Customer Reviews Brooks Ariel GTS 24

I used this show for almost day today activity like running and walking and this is great gear for almost daily wear and brooks did wonderful job

The Glycerin 22 was the perfect shoe to keep running medium to large distances with some pre existing foot injuries. They provided enough support to allow me to keep running and enough comfort to manage any discomfort I would normally experience after a long run. Perfect to ease in after or work through an injury. Love them!

These shoes are decidedly not black-- more charcoal. The Ariel is intended to be similar to Addiction, which is never in stock in black. I guess this one isn't either. Also, like most of the shoes I have purchased by Brooks, the shoelaces are really short. So far this seems like a good stability shoe. I have put about 100 miles of walking and jogging, worn it to office work, and done strength training in this shoe without aggravating my IT Band, so that is good. I STILL WANT A BLACK AND WHITE SHOE.

The Ariel GTS 24 runs narrow compared to other Brooks. The shoe laces are way too short (sounds silly, right)? But I could barely tie them. I reached out via chat and they recommended a wide, so I purchased a pair. They felt better width wise but it didn't help the issue with the shoe laces being too short. The shoes felt good support and just enough cushion to them. For me they just didn't make my fave list so I did return them. They really need to put longer laces on them...or offer longer ones that would match the shoes felt.

The shoe would have worked for me, but when I tried the shoes on the Left one was very tight in width. After comparing the Left and Right, the Left one was significantly more narrow. You could see it when put side by side. I cannot wear a pear of shoes like that.

Not a bad shoe but has some issues. Heavy overall, comfort is for running or walking but standing still you're not gonna feel much support.

I have discovered that shoes with guide rails are not for me. The arch hurts. The Glycerin GTS 22 that I previously purchased was especially painful for my feet after walking for a length of time. This Ariel GTS 24 doesn't seem as bad but I prefer not to take any chances. I was very happy with my Ariel 18. I recently purchased a Ghost 16 which has neutral support and I hope that works for me.

These fit great and are comfortable, but my only complaint is that they are NOT black per the description of ebony/black/white. I needed black shoes and these are a dark blue. Very disappointing.

I can't help but feel disappointed in this shoe, for my feet. I've loved the Ariel in the past, but this model just feels small, and it has taken a long time for the top edges in the front to soften up and stop hurting my foot. This recent model has never become comfortable for me, although I loved the previous model.

The new design with the tongue of the shoe is awful. They put a piece of elastic on one side so the tongue always slides to that side making it uncomfortable.

I like the structure on my left foot but after wearing them for a total of 2 hours, the right foot front right corner started feeling off and both sneakers squeak so much. They fit great and I haven't gotten them wet. I'm not sure why that right shoe is already breaking down or why they are squeaking so much.

3.5 Not enough cushion in sole. Otherwise they are firm, good support and fit. I need more cushion though.The bottom of my feet hurt.

These are ok. I have very wide feet and struggle with running shoes for that reason. The toe box on these is not as wide as the toe box on the Ariel GTS 23, so it is not quite as comfortable. They do feel a little lighter than the 23 version.

Very comfortable and supportive, but the shoes are not black. They are a dark grey/purplish/blue which I was honestly pretty bummed out about :/ They also don't have very good traction and if not careful you'll definitely slip and fall. I live in Oregon where it rains a ton and I've almost slipped on moss many times while out for walks.

Ordered these from store. I had tried a size 7 in store but when shoes came they were a size too small but they said they were a 7. I have to wonder if company labeled them wrong????

*shrug* I guess. I have them and I am wearing them. I have been wearing Brooks Ariels since ~2010 and muddled through multiple design changes. The demise of the Ariel and replacement with Ariel GTS is my least favorite. Ascetic is not-cute and somehow worse than prior Ariel, which was also not-cute but better than the GTS. I feel like the toe box is narrow and the rest of the shoe too wide/loose on my foot. What is nice is the cushion. It took me a bit to adjust to the feeling of bounce for support, but I think I like it. If they could give us a cute all-black or all-white this would be a happier review. As it stands now, I'm just being an adult wearing a "proper" shoe.

I have returned the Ariel Gts 24 two times because they squeak, and also my heel slips out.. I have been wearing Ariel's for at least 10 years which have been supportive and comfortable and non squeaky, accommodating my wide feet. But the 24s are terrible, and also do not have the cushioning and comfort the past version had. The Ariel 20 was super comfy. Bring it backand yes, the black is not black.
