Women's Ariel GTS 24 Running Sneakers from Finish Line
Product details
Web ID: 24524601Great for walking too!
First, I am not a runner because I have arthritis in a hip. I do walk at least 2 miles outside. I was wearing another brand of shoe that was "cushy" but did not keep my foot from turning inward when I walked. The minute I put on these shoes, my gait changed and my feet and hips felt so supported. Please keep making these with the same support and in more colors!!

Great walking shoe
My podiatrist recommended brooks for support and stability. The inserts and sole really give me the support I need. I originally ordered a medium but, was surprised how narrow they were. I think it was in part to the curvature of the insert. I reordered them in wide and they worked perfectly. I like the sleek look of the shoe. I would recommend them to anyone needing more stability in a shoe.

Toe Box is too Narrow
I would have loved to wear the Ariel GTD 24 but I found the toe box too narrow and I could not tolerate that. Tried for a long time. Everything else was great so this was a disappointment. Luckily I was able to order the Brooks Beast and after a few tries I settled on a size that works for me. The cushioning and support is just great and I have severe pronation in one foot. I have never wanted to wear a men’s shoe but in this case it worked out very well. If changes are made to the toe box in the Ariel I will try those again.

Ariel 24
Please bring back the old versions. I have worn the Ariel for over 20 years. The tongue and laces are too short. The colors are not exciting. The black is actually navy. The width has changed. Wide is very narrow. Again go back to the old versions .

Best supportive shoes
These were recommended by a podiatrist for good support dealing with plantar fasciitis. They come in XX wide as well which are a life saver for me. I'm 65 as reference.

Perfect support for over pronation.
Have been wearing the Ariel series for years and am never disappointed. Perfect for someone with extreme over pronation.

Just a one star
Not sure why these shoes hurt my feet so bad but they make my toes and heels hurt. Usually, I wear Adrenalines but was referred to these. Will not buy these again and can't wear the ones I just bought as they kill my feet. I'll stick with the Adrenalines in the future. These might be great for other folks but not me.

Very disappointed with downgrade
I must say I was very disappointed by this upgrade in Ariel GTS24. I made a switch to Ariel GTS23 from Adrenaline GTS in 2023 due to Adrenaline line becoming narrower and less supportive of foot/ankle in an effort to shave the weight. Ariel GTS23 was a superb shoe, my feet and ankle felt so stable and grounded as the shoe hugged my feet firmly. It was a bit heavier but not a big deal. I bought Ariel GTS23 twice and have run 3 marathon races in them, and retired one at 380 miles. When the second one was due for retirement, my size was no longer available anywhere on the internet. So I bought Ariel GTS24 a month before my marathon race. I ran a 5k race, a few 3-6 milers, a 13-miler and a 18-miler. The shoe sole was hard as rock, the shoe tongue was rubbing the front of my feet, and my ankle didn't feel the stability of being hugged by the shoe as GTS23 did before. After the 2 long runs, my feet were sore and my knees were in pain. I had to stop running for 2.5 weeks and just went to a race without putting in a 20-miler, which I always do before a marathon race. I knew my feet and legs would be destroyed if I did. I ended up running the marathon race in my retired Ariel GTS23, and they did great for me. No foot pain or knee pain. I don't know what Brooks did with Ariel GTS24. I'm returning this shoes. I contacted Brooks and they recommended me to go back to Adrenaline GTS24 if I wanted to have the same support I had with Ariel GTS23. What?! So yes, I'm temporarily going back to Adrenaline GTS24 WIDE (because Adrenaline has gotten significantly narrow) and really hoping that Arial GTS25 will come with old good features.
