Brooks Ariel -
The Brooks Women's Ariel Running Shoes and its brother shoe The Beast® are running's leading Control shoes because they deliver the perfect mix of stability and comfort, pampering runners with low or flat arches and excessive pronation. This triumph of technology has been taken to new heights in this update. Now empowered with brand-new, patent pending full-length Brooks DNA, the Ariel provides heel-to-toe protection for your foot while dynamically serving up an individually customized ride with optimal cushioning. Weight 12.3 oz. The midsole features Brooks DNA, full length BioMoGo, Extended Progressive Diagonal rollbar (DRB), DRB Accel, and full length S-257 Cushsole. The outsole features HPR Plus, HPR Green and Forefoot MC Pod Construction. The upper features Ultimate Sockliner, Moisture-managing Element Mesh, Synthetic Overlay Materials, Moisture-managing Element Linings, and Internal Support Saddle. Brooks DNA–Brooks DNA is a groundbreaking cushioning material that provides a customized ride for runners of all sizes and speeds. Working with BioMoGo, Brooks DNA responds to your every step, dispersing impact and providing ideal comfort and protection as the pace changes. When there is low impact the polymer chain interactions are loose and flexible. When there is medium impact the polymer chain interactions start to strengthen. And, when there is high impact the polymer chain interactions are strong and tight. BIOMOGO–We've taken the long-lasting cushioning of our MoGo midsole and made it environmentally friendly. How, you ask? By adding a non-toxic, natural additive to the MoGo compound that encourages anaerobic microbes to munch away once it hits the landfill. BiMoGo midsoles debuted in the spring of 2009 and set the bar for green innovation in the footwear industry. Here's a quick refresher course on the award-winning technology: BioMoGo is a non-toxic, natural additive that encourages anaerobic microbes to break down the midsole into reusable byproducts once it his an active, enclosed landfill. Traditional EVA midsoles can last up to 1,000 years in a landfill. BioMoGo breaks down 50 times faster. BioMoGo midsoles will save 29.9 million pounds of landfill waste in roughly 20-25 years. Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (PDRB®)–Our tri-density PDRB® midsoles are biomechanically engineered to allow for progressive pronation control and to create smoother transitions from the midstance phase into the propulsion phase. DRB® ACCEL–Enhances tunable torsion of the midfoot. Shank-like thermoplastic devices vary from single units of a set modulus, to dualunit versions of varied modulus (tuned with higher stiffness for medial support, the lateral side less stiff to smooth the ride). HPR Plus–A higher durability, abrasion-resistant rubber outsole compound that wears longer. HPR Green–This durable and long-wearing outsole compound is made with dispersed silica, resulting in premium wet-dry traction for excellent skid-resistance and a more environmentally friendly composition. ENGINEERED MC POD CONFIGURATION–Midsole and outsole components are engineered to set the foot up in an efficient, balanced position from heel strike to toe-off, offering maximum stability and responsiveness. ELEMENT–Upper technology featuring superior microfiber construction to provide weather protection in a light, supple, quiet fabric that doesn't sacrifice breathability, durability, or comfort.

Reviews:
I have plantar fasciitis in both feet and was told by my physical therapist that I needed to look into purchasing a pair of Brooks shoes in order to get my feet back to normal. As I had been wearing orthotics for over five years (with no help), I thought I would give your product a try. I went onto your website, watched the videos, was very impressed with the stability made into these shoes and I bought my first pair, the Brooks Ariel. I absolutely love them! I have never had a pair of shoes that I could wear all day and not have to take off immediately upon entering my home. I can wear my shoes all day long and not have to take them off until I get ready for bed! That sounds funny, but with the pain of plantar fasciitis, and not having the proper shoe for so long, this is a great accomplishment for me. These shoes are great, comfortable, and smart-looking. I have had orthotics and ugly shoes that had to be worn with them for too many years. Now I feel freedom to wear a pretty shoe and still have shoes that are healing my feet at the same time. Keep up the good work, I tell everybody with foot problems about your shoes, I even have my husband wearing your shoes now and that was a great accomplishment as he had his own type of shoe that he wore all the time, but now he is wearing Brooks and loving them. He cannot believe the experience and he has no foot problems. I could go on and on, but I will cut it off here. Thank you and keep those shoes coming.
Have been wearing the Ariel for years and this new one fits a bit differently - apparently they have re-designed the front toe area to be a little longer/wider. Great if you need the extra toe room, but I went back and forth with sizes (thanks Zappos for the easy returns/exchanges!). My usual size 12 felt extra big, and I exchanged it for an 11 but that was too small. So I re-ordered the 12. They are okay but the heel area comes up a bit higher than it did in the older model, and it pulls my short running socks down inside the shoe - annoying! But love the shoe so I just bought new socks. Bottom line - still a sturdy shoe with excellent stability and arch support, but new styling results in a tad different fit. Worth a try!
These are the most comfortable running shoes I have ever worn. I have been going to the gym & after getting tired of my feet hurting, in addition to the blisters; I got measured. Found out I needed a EE; tried the New Balence 1st & took them back for these Brooks...with no regret...I wear them all the time & have not had any problems. Workouts are cushy & smooth now. My feet feel so good & Zappos even has EE dress shoes. Happy feet! Love this site!
These shoes are great. I hesitated to buy a running shoe for walking only. I'm glad I reconsidered. I have bad knees, wide, bunioned feet and I'm heavy. But I'm trying to change that and get moving. These are great for walking. They're sturdy and supportive and no pain after long walks. Highly recommend!
Great shoes. Good arch support helps with knee pain. My physical therapist recommended these, and they are fantastic.
