Brooks Ariel Review

Shoe Size: Felt true to size

I bought this shoe for the stability it offers a moderate over-pronator. It has very good stability, although when compared to the similar New Balance shoe, it is not as good.

Brooks Ariel Review

I have never been disappointed with Brooks shoes, especially the Ariel model. They fit perfect and are the best for walking. This is my third pair of this style. Buying them through Shoe Buy is perfect. No hassles or headaches.

Ahhh these sneakers love my orthodics and funny flat feet!
September 14, 2009Reviewer: Nana on the Go from Orlando, FL area
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
The shoes I ordered are wide and they were all tightly laced up when I got them - so I am still adjusting laces because they seem too tight, but I am also adding my full foot 1/4 inch thick orthodics (arch supports)to the shoe. The shoes have a lovely liner, nice and cushy - but not enough arch support for my flat flipper feet. I am not thrilled with the gray color, but love the airy mesh which is cool for FL heat. But the toe box is good, I can wiggle the pinkies! The shape is great as they are wide across the bunions and I can do my aerobic walking in these. I almost bought two pairs when I ordered them on sale, but wanted to be sure they fit. I like the really white sneakers but may get used to the gray - they won't show the dirt. The color will not keep me from buying another pair of these - I hope they keep making them!!! I also want to see if they don't wear out on the outside edge since they are specifically for over-pronators (me)and what the walking difference will be. My usual sneakers get worn down on the outside edge and then I turn my ankles, so I have to get new ones.
Wears this shoe: Whenever I can, my new job is not sneaker casual. 90% of weekend :-)
Very Pleased with this shoe

I was skeptical from other reviews as to how good this shoe was, because they all claimed to be comfortable. They were all true to their word, it is one of the most comfortable shoes I have worn, and its helped me to walk, when other shoes hurt my knees and feet. This has helped keep my back aligned so that I can walk in comfort. Is slightly narrow in width, so will probably order a wider shoe next time. Will continue to order this shoe in future.

Brooks Ariel - A GREAT shoe!
August 18, 2009Reviewer: Debby from Middlefield OHIO
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
This is my second pair of Brook's shoes, my first pair of Ariel's. I read somehwere this shoe was better for the heavier person, so that is what prompted me to buy as I am heavier and have trouble with plantar fascitis. This shoe is wonderful !!! I haven't put the inserts in yet and have worn them 3-4 days and am not sure I need the inserts! I would definitely recommend these shoes. I'm sold! I have the Brook's Addiction shoe with the my orthotics and use them for home use, the Ariel's I'm using for work, shopping, etc. Both types of shoes are well worth the money and I'm glad I have them!
Wears this shoe: Work, shopping, casual wear going out to eat, etc.

Brooks lover
August 11, 2009Reviewer: Mary from Newark, OH
Shoe Size: Felt true to size

I love Brooks shoes and the Ariel doesn't disappoint. These are "put them on out of the box and go" shoes that come in multiple widths (which is critical for me). They are made of a sort of mesh which helps keep your feet cool,too. I highly recommend this shoe because it is difficult to find such comfort and fit any place else.

Badly Constructed?
July 27, 2009Reviewer: Ruth B. from San Francisco Bay Area
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
I have had several pairs of Brooks Addiction walking shoes, but the Ariels got a great review, so I ordered a pair. I have big, flat, over-pronating feet. However, the left shoe of my pair has lumpy stitching where the tongue is sewn in. I can feel it, and I may have to return the shoes. Except for this flaw, they seem light, super flexible, and comfortable with or without my pronation-correcting orthotics.

Excellent shoe for foot problems
July 16, 2009Reviewer: Kathy from Brookings, SD

This is the first time I have ever tried a Brooks shoe, and I am pleased with it. I decided to try this shoe because it was available in an extra wide width. I have had difficulty finding a comfortable walking shoe due to a bunion below one of my little toes which has made it necessary for me to wear a wide shoe. I am able to wear the Brooks 'Ariel' without feeling discomfort. I also suffer from plantar fasciitis, and find that I can walk quite comfortably because the footbed has a fairly good amount of cushioning. I wish it had even more cushioning in the footbed, but this works quite well with a heavy sock. I am glad that I have finally found a walking shoe that feels comfortable in spite of my foot problems.

Awesome Shoe!

I just started wearing custom orthotics and was recommended this particular shoe. Not only do these shoes accommodate orthotic insoles without any awkward fit issues, but they are extremely stylish while offering so much support. It's nice to find a shoe this supportive without having to sacrifice looks or style.

Fantastic Shoe
June 17, 2009Reviewer: Maureen H from Los Angeles, CA
Shoe Size: Felt half size smaller than marked
Shoe Width: Felt narrower than marked
I wear a custom hard orthotic - my right foot is extremely pronated. I can wear this shoe without the orthotic. It holds me up and is extremely comfortable. I have not been able to wear a shoe without the orthotic for more than 8 years. This one I can, and it is so comfortable. I plan on seeing if they make any more shoes with this sole.
Wears this shoe: to work and on week-ends - so... almost always
