[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best, most supportive shoe! I own two pairs. Might be a bit stiff for thin, lightweight people, but I love them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing these shoes for a few weeks now, and they have completely exceeded my expectations. Right out of the box, they felt incredibly comfortable with absolutely zero break-in period required. What makes them great: Premium Cushioning: The midsole provides excellent shock absorption, making long walks or full days on your feet feel effortless. Stable Fit: The upper materials secure the foot perfectly without causing any pressure points or friction. Durable Build: The traction is fantastic on various surfaces, and the construction feels solid enough to last a very long time. Whether you need a reliable daily trainer, a solid walking shoe, or just something dependable for everyday wear, this pair delivers top-tier performance. They are worth every penny!

I purchased during the last week of April 2026. I am extremely satisfied with the extra wide availability and the standard shoe size. The shoes exterior color scheme makes the product an attractive addition.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have to order 4E shoe width thse days. I ordered a pair of these last year and everything was fine. However the shoes I got this year had a very, very wide sole, so much so that I was tripping quite a bit. I just got a pair of Addiction GTS 15 and they are working fine. The sole is no where near as wide.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable and very stable, which is my #1 need. Given the cushioning and stability, these shoes are also relatively lightweight.

I have been wearing the Brooks Beast running shoes for years. The soles of the '26 version wear out quickly. I usually get about 11 months from the show but now they are worn out after about 7 months. Disappointing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this new model! The support is definitely there and feels very secure yet even more cushy comfortable! So much so that I want another pair to wear as my daily shoe and still have a pair exclusively for my training/walking. The sole also has a new and improved design going away from the traditional nubs which tend to wear down very quickly. I believe that the new waffle sole will provide better stability throughout the entire surface of the shoe and much more consistent wear for the life of the shoe.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. Cushioning and support are both amazing, and the material that makes up the body is flexible but supportive.

Excellent shoe. The support is amazing. I've been wearing the Adrenaline GTS line for years. The Beast is that and more. The lateral support is great. The cushion is excellent. Highly recommend the new Beast GTS 26.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the Beast line up! Been wearing them since “96”. I’ve had basically every version of them since then. Everytime I try to switch up and try a new shoe I’m always disappointed and go right back to the old faithful beast! They preform well for walking, rucking, CrossFit and daily wear. It’s the “go-to” shoe! I have a wider midfoot and they are perfect in a 13, 2E for me. Only down side is they don’t make a beast style edition with a softer foam for longer run days. Other than having that option, keep the line up with the amazing durability and foot print. It never disappoints!! I have 9 set of the new “26” version and I expect to get btwn 800 to 1000 miles per pair, that’s what the other versions have done in my experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have joint issues, extremely flat feet, so ankle, foot, knees issues ☹️ years ago I bought the beast gts23 and I’ve used them so much they wore out! Hours of research and I came back to brooks and the “beast” and I’m beyond thrilled I did 🥹 I’m not an athlete and needed the most comfortable shoes for ever. Single. Day. And let me tell you 🗣️ these shoes perform 💯% in the month or so I’ve had them haven’t had a single moment of pain, discomfort or anything I usually do with foot ware 🙂↔️ only bad thing I’ve noticed is going to fast food places, the floors are greased and feels like I’m on a skating rink 🧊 but everywhere else these shoes are golden 👌🏻 if this company keeps improving and making these like they’ve been I’ll ONLY buy these shoes ♾️ you have flat feet, joint issues try them, also no inserts needed they just work 😁 first time in a loooooonnnnnnggggg time I didn’t feel pain daily so I highly recommend because you don’t need to be an athlete just someone who walks a lot and needs top comfort and these deliver!!!!!!!!

The new Beast GTS 26 has an expanded loop on the tongue for threading shoelaces. Because it is larger, it allows the lace to move in awkward places. I find it more difficult to adjust the laces and both remove or tighten my shoes.

I’m a large athlete. 6’5”, 250. Most of the modern shoes feel like I’m walking on marshmallows- no support and I flatten the cushion and can feel my foot bottom out in the shoe. These are different. They have adequate foam density and support for larger athletes. The only challenge is sizing. They are a full size smaller than most other brands. (I’m a 14 in everything. I’m a 15 in these.)

Sadly, the shoes did not provide a wide enough toe box to be comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best pair of brooks that I've bought so far. Brooks shoes is the only shoe brand I trust as a health care worker who's always on his feet. The beast is truly a beast of a shoe the toe box feels extremely comfortable and the shoe is extremely stable and supportive. My feet feel great after a 12hr shift.
