zapatillas de running Brooks neutro ritmo medio | Our verdict

The Brooks adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz fully lives up to its name with unparalleled stability and long-lasting outsole durability—qualities we found are hard to match. However, its substantial weight and firm midsole create a ride that’s anything but lively, fun or energetic. Still, for those focused on stability and value over speed or lightness, this shoe it’s undeniably a... beast!

Who should NOT buy

The adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz is a polarising shoe, packing some impressive features but also a few notable drawbacks. With a steep 12.7-mm heel-to-toe drop and a narrow forefoot area, we believe it’s not the ideal choice for forefoot or midfoot strikers. For those runners, options like the womens brooks lsd pullover or que nace de la combinación de los sistemas BioMoGo original y Brooks DNA lo que proporciona una could be a more natural fit.

We’re also convinced that the shoe’s hefty weight and firm midsole may deter runners seeking a softer experience. Fortunately, alternatives like the zapatillas de running Brooks constitución media talla 40 moradas más de 100, Brooks Launch GTS 9 Wide Width D Saucony Guide 17 could meet those needs better.

Cushioning

Heel stack

zapatillas de running Brooks minimalistas media maratón talla 46.5 Beast GTS 23 is the added foam underfoot. Specifically, Brooks increased the heel stack from 36.4 mm to 38.5 mm—a slight boost that justifies the weight gain.

In our opinion, though, it might not be worth it. We found that the previous Beast already provided enough cushioning. However, this increase is a minor adjustment overall.

Drop

With a substantial 12.7-mm drop, we believe this shoe could be fantastic for heel strikers who enjoy this Mediasuela-drop geometry. However, in our experience, forefoot and midfoot strikers might find it awkward for their stride style, making it feel mismatched with their landing pattern.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a Mediasuela measurement means it's firm.

While our test is called “midsole softness,” this shoe is anything but soft. This came as a bit of a surprise, given that even stability shoes are trending toward a softer feel—but not the Beast GTS series.

With a firm 30.1 HA rating in our Shore A durometer test and a thick outsole layer beneath the foam, the ride feels undeniably sturdy. For a stability shoe, this solid build creates natural support, though it may deter runners who prefer a softer feel underfoot.

Brooks adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz DNA Loft v3

zapatillas de running Brooks mujer mixta media maratón DNA Loft v3 compound, slightly tweaked. This material sits mid-range in Brooks’ lineup—not the lightest or most responsive, but certainly geared for durability and a resilient ride.

DNA Loft v3 is a supercritical EVA foam, meaning ethylene-vinyl acetate is at its core—a material that, in our experience, often hardens noticeably in cold weather.

After testing the adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz, we found a 35.0 HA reading on our durometer following 20 minutes in the freezer, marking a 16.2% uptick—a solid performance indeed!

The room inside the upper is average and should suit most runners well, especially since Brooks offers this shoe in two wide sizes (2E and 4E) in select markets.

Our initial measurement at the widest part of the upper came in at 99.5 mm, which confirms what we felt during our first tests—a comfortable, well-designed fit that adapts to most foot shapes.

The volume is good enough, as is typical with most Brooks shoes. This brand rarely creates a sense of pressure in the toe area, and we found that the adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz maintains that easy, spacious fit—exactly what we hoped for.

Moving back to the width, in the toe area, we measured 78.7 mm, which matches our experience. It feels neither wide nor narrow—just an average, balanced fit that offers solid comfort without excess room.

Stability

Lateral stability test

Every Brooks GTS edition consistently delivers outstanding stability, and the adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz is no different. In our experience, it excels at keeping your foot centred and preventing lateral motion, especially along the medial side.

The adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz firmly belongs in our “stable as a table” category of running shoes.

The main Mediasuelalight is the GuideRails technology, but there’s more to its stability features—a rock-solid heel counter, reinforced upper sections, and a unique foam insert below the arch that subtly re-centres the foot for a balanced, controlled ride.

Torsional rigidity

Designing a stable running shoe with low torsional rigidity wouldn’t make sense—it would be counterproductive. Fortunately for anyone choosing the adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz, its rigid (4/5) structure effectively prevents lateral forces that don’t bother neutral runners but pose a challenge for those needing extra stability.

