Brooks
Beast GTS 26
Brooks' heavy-duty GuideRails stability shoe for runners and walkers who want maximum support. Very stable and secure, but heavy and flat-feeling for faster running.
What's new: Adds an updated RoadTack outsole and new heel, and its DNA Loft v3 midsole feels airier and flatter than the denser GTS 24; GuideRails and upper are largely unchanged.
