Customer Reviews Brooks Ariel GTS 24

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!

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 am not a runner, and bought these for more regular daily use. I purchased these from my local sporting goods store. I feel they run small. I did have to go up a full size from my normal shoe size. I've only worn them a few times but they seem comfortable and very supportive. The color is more navy than black. I didn't really notice this until I wore them out in the sun, inside they look like a soft black. Overall, they seem like a decent shoe so far.

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.

Ariel GTS 24 gives me very good support. I wear orthodics, need good support. and wear size 13 medium. I highly recommend Ariel GTS 24. Before Ariel GTS 24, I wore Brooks Ladies Addiction Walkers size 12B for many, many years. I learned last year that one of my feet changed from 12 to 12.5. Thus, I now need size 13. Brooks, please make the ladies Addiction Walker in size 13B. I implore you please.

I have been wearing this style the last few years, and this one is not as comfortable-- feels like not as cushioned my old ones once were.

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 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 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.

Brooks - PLEASE BRING BACK THE PEACOAT COLOR.

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.

Love everything about these shoes, except the toe boxit needs to be wider. Great arch support and comfort otherwise. I've been dealing with plantar fasciitis and my feet feel better in these than any of my other shoes. I don't have wide feet (closer to normal/narrow actually) but I think I'll buy another pair in wide to see if the fit is better.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
