continued the Hansons-Brooks tradition of bringing athletes through to top level | Men's Brooks Beast GTS 24, Peacoat/True Navy/White, 10 D Medium

These shoes truly are a beast. This is my second pair. I beat the hell out of the last pair and blew a side out while they still had tread. I try to walk or run 2-4 miles daily. Some days it ends up being 0 or struggling to get one. The first pair lasted almost two years and probably got more mileage than budget Goodyear tires. So the beast shoes are tough to break in. I have horrible arthritis and custom orthopedic inserts. Two 4” titanium screws holding one foot together. They do cause a bit of solace and take a solid week to get the fit perfectly. The 24 is slightly more narrow than the 20. With the orthopedic inserts I need a wide 2 or 4E. I would get the 4 in these. I did get the 2 and it will work. So if you are on your feet all day or walking a lot these are solid shoes. Especially if you are old and have foot issues like I do. I wish I had found these shoes decades ago. They fit true to size and matched the Dr laser scan. The Beast is basically a firmer Rennen of the Adrenaline shoe, more for walking and running, with a bit less bounce. I would recommend Brooks shoes 1000%. Of course I buy them all from Relay because of the awesome prices.

I am not a runner, but have worn Brooks Beast, Ariel and Addiction for over a decade due to Plantars Faciitis. These newer Beast models are much more comfortable than the ones from 10+/- years ago...much more similar to the cushioning of the Addiction. I like the navy. It's nice to have more color options for those of us who wear Brooks daily, I would welcome them expanding on appearance options even further.