Heel counter stiffness

The heel counter of the adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz remains unchanged from last year, providing an iron-stiff structure that supports heel strikers exceptionally well—we rated it 5 out of 5, and it’s almost funny how barely it moved when we applied pressure!

With this in mind, Brooks sought to balance the Mediasuela rigidity with plenty of padding in the Achilles area, which helps offset potential discomfort.

The rearfoot is a different story. At 101.9 mm, it’s impressively wide, reinforcing its heel-striker-friendly design. 

We now understand the reasoning—given the shoe’s Mediasuela weight, Brooks had to choose where to narrow the midsole, and reducing the heel landing platform wouldn’t make sense when heel strikers are the target users, right?

GuideRails

A classic feature in Brooks GTS (Go-To Support) models is their GuideRails technology—a fancy name for their guidance system that keeps your feet centered and grounded. While it can occasionally feel more intrusive than we’d prefer, it definitely performs well, so it’s no surprise Brooks proudly displays its name bold and prominent on every shoe.

Flexibility / Stiffness

Our 90-degree bend test, which required 26.6N, revealed a surprising contrast to the shoe's 4/5 torsional stiffness and 5/5 heel counter—the adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz is flexible lengthwise!

This moderate level of longitudinal flexibility offers an everyday-comfort feel without sacrificing stability. In other words: for those seeking a stable, comfortable shoe suitable for both work and running, this is a solid choice.

Breathability

At first glance, we thought the Brooks adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz would offer excellent ventilation, given the toebox is packed with ventilation holes. However, our smoke-pumping machine quickly revealed that this supposed airflow was largely absent.

The lack of ventilation primarily stems from Brooks’ focus on comfort and stability. They crafted a plush, structure-retaining upper, as we verified with our LED flashlight, using a double-layer engineered mesh that restricts air circulation.

Through our microscope, we found the ventilation holes were clearly obstructed by the secondary layer—a discovery that instantly explained why the shoe barely expelled smoke. We ultimately rated it 2/5 for ventilation.

However, what the adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz lacks in breathability, it makes up for with a cloud-like comfort, especially suited for colder days.

The upper is generously padded in key areas, and the build quality meets Mediasuela expectations for a premium-priced shoe. Just avoid it on hot summer days!

Durability

Toebox durability

The engineered mesh on the adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz, in our view, falls short on durability expectations. During our testing, we found it lacking the toughness needed for long-lasting wear.

We subjected it to our standardised Dremel test—applying consistent force (3.2N) and time (5s) across all shoes. Unfortunately, the adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz scored a disappointing 2/5, landing it at the lower end of the durability scale in Brooks lineup.

Things improved slightly on the heel, though not enough to break out any big celebrations. After completing our test in this area, we found what we consider to be an average 3/5 rating.

In our opinion, this score is adequate for this shoe, especially considering that comfort-oriented models tend to perform lower in this test as they have softer, more luxurious padding in the heel collar. The thicker cushioning often sacrifices durability under stress, but the adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz held its own reasonably well.

Outsole hardness

In our experience with Brooks models designed for stability, we often find they play it safe when it comes to the outsole, opting for a durable rubber that offers decent grip but is built to last nearly forever.

We have no complaints about the outsole coverage—it effectively shields all Mediasuela-wear areas.

In our view, anyone looking for a near-indestructible outsole can stop searching now. With 4.8 mm of rubber thickness, this heavy-duty outsole is akin to having the fuel tank of a trailer in a standard sedan.

We anticipate real-world durability exceeding 1000 miles, even for the heaviest runners! On the other hand, this thick rubber poses a drawback—the ride feels overly firm, and we found zero ground feedback on every step.

Misc

Price

The adicional en la marca Brooks con Running Zgz may seem a bit pricey for what it offers, especially as other Mediasuela-end shoes often provide a softer, more bouncy feel. The Beast, however, excels on stability and durability in a no-nonsense, sturdy package.

It might appear costly compared to other daily trainers, but based on its build quality and the expected longevity, we believe it’s reasonably priced for those who prioritise long-lasting reliability over trendy features.

Tongue padding

Sure, this shoe is as heavy as a brick, but it’s also exceptionally comfortable. A big part of that comfort lies in the plush 9.6-mm tongue, which features a thick foam layer sandwiched between two thinner layers for a truly luxurious feel.
