second pair of Ariels. Be advised, the mercury/ebony/lavender is NOT grey as it appears on the website. They are definitely a greenish/gray. When I asked my daughter what color they are she said "mint green." Still cute but not the neutral I expected. They will now be my work shoes and my coconut ones are my go to neutral shoe. Love them.

I have severe bunions and need a Large toe box. These shoes have that, but now the heel is too wide. Unfortunately,, I have a narrow heel. What to do???

Bought these shoes for work. They are so comfortable. I stand all day and when I take then off my feet don't hurt.

I really liked the style and fit of these Ariel GTS shoes. ( thank you Brooks, for carrying Women's size 13s!) My foot is extremely sensitive currently as I'm experiencing both plantar fascitis, and neuropathy, and while they might have worked for the plantar fascitis alone, they were too hard for my neuropathy, and were painful. My choices right now are extremely limited, as my foot is so sensitive, and also because I wear a 13. The only brand my foot can tolerate at the moment (Hokas) doesn't have Women's size 13s, and I have to wear a "Unisex" size, which basically is a men's size, and are too wide and don't fit as well as a Women's 13.

I have worn Ariel 22 with no foot pain but the Ariel 24 my feet hurt

Very uncomfortable. Fit is too tight in the toe box and bruised my toes. Never again.

I had to return these shoes. My feet are flatter than flat and wide. I don't run, just need an everyday comfortable shoe. I ended up getting men's Adrenaline that fit and the color is similar to this Ariel.

I have worn the Ariel shoe for years. The shoes fits good and helps with my flat feet. The only problem I have with these is the shoe is squeaky when you walk. The last pair I had did the same thing. I ended up buying a different shoe. I've tried all the things I know like baby powder. It's annoying to be walking around and all you hear is the squeaking.

Ariel gts has been my go-to show for many years. This current iteration is not my favorite for two reasons. 1) the "black" is not black. It's more dark grey. Please bring back the black and more color choices! See photo comparing current black with the Ariel 23 black. 2) the toe box is slightly tighter in its height. The fabric seems tighter or perhaps more taut so it pushes more against the top of the toe than my previous pairs. It may run a tad more narrow in the toe due to the shape but I'm not certain.

Been wearing Ariel's for years as my go-to shoe. At one point I felt they were getting tight and went up half a size to accommodate a deeper orthotic. Overall the shoe seems about the same as previous years with some minor differences. I have two complaints . 1) the toe box feels a little tighter from the top. Perhaps a tighter or more taut material? It may be slightly more narrow but I still feel like I have enough space perhaps because I wear a half size larger in this shoe. 2) the black is not black. It's dark grey in the new shoes. Overall solid comfy supportive shoes. Wish they offered more colors.

They are light and extremely comfortable as i am on feet all day

I wish it were available in black in my size, 6D. The toe bed is wide enough and the rise in the heel is great for my plantar fasciitis. I have worn Ariels with my orthodics for a number of years now, but this pair is too shallow in the heel, and my heel rises up from the shoe when I walk. It doesn't work for me.

I liked the overall look on my feet; however it's a tight fit, although it's my normal size, 10.5. I saw that it's made in Vietnam, my experience with the Eastern manufacturers is that they make a smaller size.

Not a big fan of the Ariel GTS 24. Very uncomfortable.

Love my Ariels. Comfort and the best support, I'm invincible in them.
