Brooks Men's Beast '20 Running Shoe

Product Information

The foam-backed heel collar and tongue lining feel premium while fitting securely over the heel and midfoot. A huge thank you to one of your staff - a young gent (I didn’t get his name) who helped me choose some new runners a . I did find the ride to be fairly firm underfoot, which I enjoy, but those looking for the bounce and/or squish that other max cushion shoes have should look elsewhere because this bad boy is all about stability. Check out our Shoe Finder, where you can either tell us what brand of shoe you wear and we'll show you something better – or you can answer five simple questions and we'll introduce you to your sole mate. Consider options like the Hoka Arahi 6 or the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23, especially if you're a Brooks enthusiast.

The stability from the GuideRails and the geometry of the shoe kept my feet and ankles in line, making it nearly impossible for medial roll-in to occur. Whenever I’ve worn other Brooks shoes outfitted with it, I always liked the durability and how soft of a ride it gave.The Beast has a very well-padded heel liner that tapers around a snug midfoot and breathable toe box.

Now that Brooks has the Glycerin GTS model (which features the same foam, similar stack height, GuideRail system, and a similar upper), which comes in over an ounce lighter, is the Beast GTS 23 really necessary? A model of great support, already predicted by its surname 'GTS', which comes to offer the best sensations in race, either in training or competitions. In this instance, we should note that the shoe has a "reflective element"—singular—because it only boasts one reflective piece in the heel area. If you like running without feeling like you're carrying extra weight like us, you might want to explore other lightweight and stable shoes.The forefoot is kept mostly free of synthetic layering so the insides breathe a little better than before. My right foot is longer and wider than my left and it is now impossible for me to wear my same size of 10. Furthermore, we found it offers excellent breathability and a design meticulously crafted for heel strikers a stable ride.

But I can still get out there and run and walk – and I think Brooks for continuing to make the Beast and strive to make improvements.

I went for a run straight after the purchase and the comfort and support in my new shoes is incredible.
