This shoe is perfect for men with bunions or just old arthritic feet.

The size and fit are excellent just like the Adrenaline GTS 23. And the insoles are better than the Adrenaline GTS 23. I don't regret spending the money on these shoes
I'd also recommend:
No other brands just Brooks.

Best shoes I've ever worn. Not really for running other than a short jog, because they're heavy, but if you need support and stability OMG these shoes are amazing! Very comfortable, well made, and with my flat feet and some balance issues I just love wearing these shoes all day long and using them like cross trainers at the gym. Better than any prior versions of the Beast too.

Love the cushioning in this model. Mainly bought it to use for walking, but I wear it all the time now. The side rails give me stability unlike any other sneaker I've owned. The XX wide width causes zero cramping. They are pricey but so worth it. Will be purchasing again when I need a new pair.

I have flat as a pancake arches and have found the Brooks Beast to be the best shoe for me. The Beast 23s I just bought are replacing my Beast 20s I have used for power walks for the last 4 years. The Beast 23s are true to size and very supportive. The out sole has a slant to the outside of the foot that really helps to counteract my foot's tendency to roll to the inside. This allows me to walk 4 or 5 miles every other day without any pain in my hips, knees or arches. The materials and construction look to be the same on the Beast 20 and 23 so I expect they will be very durable. I highly recommend them.

I work in healthcare and am on my feet for 10+ hours per day and need a shoe with good support. I've tried several brands and this is the only shoe I'll wear.

This is a return to form for Brooks, as the Beast 20 was a terrible shoe—not substantial and durable like previous examples. The 23GTS follows the tested construction and style that’s made this shoe a go-to for big guys and pronate runners. As much as I hated the 20, I love the 23GTS!

This shoe is the best sneaker I've ever had on my feet, super comfortable, durable, and able to withstand those long runs.
Thank you Brooks for designing the best sneaker on the market today!

I have worn the Beast for many years. I have an orthotic on one foot and a foot/ankle brace on the other. They have to fit the shoe, and I need the stability. I am always concerned when a new model comes out. This model is more comfortable than the previous one. The cushioning feels softer and springy and the shoe feels somewhat lighter. The fit is accurate. My main complaint about the previous models is that they don't last very long given the price. It's too early to tell if that has changed.

This is my 3rd pair of the beast & the new ones seems to have a more firm fit on my feet as I break them in. Best athletic shoes for my workouts.

The men's extra wide shoe is the only one I have found to fit over my brace and still provide the comfort and flexibility I need. Thanks also for the help with the second pair of matching shoes to wear on my non-braced foot!

First let me say I'm not a runner. I am recovering from total knee replacement surgery and I wanted a good shoe that was comfortable and reliable on all surfaces to help with my recovery. Love the fact that this shoe comes in 3 widths which I need the 4E option. The shoe is one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever purchased, easy to get on and off, really grips whatever surface I'm walking on and it looks terrific. So happy with this shoe and sure I'll be looking for more Brooks shoes in the future.

I love them! I walk. Being in my late 70'd I need good ankle support. These are the best. Already have two pairs of other Brooks shoe but these are my go to's.Only issue is getting another pair as they are out.

My husband has flat feet & fallen arches.. Our podiatrist told him this would be the most helpful thing he could do is to order these shoes. Omygosh.. Best thing in the world. A ton of support & no pain as he walks! He absolutely loves them!
