Product Details

Support Type Heel-to-Toe Drop (mm) Cushioning

Style: 120219

A little pronation can be a good thing, but too much can put more wear on your joints than it should, shortening your runs and potentially leading to injuries. But thanks to the Extended Progressive DRB built into the Brooks Ariel 16 Women's Running Shoe, you get the support you need to correct overpronation and put in as many miles as you want. That's because the DRB Accel material focuses on supporting your midfoot, preventing arch collapse while leaving your forefoot free to flex naturally and improving stability. The durable Super DNA polymer built into the midsole provides 25% more cushion than standard Brooks DNA, and the S-257 Cushsole provides support as well as helping to absorb the impact of each step.

KEY FEATURES
  • Super DNA uses the same adaptable non-Newtonian polymer as standard Brooks DNA, but with 25% more cushion
  • Extended Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (DRB) for maximum support even for over-pronators
  • S-257 Cushsole puts durable, supportive midsole material into the shoe to serve as the insole board
