With over 75,000 miles recorded in my logbook since 1980, No shoe matches the Brooks Beast. It is simply the best. If I thought the Beast would be discontinued, I would buy 50 of them. Enough said.

I have tried wearing these and the bottom of my feet are getting calloused. Also, my feet get very tired if I wear them too long. I tried them for about five days.

Love these shoes! Ran with them out of the box for 10 miles and had no issues! I am flatfooted and it is normally hard for me to find shoes that work comfortably for me, these are them!

I ordered this in 11.5 D .On arrival while trying it on I couldn't get either foot in these shoes -- everything was clear -- but they were close to a size and a half small, and narrow. I happened to have ordered another pair of shoes in the same shipment from a different manufacturer in the same size -- and they fit perfectly . Shipping work to China is one thing, but performing work with absolutely no quality controls is another. Bye Bye Brooks!

I'd also recommend: Clarks,Johnston & Murphy ,Asics

Really great shoe for those who need a lot of padding and lot of control. However, this iteration is hilariously narrow, even the 4E width. I have worn other Brooks shoes in the past and have only needed the 2E width, so they really screwed up the width of this shoe. Too bad. If you actually need the full 4E width, avoid this version of the Beast.

I'd also recommend: New Balance, Asics

As a solidly built guy (5'9 and 190lbs) and with a previously collapsed arch, I need a running shoe that has great arch support and cushioning. I had Brooks Beast recommended to me as a running shoe about 7 years ago and they've been all I run on since. Yes, they are heavier than other running shoes, but the arch support is what I need. I run about a dozen miles a week regularly and occasionally will train up for a longer race. They aren't a miracle cure, but they are pretty great, and I won't run in anything else. I've got a second pair I just use for walking and I have so much less pain than when I walk in work shoes. If you are a bigger runner or need arch support, I really recommend you check these out.

I had been an Asics addict prior to discovering these! Although, Asics makes fine shoes they did not seem to last that long where as the Beast I can wear every day for months on end before they start to show and real wear! The Beast certainly are pricey but they last easily three times longer than any other sneakers that I have tried!
