Best, Most Supportive

The best, most supportive shoe! I own two pairs. Might be a bit stiff for thin, lightweight people, but I love them.

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

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

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!

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!

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!!

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.

Best Shoes Ever Made 🙌🏻

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!!!!!!!!

Awkward.

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.

Good But Run Small.

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.

One Beastly Shoe!

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.

4e Width Requirement Was Always A Challenge, Until Now…way To Go Brooks!

Having 4E width requirement, finding suitable running shoes that don't scream “orthopedic-shoes” hah hah can sometimes seem impossible! However, Brooks provides both style, comfort and durability w/Brooks new GTS-26. Way to go Brooks!
