Brooks Ariel - Women's Motion Control Running and Walking Shoes

Brooks Ariel Motion Control Running and Walking Shoes for Women: Podiatrist Approved, Eco Friendly Shoe with Exceptional Cushioning

Brooks Ariel Women's Motion Control Running and Walking Shoes are ideal for walkers and runners with sensitive feet or low arches because they provide additional support when exercising to prevent excessive-pronation or arch pain. The Brooks Ariel is also a good choice of athletic shoe if you're trying to be more eco friendly. This environmentally responsible walking and running shoe is designed to decompose in landfill conditions at a faster rate than most athletic shoes. The Brooks Ariel provides the wearer with progressive motion control which keeps your stride ergonomically healthy to prevent injuries while still providing enough flexibility so that your foot doesn't feel overly restricted. Wearers will feel extra cushioning during each step due to Brooks DNA: a first-of-its-kind cushioning system that works at a molecular level to provide each individual wearer customized cushioning and stability. Brooks DNA is made with highly viscous non-Newtonian fluid - a liquid that doesn't follow the natural laws of physics because it actually firms up upon impact and adapts to the different amounts of forces that are applied. This means that wearers will gain adaptable cushioning no matter the speed of their gate, their shoe size or weight.

The Brooks Ariel Women's Motion Control Running and Walking Shoe has these features:

• Mesh microfiber upper is light, supple, quiet, and provides weather protection
• Progressive pronation control
• Caterpillar Crash Pad (CCP) offers a stable and smooth heel to toe transition by providing added cushioning
• Internal support saddle provides increased joint support and controls mid-foot dysfunction
• Brooks DNA: cushioning material made of individual molecules connected in strands and chains that react to the amount of force placed on the foot - located in the rearfoot and forefoot areas of the midsole
• Footbed uses Brooks MoGo cushioning design for a cushy first feel that doesn't fade and doesn’t reduce stability
• Tuned Density Midsole (TDM) provides balanced cushioning that's not too firm or soft
• Flextra offers extra tuned flexibility in the forefoot area of the outsole
• Progressive, yet powerful motion control
• Midsole/outsole is specially designed to provide optimum metatarsal support to enhance propulsion
• Extended Progressive Diagonal Rollbar allows for a smoother transition from mid-stance phase to propulsion phase
• Thermoplastic shank provides additional support and stability without sacrificing flexibility
• Exceptional support helps prevent and relieve pain from plantar fasciitis
• HPR Plus Green outsole is made of highly durable, abrasion-resistant rubber and dispersed silica that provides exceptional wet/dry traction
• HPR Plus Green outsole is an eco friendly outsole designed to efficiently decompose in landfill conditions
• Omega Flex Grooves enhance flexibility at the midsole without compromising cushioning
• Removable insole accommodates custom orthotics
• A podiatrist recommended running shoe for over-pronators and those with flat feet
• Broad midfoot and wide toe box provide extra room for foot deformities such as bunions, hammertoes, and corns
• A5500 SADMERC approved for use as medical and diabetic footwear

Overall: Comfort: Look: 
Shoe Size: Felt true to size
Shoe Width: Felt true to width
Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support

They balance my wobbly feet, make me feel like I can go for miles and miles and I can wear them all day with no pain. I paired these with Biosole insoles for a killer combination! A bit pricey, but totally worth the outcome!
