Brooks Men's Beast '20 Running Shoe

Product Information

I am 76 years old, am 6’3″, 220 lbs, size 13-4W, have been running or walking for 50 years, including marathons, have flat feet so have used orthodics for 40 years since Dr. The Brooks Beast GTS 23 shoes deliver trusted stability and total comfort thanks to a wide base, soft cushioning, and a generous fit that’s great for orthotics.

In other words, you haven't experienced comfort walking or running until you've experienced Brooks Beast. DRB Accel is an thermoplastic polyurethane unit located in the midfoot for balanced support and torsional rigidity. The moisture-wicking elements of the shoes will also ensure that your feet remain dry and comfortable, due to their ability to rapidly remove excess sweat or moisture from the surface of your skin, meaning comfort is ensured. Switching up with a lighter shoe like the Adrenaline GTS 19 or the Saucony Guide ISO 2 will give you a softer and relatively faster ride.As if that weren't enough, these running shoes for men and women stand out for their DNA LOFT v3 midsole technology, with infused nitrogen that reacts to the unique characteristics of your stride. Think of it like bowling with bumpers – It puts you on track when you need it but doesn’t run the show. We've shifted our focus beyond the feet to the most injury-prone part of a runner's body: the knees. The previous models never had any of these problems and I had ran/trained for many half-marathons on them. A multi-density midsole provides ample amounts of support while Brooks DNA gives a soft cushioned feel.

Rear and forefoot Hydroflow technology adds further cushioning and shock absorption to Brooks Beast. The first run I did in the Beast GTS 23 was a short little 3-mile recovery run, anticipating that it would be heavy underfoot and help me to keep my pace slow.And I can say that, honestly, I think Brooks makes better uppers than most (if not all) other companies. I was visiting my parents from wales and needed a new pair trail shoes, I could see Sutton runner had very good . My first review for Believe in the Run was the Brooks Levitate 6 Stealthfit, a lightweight and energetic daily trainer with a knit-booty upper. A major difference between the older Beast and the current generation midsole – which is fitted on the 16 and 18 – is the full-length stack of two foams on the lateral side. The only differences I can see are a 12mm drop in the Beast compared to a 10mm drop in the Glycerin GTS 20 and Brooks’ classification of the Beast as a max support shoe vs the Glycerin GTS 20 being just moderate support.

We have shifted our focus beyond the feet to the most injury-prone part of a runner's body: the knees. Perforation through the fabric allows additional air to flow throughout the shoes, meaning cool, fresh air effectively replaces, warm, muggy air, meaning you can remain comfortable and feel fresh throughout your run. This did not influence the outcome of this review, written after running more than 50 miles in them.The GuideRails provide a palpable benefit in your feet, knees and hips, favoring a more natural movement of the body and providing that extra stability needed in the race.
