Customer Reviews Brooks Ariel GTS 24

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.

Tried wearing them once, disappointed in the fit, I have the BROOKS Ghost shoes the same size (13 M) women's, and the ARIEL 13M is smaller, shorter on toe. I thought with the same brand the fit would be the same. Also the foot pad in the Ariel is bumpy which I find annoying since they hit under toes awkwardly, not comfortable. I'm returning them. I used your test size guide quiz and the BROOKS shoes recommended don't come in women's 13. I hope you can fix this issue.

These shoes have great cushion and support, but they slip on my heals. I wear a women's size 9 wide (D-width) in Ghosts and they fit great. I used the fit guide quiz to land on the Ariel GTS 24, and the heals slipped with every step. I returned them for a pair of the new Ghosts and they don't slip at all.

Ariel GTS 24 I hoped to love these. I have had Brooks Adrenalin and Brooks Ghost. I have plantar fasciitis and metatarsal pain. I need great arch support. Ariel GTS 24 have only mediocre arch support. Additionally, they have not helped with the metatarsal pain at all. I am very disappointed in them.

These are by far my favorite running shoes! They are cushy and so comfortable for linger runs and walking.

They look nice but these are uncomfortable and they squeak when you walk

These shoes are BLUE, not a shade of black as they are shown in the pictures. I'm incredibly disappointed. I needed these shoes for a trip that I'm leaving for tomorrow! I love my current Brooks but they are too big on me now. I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews about quality going down and I hope that it can be resolved. If there are any BLACK shoes that are good for stability, I'd consider trying them out.

Very different from the 23. These feel heavier and much stiffer (so much so that makes foot angry) and I am not liking these at all yet loved the 23s. Hope the 25s are better or I will have to find a different shoe.

Please bring back the old versions. I have worn the Ariel for over 20 years. The tongue and laces are too short. The colors are not exciting. The black is actually navy. The width has changed. Wide is very narrow. Again go back to the old versions .

I have purchased this same size and style for over a decade, but the current generation has major flaws: Pros: The lace loops are more durable, and the under-foot support is still good. Happy they have neutral colors and more minimalist design (such as black.. though this one is more of a blue black than the black from last generation). Cons: Durability has plummeted dramatically (they last only ~2 months), and the toe box has been narrowed significantly to the point of causing bruising on my toes. I usually buy in bulk, but due to these issues, I am donating my extras and switching brands until these fundamentals are corrected.

I was so hopeful after reading reviews that these shoes were going to help with my foot pain and over pronation. Sadly, they ended up injuring my foot and now I have new pain that I didn't have before wearing them. At first they seemed great but after a week or so, I was in so much pain. I think they were over correcting because now I have pain on the outside of my foot but the plantar fasciitis pain is gone. They probably work great for some people but unfortunately not me.

The heel is way too loose. I feel like it runs bigger than previous ones. I bought the same size I usually get in the Adrenaline. I probably should have returned them but I've run in them a couple of times now before I realized the slipping and now I feel like it's too late.

This shoe helped me deal with my first bout of plantar fasciitis 23 years ago and has kept me walking 3 miles a day until my latest purchase of the Ariel GTS 24. It's too narrow in the toe box and overall width in my 7 W. The 2E--extra wide--leaves too much room and negates the stability feature of the Ariel that I need for my pronation. So now at 72 I have to try to find another shoe with the width, stability, and cushioning I need. I'm not optimistic.

I found these shoes to be much too stiff (even for GTS) without not enough cushion. I also found the toe box to be much too tight.

I might have to return them. For some reason my little toe hurts and gets red when I wear them. They are kind of rough inside, even though they are supposed to be wide. I took out the soles and put my inner soles into them, but I still feel that I am not satisfied. I'll keep testing them, my daughter really loves hers.
