Ariel GTS 26

StabilityReleased 2026-05-14AU

Ariel GTS 26 is a maximum-support stability shoe for running, walking and orthotic use. GuideRails is now co-molded into the midsole to reduce components and weight, working with a broad base to support natural motion. Nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 provides soft, durable cushioning for wear. A roomy upper accommodates varied foot shapes, a heel pull tab eases entry, and RoadTack rubber adds road grip and durability.

Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
Brooks US official women's product page lists 11.2 oz / 317.5 g. The Brooks Australia article's rounded 315 g figure is retained only as regional context and is not used for the display value.
Plate note
The exact Brooks US product page and Brooks Australia technology article describe GuideRails, DNA LOFT v3, the 36/26 mm stack, and the upper in detail without identifying a carbon structure. It is therefore classified as non-carbon under the complete-spec policy.
