The Addiction GTS 15 weighs 12.6 oz—357.2 grams—while the Beast 20 is 11.7 oz —331.7 grams.Hard to say but I'd guess at either the women's 860, which is on a 10mm drop with a medial post to control pronation or the Vongo, which is built on a 4mm drop with some built in stability. If you can make it into one of our stores we can give you some different options to try. The Hyperion Max is difficult to categorize, but that’s exactly why it’s one of the best Brooks running shoes: It does many things very well. The “max” in Hyperion Max refers to the hefty wedge of nitrogen-infused DNA Flash foam in the shoe’s midsole, which is very light and creates a plush, highly responsive ride. That makes the Hyperion Max an incredible dynamic shoe: You can lace them up for a long, mellow run or put them on for speedwork. Thank you for your comment. Brooks replaced Ravenna with Launch GTS 8.If you are a forefoot striker I would suggest you look at some zero-drop or lower heel-drop shoes like Saucony Kinvara or Altra Rivera. You can see the range of women's lightweight shoes here. I think they will work better for you as you don't need the cushioning under your heel. Brooks has been around for over 100 years, but its story as a running company began in 1974, when the brand released its first running shoe, the Villanova. The shoe was a revelation: It was the first to use ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) foam padding, which was lighter and softer than other midsole materials used at the time. The Villanova set a new standard for running shoes–EVA is still widely used in running midsoles today. The BioMogo DNA cushioning in the midsole delivers maximum softness with a responsive underfoot feeling, plus durability. A full-length Segmented Crash Pad accommodates every heel strike action and enhances your heel to toe transition.

Unlike traditional support tech, like a medial post, which adds a layer of firm foam within the midsole, GuideRails cradle your feet from the sides, so they don’t interfere with your stride if you don’t overpronate.Great article! I was wondering if you could recommend a running shoe for my difficult feet. I have high arches, overpronate, and tend to heel strike - judging by the wear on the heels of my running shoes. I also suffer from accessory navicular syndrome. I run predominantly off road/trails. I run around 3 times per week, short runs of up to around 50 mins are fine but any longer I suffer the next day from tendon pain around the accessory navicular bone. Primarily looking a trail shoe (and inserts?) that will offer some stability, support, and hopefully therefore reduce the tendon pain problem. Thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear about the problems you've been having –that sounds very painful!

Bach: The Brooks Beast remains one of the last shoes in the market to provide an extremely high level of stability. It is a good shoe for embracing slow jogging along with stable walking. It's also as durable as can be. The Beast is definitely a niche shoe that runners who want stability should definitely try on first to see if it is too much or just right for their needs. Visit our stability guide to learn more about how you can determine that for yourself. New Balance W860. It also comes in a wider width if you need it. I have a similar problem with pronating feet, I used to get a lot of trouble with my achilles and with plantar fasciitis but I wear these all day now, alternating with the Brooks Women's Adrenaline GTS (also available in wider fitting if necessary) and I don't have pain any more.

The Brooks Beast 20 Mens Running Shoe is known for its soft, cushioned ride, and now it's lighter than ever thanks to the newly added GuideRails® support technology. Bach: My main recommendations focus on the ride of the shoe. The weight of the Brooks Beast GTS 23 feels fairly loaded in the rearfoot, not surprising considering the GuideRails there. Finding a way to take some weight out of the heel, particularly with a lighter foam would be helpful in making the shoe feel a little more nimble. The forefoot outsole could also use a less aggressive, smoother design to reduce the slappy nature of the ride in its current form. Hi, what’s the best motion control trainer for women. I’m flat footed with pronation when running. Thanks Matt: The Brooks Beast GTS 23 is a motion-control shoe. The base of the shoe is extremely wide, particularly in the heel and midfoot with a large amount of sole flaring in the heel. The ride in the heel and midfoot is incredibly stiff, adding a high level of resistance to lateral motion. The large GuideRails on the medial and lateral side are noticeable as soon as you start moving, providing aggressive central guidance. While standing they were not as apparent and the stiffness of the sole was more noticeable. As soon as you start to move and roll either direction, the aggressive control immediately becomes apparent. The majority of this stability is centered at the heel, is still apparent at the heel then tapers off a bit at the forefoot. The forefoot is still wider, but it more natural (relative term) than the rest of the shoe. Therefore, those with extremely high and high stability needs in the heel and midfoot, respectfully, will do best in this shoe.
