Brooks Women's Ariel Running Shoe Reviews

• Brooks Ariel athletic shoes

  These shoes are the most comfortable and supportive shoe I have. I now own 4 pairs and intend to continue to get this product. I do wish they made them in different colors--I hate to wear white ones all year. I'd love a pair of black or gray Ariels but they don't make them. My feet need good cushioning and this shoe is really cushioned!I HIGHLY recommend it for "finicky" feet!
  
  

• Comfy shoe for overpronators

  
  By A3JABB4NAPKLC0 on 2007-10-30
  I have flat feet and overpronate. This shoe has good structuring--I've had no foot pain, minimal knee pain, etc. while jogging in these--while remaining very comfy. I've previously had some shoes for overpronators that corrected, but were not fun for jogging, like some of the New Balance 850-something series. Other shoes that were great for overpronators--like Adidas old Equipment Ride model, got discontinued and converted into other models that weren't as good.
  
  I bought a full size up compared to the standard high heel pump size I wear, because I wear highly padded jogging socks, and found that size worked well. I have bunions, and this shoe had a large enough forefoot to accomodate that. For most people, going up a half size is probably sufficient.
  
  My only complaints are that 1) the first few days, the heel chafed a little--I worried it went up too high on the back of the heel. I took them off, let my feet rest a few days, wore them again, took a break, etc. and the problem went away within the first 5 or so wears. Other complaint--this shoe is boringly colored. The white and medium blue color I have does nothing for me....

  I need the ariel shoe because of diabetes problems and wide feet. They fit very well. I was buying from a store in the town where I live @ almost double the price. I was very glad to find them on Amazon.com. The price is terrific. It is worth waiting for it to be shipped. They come within a week and I am very happy with the product, price,speedy develivery time.
  
  

• Comfortable!

  
  By AN4UPQW6LG8QD on 2008-02-27
  I did a lot of research to find the right shoes. I am not a runner but wanted a shoe that would fit and support my feet while I walked since I have a bad knee. Amoung other issues with my feet they are also very wide so I was a little hesitant about buying a pair of shoes without trying them on first. I have not had one inch of problems with the Brooks. They fit great and are very comfortable. I did not have to go through a "break-in period" like I do with most shoes I purchase. The shoes feel like they were made for me! I will buy this shoe again!

  I ordered the shoes through Amazon. About one week later I got an email stating they did not have the advertised item and they cancelled my order.
  
  
• love these shoes
  By A1EMBK4PHSW348 on 2007-01-10
  These are the most comfortable shoes I have worn in a long time. I am not a runner but a two times a day dog walker and they are great. I plan on stocking up on this style.
  
  
• excellent quality
  By AGWPUEHXY51VZ on 2008-02-15
  I purchased this shoe online for my wife as it helps her with her balance ans arch support. However, the sizes seem to run very small. In most shoes she wears a 6 1/2 to 7 but in this shoe we had to return the original purchase and reorder a 7 1/2 D. Still she has trouble putting the shoes on. Once on, the shoes are excellent.
  
  
• I have 5 pairs!
  By A1485UYYECEEL9 on 2008-03-22
  I have wide feet and a high instep. This shoe is available in a double wide size (yep, that's my foot). This is the ONLY pair of shoes that feels wonderful on my feet. I find they run very true to size. The shoes fit a bit snuggly when I first purchase them, but the mesh does stretch. This model is the 4th generation of this shoe I've purchased, have a total of about 5 pairs. I wash them in the machine and they come out fine. My only complaint is that the mesh is a little chilly in the winter, wish it were available in a leather, or less porous fabric as well. If I can't wear these shoes to an event, I don't go.
  
  
• My umpteenth pair
  By ABOZEK8V8BLGU on 2008-06-27
  The Ariel sells itself! Prescribed by my podiatrist as an everyday shoe years ago, it's the only shoe I wear, except when I must (painfully) don grownup shoes for a most special occasion. Ariel comfortably holds an orthodic and wears long and well. I do not run, but walk nearly 10,000 steps daily without the pain that used to dog me. This shoe has been a life-style saver for me.

  These are the best shoe. I have arthritis and neuropathy. I have been having a very difficult time with shoes that don't hurt my feet. If you get these shoes extra wide then you have a good chance of much less foot pain. They are true to size and are very comfortable.
  
  
• Brooks Women's Ariel
  By A26JCVTBQAJDNV on 2008-07-26
  My foot doctor recommended this shoes for support and help with my plantar fascitis. I love them! They do give plenty of ankle support and have a firm sole which I needed. I buy a new pair or two each year because I use these to excercise in plus yard work and vacations.
  
  
• Best shoes!
  By A2V2S1IHKJ5L81 on 2008-07-27
  These shoes are fantastic! I saved over $50 buying them on Amazon rather than in the store--and I got the exact same pair!
  
  
• Awesome
  By A23P6SKXQZYOW9 on 2008-08-09
  I love those shoes. They safed my feet. I have plantar fasciatis and now I am training for a half marathon. The shoes together with the poly sorb insoles are the best shoes I have ever had. I am so thanksful for the support they give me. It is important, to rotate them. I have 2 pairs. The newer one is for running and exercising, and the older one is for chores. That gives Pair # 1 time to relax from the foot pressure. The green Ariel have better support then the blue ones. If you go to a speciality shoe store, they can find and fit the right shoes for your feets individual need. I love the Ariel!
  
  
• Great Shoe for Problem feet or if you work on your feet
  By A11P815NOLS3KH on 2008-08-30
  This is a very comfortable shoe. It is cool mesh in a silvery gray color not white with a beautiful mint green and silver accents. Fits true to size and very comfortable to me. This is my 2nd pair of Brooks and I have bought a pair for my husband who has flat feet and he loves his dark gray and black pair also. Seem to wear well. I have also washed my other pair in the washer and it does well. They take foot orthotics easily since they have a removable foot pad.
  
  
• Podiatrist recommended
  By AP8MDRG4D15YW on 2008-09-06
  I have serious problems with my feet related to chemo 8 years ago. My podiatrist recommended these shoes for the support they give your feet. Brooks shoes have a steel shank for support in the sole, much like those old white baby shoes used to have years ago. It has made a world of difference in how I walk, and for how long I can be on my feet in a day. Highly recommended
