Customer Reviews Brooks Beast GTS 24

I feel Brooks did a great job updating the Beast. I'm 6'3" and used to weight 255lbs. I had trouble finding shoes to walk and jog in that supported my feet without eventually giving way to foot pain. The Beast was the first shoe I found that consistently provided the comfort and support I needed. I loved walking and jogging in the shoe but felt it wasn't supportive enough when doing lateral aerobic movements. The new Beast seems to be a bit firmer for jogging and walking without sacrificing comfort. They also provide the lateral support I was looking for, though I have yet to put them to the test. I was looking for a new shoe to address my needs, then I saw the video Brooks put out on the upgrades to the Beast. Because of the video I purchased my fourth pair Beast, which I wasn't disappointed. Again, great job on the improvements I will continue being a Brooks customer!

There is a defect in the design of this shoe. The insert does not but tightly against the sides resulting in a gap all around the insert. This allows a sinking go the foot on the edges resulting in a possible abrasion, in this case of my little toe

Heavy and why do you continue to make "pointy" shoes. My foot is not pointy.

The beast GTS 24 that I purchased doesn't fit properly. The right shoe is tight across the toe area and I can't get it to adjust to fit properly. I will be returning this pair of shoes. It appears that the left shoe fits well and the problem is just with the tight fit of the right shoe. In defense of the Beast I did purchase a pair of Beast 23 which fit perfectly but the 24 does not.

I have been wearing successive models of the Beast for over 20 years. It's always been the only shoe that fit my very wide forefoot and provided the stability control I needed. The Beast GTS 24 is the first pair I've returned. The toe box in the 24 is very noticeably tighter and it jams my toes together. Brooks started this trend of a narrower toe box with the 23, and in the 24, it's a deal breaker. The difference in feel with the 20 is night and day. I hope Brooks goes back to an older shoe last like the one in the 20 in their next version.

I have had brooks running shoes many times and have known them to be very comfortable to wear. This new pair of shoes do not fit my feet properly, the right shoe is very tight on my foot. I have worn a size 8 brooks running shoe for years and am very disappointed with this beast GTS. I am currently using my old brooks to run.

So cute and comfortable. The best show for walking around the parks.

Great style and fit, just the right number of pairs

Terrific improvement on 2.0. I normally wear a large tall; this fits perfectly. Material is soft and breathable, a nice top for a chilly start that won't overheat with exertion. The orange is visible on both street runs and forest hikes while still suitable for casual wear.

Good quality. Very satisfied. Stay in place while working out/running.

Books unexpectedly has changed their sizing on this shoe and the size I have worn for decades wouldn't even' go on my foot due to their slim width. I had to return them

Super narrow in the toe box. Only Brooks Medium width shoe to blister my toes after a few miles. Tossed them in the donation pile after a few runs.

Stopped wearing then after just 2 months. Structure did not hold up. Started wearing unevenly. I've worn ghost for the last 5 years and this is the only problem I've ever had. I pulled out an old pair to wear instead. Won't buy again until the problem is fixed even though ghost is my preferred model.

These shoes look and feel great. The look is so good that I almost don't want to wear them. Wearing them as casual wear, using other pairs of Brooks for running.

Just ran in the Glycerin 23's at a shoe demo our running club put on and I was very impressed! The upper fits very nicely and I loved the color way. The cushioning is responsive and protective without being overly mushy or flat. I liked the fit and feel more than the Ghost. I ordered a pair immediately and look forward to wearing them!
