Customer Reviews Brooks Ariel GTS 24

The fit is great. Nice and wide for my annoying bunion. Wish I'd known about the guiderails a long time ago. My foot is not going anywhere. Had to give up some cushioning for the stability. So for daily wear I found the Addiction. It's a bit better on cushioning and still has guiderails.

I'm very pleased with the shoes. They fit well and they are very well made.

Overall the Ariel GTS 24 is great - comfortable and supportive. I don't "run" except on my job and the concrete floors are brutal. This shoe has, as noted in the descriptions, maximum support, as opposed to the Ghost styles, which are noted as neutral. I love my Ghosts for walking and shopping, etc. but the Ariels are SO much better for me at work. I love both styles! Side note: One thing was weird...The tongue of the Ariel was attached on one side, inside the shoe, by an elastic band. The elastic broke as I was pulling up the tongue to put on the shoe. I could see no reason for the band, especially as it pulled the tongue uncomfortably to one side, so I cut it off.

Brooks are the best for my feet. I love the ghost but I needed even more support for work. Ariel GTS 24 is amazing. Fit is great and sizing is accurate. No foot pain at all from hard cement floors at work

There is nothing I don't love about this show. It's the perfect combination of comfort and support. I'm super happy with these and my feet are, too!

Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn! Every step is like a little spring board is bouncing me forward. I didn't even have to "break them in!" After one week, I ordered a second pair.

I am 87 years old so I don't run, but I have worn the Ariel shoe for several years because of its fit. The arch support and the closeness of the shoe around my ankle makes me feel secure when I go for walks.

Brilliant design Light but sturdy

These shoes fit very well. I purchased the coconut/ chateau/ portabella color combination and I think that color scheme is attractive & neutral so the shoes will go with almost everything. At first, I thought the shoes looked a little "boxy", but then after wearing them, I realized that was only from the perspective of me looking straight down from a standing position. After wearing them several times while walking long distances, I found them to be very comfortable and giving me all the support I needed. They fit true to size. I wear a 7 in "normal" shoes but always order an 8 in athletic shoes. The 8 fit like it was made for me. The only thing I don't like about this shoe is that the sides of the bottom area is a very light cream color so I think that area will show dirt easily. Please make in more colors! They seem a little more difficult to get on my feet than the other Brooks shoes I have. I don't know what the explanation is for that.

I wear these shoes while taking my dog on her daily brisk walk thru woods!! My feet feel quite stable and energized!

OMG I felt like I was walking on clouds!! My feet don't hurt after my walks and I look forward to another day of walking.

Best athletic shoe I've ever owned. I need maximum support for a previously injured foot and ankle and this shoe gives it too me. I own six pairs.

Absolutely love these shoes! I am a physical therapist and a farm girls so I am on my feet a lot. I have nerve damage in my feet and these are the only shoes I have found that I can wear without my custom orthotics. I also have plantar fasciitis and they work well for the condition for me. I have had other styles of brooks and I have had to use my orthotics in them, if I do then I have to size up a half size, but with these I can wear my normal size. Thanks brooks!! Please don't change them! But I do wish they came in more colors.

I have developed a condition called PTTD where I get micro tears in a tendon that build scar tissue which shortens the tendon which then pulls on the ankle when I walk. Very painful. I'm 70 and apparently this is not an uncommon condition, particularly if you have flat feet, as I do. I've been wearing other Brooks shoes, but switched to these when the situation got worse. I spoke w/a customer service rep who said these were the most supportive shoes. They are really quite incredible. Been wearing for around 3 weeks and pain has dramatically lessened which means my ankle is being better supported when I walk so the tendon isn't being overly stretched and tearing! So grateful since I've been on vacation and walking about 3 miles a day. Many thanks to Brooks which makes such a commitment to foot/leg health!

Very stable and fit perfectly

Great shoe. I wish there was more color choices.

I have worn several different Brooks shoes. Ariel GTS is by far the most comfortable. It has a great cushion and great support. I am 84 years old and I recommend them for any senior who enjoys walking. I just wish they came in more colors.

These are my go-to shoes. I need extra support due to having pronation, and these have been really helpful in preventing that.

I am not a runner but have been looking for comfortable, supportive sneakers because I do walk a lot. These are the best I have found. Cushioned, supportive, roomy toe box. I can wear them all day and no complaints. Bought 2nd pair just in case. Wish they came in more colors.

I love these shoes!!! They are the most comfortable and lightest tennis shoes I have ever owned!! Highly recommend

I have arthritis and neuropathy in my feet. These shoes are instant comfort when I put them on.

Really wonderful balance for me. I run in them but i also use them as a work shoe (horse trainer, own the barn, do i am on my feet 14 hours a day).
