Brooks Beast GTS 24 vs Saucony Hurricane 25

Which is the better buy? Side-by-side on rating, price, strengths, and watch-outs — with the published ratings we averaged to get there.

The short answer

Saucony Hurricane 25 comes out ahead by a narrow margin (4.2 vs 4.5). The gap is mostly about overpronators who want maximum plush cushioning with their stability, especially heavier runners and long-distance training — read the strengths below before deciding.

Ranked #5 in Best Running Shoes for Overpronation

Brooks Beast GTS 24

4.2

$160

The Beast GTS 24 is the maximal motion-control pick for severe overpronation: a heavy, firm, supremely stable trainer where GuideRails and a stiff midsole deliver the strongest correction in this group. RunRepeat called it 'world-class stability,' and Doctors of Running graded its stability an A — but at over 12 oz, it is a support specialist, not a do-everything shoe.

Strengths

— World-class motion control — the strongest correction in this group for severe overpronation
— GuideRails plus a firm midsole excel at preventing lateral and medial drift
— Built for flat-footed, severe overpronators who need maximal support

Watch-outs

— Very heavy at over 12 oz — the bulkiest shoe in the group
— Firm midsole gives a ride that is anything but lively or fun
— Overkill for mild or moderate overpronators

Higher ratedRanked #2 in Best Running Shoes for Overpronation

Saucony Hurricane 25

4.5

$134.95as of Jun 7

The Hurricane 25 is the max-cushion stability pick: Saucony's most premium support trainer pairs PWRRUN and PWRRUN PB foams for a plush, energetic ride that stays inherently stable. RunRepeat found impressive gains in energy return, cushioning, and comfort while dropping an ounce, and Believe in the Run rated it A-tier, calling it stable but not obtrusively so.

Strengths

— Max-cushion stability with PWRRUN and PWRRUN PB foams for a soft-yet-supported ride
— Inherently stable without feeling obtrusive or corrective
— Outstanding shock absorption and strong energy return — top-tier rebound for a stability shoe

Watch-outs

— Most expensive shoe in the group at $160
— Heavier and bulkier than mild-stability options
— Support is the modern non-posted kind — not for severe overpronators needing motion control

How they stack up

Brooks Beast GTS 24

Far more corrective and much heavier than every other shoe here — it provides maximal motion control where the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 offers moderate GuideRails support and the Saucony Guide 18 offers only mild stability. Firmer and far less plush than the cushioned Saucony Hurricane 25 and ASICS Gel-Kayano 32.

Saucony Hurricane 25

Plusher and more cushioned than the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25 and Saucony Guide 18, with a softer, bouncier ride. Like the ASICS Gel-Kayano 32, it relies on a wide, cushioned platform rather than a medial post, making it less corrective than the maximal Brooks Beast GTS 24 but far more comfortable for long miles.
