Customer Reviews Brooks Beast GTS 24

It's a well-made shoe I think. The sole is thick with some good rubber that gives one confidence. The upper is breathable yet still a high quality material. My only issue with the beast is the harder material in the heel area and the drop which I am told is less than other brooks models. I'd prefer a flatter shoe and softer material for the heel. But I do like the build quality of the shoe. It's great that they've not dropped the quality of their shoes too much, as many brands often do often with the excuse of "sustainability." And I like that they have it in many sizes and widths. I wish they made a 13.5. Also I like their color choices, although I'd like to see their blue and white colored sneakers from a couple of years ago back. But the navy blue is still good enough. But bring back the royal blue and white PLEASE!

Tom's Beast GTS 24. First of all, I have three pair of Beast 2018 model Size 12 2E wide and they fit perfectly!!! I have one pair of Beast 2020 model Size 12 2E and they are slightly too narrow. I just purchased the new Beast GTS 2024 model size 12 4E. I got the wider size after my conversation with customer support. The 4E is a little too wide and don't fit as well as the Beast 18's for my foot. Over all I like the shoe.

The Beast is a very good shoe, but a few things could be better for me. 1. It needs a way to secure the tongue at the top in the center such as Topo does. 2. I prefer the fit around ankle to be a little higher and more secure. 3. I prefer round laces instead of the flat laces. 4. I prefer less heel drop - down to 5 mm range. The extra wide 4E is roomy around front of foot which I absolutely require. I have foot problems such as bunions and high fallen arches and use special inserts. Brooks along with other shoe manufacturers should make more styles and colors available in wide sizes. In general, this shoe meets my needs and I am happy with the purchase even if it could be better.

I bought this shoe for walking - my running days ended several years ago. Fits my foot well, maybe a little too roomy - I had to pull the laces up pretty tight. Very comfortable, though. My only real complaint is that the sole has a lot of deep grooves that pick up dirt or small pebbles. Just have to keep this in mind when I come from outdoors.

I gave these shoes four stars. However, these shoes did not support my flat feet or Achilles, they only lasted just over 3 months. That being said, I do work in the hospitality industry and easily put in 5 to 8 miles a day indoors. When I first got these shoes I was very impressed. I did however noticed they weren't the best shoes for freshly mopped floors.

I was just reading a review about the tongue of beast 24 not staying straight, I have the same problem with mine. Is there any way to fix this problem? They are my favorite work shoes.Gary

Can feel the stability in the shoe. I do not like the shoe strings. They are to short. I like the feel of the firm stable sole.

I walked 90% in park ran and walk/ran 10% on treadmill, averaged 3.23 Miles per day. After 6 months 3 weeks, or 209 days, walked total of 3.23*209 days=675 miles. I used these shoes 2X more than intended use:Intended use for running: 300-500 miles or 3-6 monthsIntended use for walk: 150-300 miles for same 3-6 monthsPlease see Attached photo

Excellent and very comfortable.

love the shoe and cant belive the difference in how my legs and back feels. I wish it came in othere traditional colors. I am a white kind of tennis show guy. But have to have doulbe wide shoe. I could only find two dark colors in my size. 10 eee

I purchased these to replace a previous pair of Beasts. I have extremely flat feet and they help me in walking and standing. I very seldom do anything close to running, so I cannot vouch for a renner's perspective.

First - I hate buying new shoes- these are replacing my Beast 20 (after trying them and really liking them- I bought 2 more pairs- sadly the last one is now worn out). I use these for walking only- I can no longer run due to hip arthritis. I have worn these for just over 2 weeks now- covering between 25-30 miles walking total. They are comfortable and supportive. Only issue I have is they "squeak" when walking on most surfaces. (carpeted they tend not to). This started after a few days of use and is continuing- hopefully it goes away.

The Beast GTS 24 does not come in the most attractive schemes; however, the shoe works well for people with flat feet. It's reliable and sturdy. It comes from a long line of successful footwear that allows a regularly walker/runner to log their steps/miles and survive to do so again the next day!

Probably the best sneaker I have worn extremely comfortable, highly recommend mostly walking

Beast are my favorites! They are the best for comfort and support. Makes me feel confident

Great ankle and arch support making it a pleasure to work out at 68 years young for walking and running

Comfortable although a little stiff and somewhat hard to stand on throughout the entire day. I'm an ER nurse and my feet and legs get pretty abused. Fit is great shipping and all of the ordering process was easy.

This is probably my 20th pair of the beast Brooks show. Great support. Best shoe for me.

I purchased the wide version due to comments stating that it ran tight. Apparently the shoes were too wide, so i returned them for normal width. I wore them for about 2 weeks and they just rubbed my pinky toes til they were sore. That is my only complaint. The soles were super comfy, and they fit great everywhere else. The best shoe that I have ever bought was the Ghost 15. unfortunately they fell apart after 11 months ( I walk a lot every day), and they no longer carry them :(

At first I bought the size 12 in regular width and after wearing for one day, I noticed they were too tight and crushing my pinky toes. I ended up having to switch to the wide width, which I have never had to do with any other brand. Now that they fit right, they are amazing! I have no pain walking in them 8+ hours a day at work. I highly recommend, as long as you get the right width.

Overall I enjoy the shoes. I have very flat feet so it's more comfortable than a lot of other options. It would be nice to have come in a black white option or a few other varieties. I've had the beasts a few gens now. Keep em coming

These helped with my plantar fasciitis to a great extent. I just wish the insoles were a little more cushion like.

Good shoe, been wearing the beats for years now. But some better shoe color choices would be great and have the colors available in every width you carry in the shoe.
