Brooks Beast GTS 26

Brooks Beast GTS 26 review: what runners say

Fit

Generous fit in width and volume, available in D, 2E, and 4E (men) and B, D, 2E (women). Runners between sizes may need to try the next width up.

Feel

DNA Loft v3 cushioning is softer than previous versions, but the ride remains firm and structured. High-stack feel with a stable, non-slip platform.

Durability

Built with the heavier runner in mind: broad rubber outsole coverage and reinforced mesh. No specific mileage cited, but sources consistently describe it as a long-lasting shoe.

Best for

Everyday walkers, those with significant overpronation or supination, heavier runners, and people on their feet all day. Compatible with custom orthotics thanks to the thick removable insole.

Weak points

Clompy ride and heavy feel compared to performance-oriented running shoes. Some users note the width is concentrated in the midfoot rather than the forefoot.
