I needed a really good supportive shoe that corrected my over-pronation problem. I went to a sporting goods store and tried various shoes. There was always something that was amiss with what I tried. Then I was handed a pair of Brooks shoes, and found a new best friend for my feet. I am a retail merchandiser and my days are spent on hard concrete floors, walking quite a bit. Once I got these shoes, my workdays became less painful. I no longer came home from work with backaches and sore legs and feet.

My initial hesitation in buying these shoes was the price. I'm SO glad I invested in the Ariel...
