Feels Like An Improvement After100+ Miles Of Usage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely an improvement in support from the last generation Beast. I’ve worn them for close to 100 miles at this point and they’re broken in and comfortable. The drop is less on this shoe, allowing for a more natural step. I’m just hoping they last longer than the last generation Beast.

Beast 26 Isn’t Really A Beast—it’s Too Soft

Since Beast 20, Beasts have been a godsend for me. I used to wear Beasts since 2009 for running, but since Beast 2020, I wear Beasts all the time because they are so comfortable. I had to return the Beast 2026 because it was too soft and did not keep me from overpronating. My legs hurt just from walking around in them for a few hours. Beast 26 may be good for some, but this version changed the essence of the shoe. Beasts 20-24 had a good balance between firm support and cushioning. Beast 26 seems to have increased cushioning and greatly reduced the support. Call the Beast 26 something else, and please go back to the qualities of the prior design. There are other shoes like the Beast 26, but I never found any other shoes like the Beasts 20-24. People like me really need a shoe like the Beast 20-24. I hope I can find the Beast 24 for sale somewhere!

Grumpy Old Man Ranting About Brooks No Longer Producing The Dyad

Brooks should never have stopped producing the DYAD. The Beast shoe feels like the sole was made with cheap material. It’s a very stiff shoe. The size runs smaller than indicated. I wear a 4E and the toe box on this shoe is still too small. The Ghost Max, which is supposed to be the successor to the DYAD, is not much better than the Beast. Very disappointed in the products Brooks is currently producing.

Excellent Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wearing Beast extra wide since 20 plus years but three years ago I tried Hoka shoes since they have been providing healthcare professionals discount. After three years or so I purchase Beast GTS and I am happy even though there is no discount. I wish Brooks will start discount for health care professionals like other competitors.

Best, Most Supportive

[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.

🌟 Outstanding Comfort And Support!

[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!

Brooks Beast Gts 26 Shoes

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.

Sole Too Wide For Me

[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.

Smooth Ride

[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.

Fast Wear

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.

A Much Better Beast!

[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.

Fantastic Shoes!

[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.

Gspin's Beast Gts 26

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.

It’s My Go-to Shoe For Everything!!

[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.
