Best for
The Beast GTS 26 is Brooks' maximum-support shoe: the GuideRails system on a broad base, with nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning that adapts to your stride. The design can take orthotic inserts, and the 12 mm drop and 354 g are what you would expect of something this supportive.
It suits runners who need strong support and durable, plush cushioning on easy and long road runs, particularly if they use orthotics. It is a protective shoe for high mileage.
It is not a light shoe, and it is not for speed. The broad base and tall heel make it feel solid and traditional, so tempo work, intervals and racing are better done in something lighter and more flexible.
