Customer Reviews Brooks Beast GTS 24

I am wearing the Beast GTS 24 and GTS 23 for walking. At 74-yrs...doing 6 miles a day they feel good. I will purchase again soon.

First off, let me preface with this: I have plantar fasciitis in both feet, more severe on the right foot with a very collapsed arch. I never write reviews but I feel that I should try to help others with this condition. I'm giving it 5 stars because way better than the previous Beast 23 as far as support in the heel area. Beasts are the only sneaker that I can wear with this condition, believe me, I've tried them all. My 2 concerns are that they are extremely limited on the colors schemes. The 23 only brought a total of 4 color combos. I have texted their line many times letting them know that the sneakers are not only worn by people who are advanced in age and more color schemes are needed. Their Adrenaline line offers an infinite amount of color combinations for example. I just simply ask that the Beast 24 comes out with a version that is black on the top and white on the bottom like they had a version in their Beast 20 series. A patriotic version in red, white and blue would be great as well. My second concern is that the outsoles are the same as the Beast 23 that literally wear away after a month of use. Due to my condition, I have to buy 12 pairs a year because of this. it would be great for them to last longer like in the Beast 20 series that I mentioned before. The materials in that model were way stronger and lasted of very long time. I give it 5 stars nonetheless because I can tell that they're trying to make it better. I hope my concerns are addressed in the near future. Thanks

This is the best men's offering from Brooks that truly addresses those of us with overpronation, alignment issues, and ankle issues. I'm in formal medical rehab for an improperly healed ankle fracture in addition to scoliosis. The Beast is incredibly supportive doing specific related walking and exercises at the center. The Beast doesn't allow me to cheat, or for that matter, these shoes WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO rehab incorrectly. I mean it's like slamming on the brakes mid-step. I'm forced into a full stop, requiring me to restart the rehab movement from the beginning, which I found amazing as well as frustrating. Essentially, I'm relearning to walk and develop a correct stride. The Beast (along with the Nike Zoom Structure) has been a spectacular ally in learning how to walk and work out correctly at 66 years old. Beast is moderately higher-priced, but the benefits far outweigh their cost in spades.

Great update Made all the improvements to make this shoe the best ever Envelopes your foot with the new upper that works well with the improved sole Allows movement with the right amount of cushion with gentle firm support

The fit was spot on and offered great support and comfort throughout the day. It provided me a good balance between cushioning and stability. The design is both functional and stylish. It has a modern look that stands out but is still versatile enough for various activities. The fabric is breathable and durable and it kept my feet cool and dry even during extended wear. What I liked most was the excellent support and the stylish design and I wouldn't change anything I love these shoes.

I really like these shoes. They are one of my new go to's. I love the fit and feel of Brooks shoes. These ones are no different. They are comfortable and great to walk and jog in. The color is nice. They are breathable. What I like the most about these shoes are how I can wear them all day and my feet don't get tired. I wouldn't change anything about these shoes. I really like them.

I have a really hard time with shoes. Ever since having children my feet have widened and it's become difficult to find any shoes that fit nicely, without pain, and provide me with support. These did just that. They were ever so slightly tight out of the box, but quickly with lace adjustment I found the perfect fit. They offer fantastic support and cushion. In addition to my fun runs, they have become my go to sneaker for days when I know I'm going to be on my feet all day. I typically need to wear arch orthotics for my feet or I develop cysts on the outside and inside of my big toe. With these shoes, I didn't have to use my orthotics at all and walked and ran for hours without any knee, hip, or lower back pain. That's a win!

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 I've 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.

Good support for plantar faceitis

Im 64, 230. Been walking in the BEAST for almost 10 years. Its perfect for larger athletes stability & support. Wont even consider another shoe.

Surprisingly comfortable yet supportive.

Best shoes for pronaters. Your foot almost feels "locked" in place as it cannot role at all.A little of improvements over the Beast '20. If you know, you know.

I have been wearing this shoe for over 10 years.

Awesome fit and support! My new favorite at Brooks, it comes in extra wide, and the quality is great.

I really like my GTS 24 shoes. I spent a week in Italy walking in sites and museums and my feet stayed happy the whole time. I would definitely recommend. They aren't that soft but they are very supportive.

Very comfortable and and provides great stability

Best shoes ever! So smooth, like running on pillows!

Bought these shoes because my podiatrist said I need a very stable shoe so my foot dies not roll. The beast is a good shoe but I like my adrenaline GTS 24 better- gives very good stability but more comfortable.

Like the support when not wearing my work boots

The ortho support feature is really comfortable and by the end of the day, my arches do not feel flat and instead feel like they are being supported. I bought these shoes for the ortho arch support feature and they are doing a great job in supporting my ankles and keeping them more upright. My feet and ankles don't feel tired and over-stretched at the end of the day I can highly recommend them for the arch supports. I could not give the shoes a 5-star for these reasons. The shoes feel pretty good, but they feel like a size too short. I normally wear a 13 size, but my toes are too close to the end. A 14 size would be way too large. I think that having a wider toe-box would help. As far as every-day comfort, the shoes wear great and I do not plan to send them back. I'll just have to continue trying to "stretch" them by wearing more often.

I have been buying Brooks Beast and Ariel for decades! My best friend has too. Prefer the GTS 23.
