The shoe looked good, but
The shoe looked good, but unfortunately the toe box was too small and tight. A wider size would be too loose in the heel area of my foot.

Change doesn't always mean better
having replaced the medial post with guide rails, the Beast no longer has the support I need.

Attractive shoe. Like the color. I agree it should remain neutral since there is only ONE color available in NARROW width. However, it would be appreciated if you could offer, for example, gray/navy. Hasn't been one since Adrenaline GTS19. GTS20 was a a good combo, not as neutral, but OK. Also, I was unable to tighten the laces without the fabric puckering in toe box which is my biggest negative. Looks terrible. Haven't worn them outside. Still deciding about returning them. I definitely will not be ordering my usual 2-3 pairs though. Good fit in heel & width but not sure about the toe box area. Something is definitely wrong.

24s are great.
24s are a little more snug than same size in the 23s. Appears to be the extra padding. I like the softer feel of the 24s.

Comparison
I returned the 23 because the toe box was tighter than the 22 and 21. I sized up a half size for the 24's. I would suggest that for anyone concerned about width in toe box. I like that I can get 4E in this shoe. I just wish it was available in other colors than gray or black. I like the new cushiony feel of the 24. I hope it will be warm enough in the winter with the mid shoe having thinner material.

Comfortable soles but a little narrow on my feet
I normally wear out my shoes quickly because I wear them for running and for every day tasks. These are great for running. However, they're a little snug on my feet for every day wear. I would not order a size up per se because the toe length is fine. It's the width that is a little tighter, probably fine for most people as I have super wide feet. It's not uncomfortable for running I just like a more loose casual shoe when I'm not exercising.

Exceptionally Confortable
I've recently started using the Adrenaline GTS 24, and they've proven to be exceptionally comfortable. Whether I'm running, cross-training, or enjoying a casual day with friends at the park or mall, these shoes consistently exceed my expectations. They're not only highly functional but also stylish, making them my go-to choice for various activities. I also receive numerous compliments when I wear them, and they surpass my comfort needs even on long days walking at the hospital. I was so impressed that I decided to give a pair to my sister.

I have been a Brooks fan for years now, more a fan of Glycerin specifically. I just tried the Beast to get a little more stability and I love it! Great shoe for walking and running - maximum comfort and stability!!

I thought they'd be a bit more comfortable. Not quite what I was hoping for

Breathable & comfortable
Probably the most comfortable Adrenalines that I have worn in a long while. Great fit, great support, and the addition of the "vent" on the side increases air circulation which adds to the comfortability of wear ( Hey, Brooks, that should be standard from here on out). Solid purchase, I hope they come out with more color options!
