Customer Reviews Brooks Beast GTS 24

Love the feel of these shoes- great arch support, breathable and comfortable for casual use and short distance running (havent tried long distance). Id suggest a wide if you have wider feet. I like the design- simple and sleek. Fabric is light weight and breathable. Nice deep navy color. Seem easy to wash if needed but havent tried. These are my new go to shoes for a short run or errands.

The Beast GTS 24 shoes are incredibly comfortable and lightweight. They fit true to size and feel spacious, giving my feet room to move without slipping around. The design is sleek and stylish, though the large logo can be a bit distracting, and the fabric is breathable, soft, and non-restrictive. My favorite feature is the overall comfort of these shoes; from the breathable knit upper to the rubber, high-traction outsole, these shoes are the most comfortable athletic footwear Ive ever owned. My one wish is that there was a pull tab at the heel to make them easier to put on, but the heel reinforcement is a nice touch. Overall, they are extremely comfortable, breathable, and supportive, making them my go-to choice for athletic shoes.

Not very cushioned compared to past ones!

the tread is really soft on this shoe as i accumulate alot of rubber on my floor behind the treadmill.. i walk 3.5 mies a day on the treadmill... at 6 months into the shoe at walking 3.5 miles a day (5x a week) the shoe look as thought i had them for a year... i have had multiple models of the Beast but these by far have been the worst for wear

I love Brooks shoes. These were a bit snug in the toe box though. I sent them back and still where my Ghost Max 2. I supinate and have been diagnosed with Tarsal Tunnel in both feet. When I get that fixed I will try them again. Thanks Brooks!

I have worn the Beast model for 20+ years. This pair disappointing as the tongue of the shoe is off center....aggravating for a shoe this expensive to have any flaw. Thank you for allowing me to express an opinion. Know that Jesus loves you.....more important than a shoe!!

Bought these brand new from Brooks website. Last year I bought the Beast from the Brooks ReStart site. The ones I just bought new don't fit as good as last years that I bought on ReStart. Don't know what you did with any changes but I'm not as happy with my newest purchase. The ones from last year, ReStart, hug my feet better and are much more comfortable than the brand new ones from this year.

Despite being 4E, They are much tighter than my Best 23 GTS shoes. They are too cramped.

tighter fit than previous model, best looking shoe is black, the others suck

Please bring back the quality you put into the Beast 23s. The Beast 24s are overall disappointing and are showing clear signs of quality reduction. The fit comfort and durability are suffering. I really hope this is not a sign of a trend to come where quality of the shoes being sacrificed while the price is not. I have owned five pairs of the Beast 23s and 3 of the 24s. If I could go back I would stock pile the 23s. Please fix this, Brooks.

The 2E width seems rather small as compared with other Brooks. After two weeks, I am not impressed.

This is actually a really good shoe but I have a pretty wide foot so I ordered the 2E width. Normally a 2E shoe fits me good. This GTS24 is just a bit too snug right where my foot is widest, from the base of my big toe directly across to the base of my little toe, inside of foot to outside of foot. This is why a rated the shoe only 3 stars. The quality of the shoe is very good and I love the strong support the shoe provides up the back from the heel and all around the top of the shoe just under the ankle. The shoe also looks very good.

The cushion is hard. I like the Adrenaline 24 better, go with it if you have to choose only one.

It is a beast! I wanted a shoe with support, but this is a bit too firm for me. The upper material as well as the sole is also stiff and not as flexible as the Glycerin e.g.

This is my second pair of Brooks. The first pair was outstanding - the best running / walking shoe I had ever owned. This pair is not of the same quality. After a few weeks the left inside heal is already worn and splitting. Disappointing.

I have been running and walking in the Beast for many years. I did not notice a big difference between the new one and the last one. I must say that I have always been disappointed in the length of the tongue. When I use all the eyelets there is so little room that the laces often get mixed in together. I notice this in any number of athletic shoes, so you are not the only one. The quality is always fine in your products and I appreciate that you have extra wide choices, at least in the Beast.

the back edge of this shoe is so low that you have the constant feeling that they will come off your feet. Not a reassuring feature for older men with balance issues. Yes waste of money.

Decided to try these over another brand due to more cushioning. The cushioning is great however the foot stability is definitely lacking and noticing inversion of my foot with walking.

Having been a huge fan of Beast 20, I am disappointed with Beast 24. Overall, they are fine except for the stiff part by the toes. If you need the extra space by the toes, this shoe is not for you. Brooks, please go back to whatever you did with the front of the Beast 20, that was best.

Feel different in just a year. Been wearing Beasts for years and loved them. Fit my duck feet and provided the support necessary to run. Something has changed though. Don't feel as comfortable. Narrower in that my foot doesn't feel as comfortable as previously. Support is there but it's not comfortable as any other Beast model. The color choices are ridiculous too for 4E. I'm going to shop elsewhere next round if Brooks doesn't fix it.

Just a few weeks in and the rubber nubs are almost gone under the ball of my foot, after about 60 - 70 miles of walking. Almost zero wear everywhere else.

I've worn different versions of the Beast for YEARS and unfortunately I was disappointed with the 24 version. It does have good support from the guide rails. The upper has good breathability. However, the cushioning wasn't as good as previous versions. My knees and ankles take a pounding on my daily 6 miles. Also, the shoulders around the shoe opening seem to be a bit higher and rub along the bottom of the ankles. And finally the outsole doesn't seem that durable (was also my complaint about the Beast 23). I do exercise on a black top road and that surface is definitely rough on outsoles but the front half of the outsoles wear down quickly. This wasn't the case in earlier versions. It is a good shoe, just not as good as earlier versions.
