Product Information:
- Running shoe built for the excessive over-pronator who requires a combination of cushioning and reinforced stability.
- The Brooks Beast is designed for those with low or flat arches and excessive pronation.
- Delivers maximum support through an engineered combination of sophisticated stability technologies.
- Unique heel and forefoot HydroFlow ST-XL® optimizes midsole cushioning.
- Engineered MC-Pod™ midsole and outsole configuration improves motion control and flexibility.
- Brooks new MoGo midsole is designed to provide a soft, cushy first feel that lasts. Offers increased energy return and remarkable cushioning without sacrificing stability.
- Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (PDRB™) creates a smoother transition from the midstance phase into the propulsion phase. Extended, dual density DRB Accel™ midsole enhances tunable torsion of the midfoot.
- External heel stabilizer cradles the heel and provides medial and lateral stability.
- e-1™ midsole/outsole compound works to progressively dampen the forces of energy that occur during the contact phase. e-2™ midsole/outsole compound enhances resilience under the metatarsals, resulting in a more powerful propulsion.
- Ultimate sockliner with Implus adds cushioning and durability.
- HRP PLUS™ Element™ air mesh and linings for durability.

Perfect shape for my foot - not too curved -
Struggling with splay foot, I have found this to be a really good shoe that fits well while providing the support I need for my feet. My orthotics do work with these shoes though, for power walking, cutting the back half of the shoe liner allows the orthotic and foot to sit better inside the shoe. Have been pleased enough to buy 4 pairs.

I bought these shoes for my son-in-law as they are the only shoes he uses for running. He runs everyday and he is a large man. He usually goes through 3 or 4 pair a year.

Beast:: good for big ppl w pronation -
I first tried this shoe on at a local running store to make sure it fit; after my first pair became worn I bought the second pair here. I hope to order again from Zappos. I recommend that for running shoes you buy locally first and then use Zappos for the second pair. Buy running shoes a bit bigger/wider than normal.

No way -
The shoe lasted one week before I returned them. My left heel would not lock into place well and the top padding started to peel away. NO WAY will I stay with Brooks.

Review of brooks beast-sept 2008 -
I bought this shoe because Saucony does not make a black running shoe in black. The shoe overall is okay, but the arch support does not feel suitable for excessive over-pronators. The look is great, but the Saucony Grid Stabil-6 has far superior arch support.

Great shoe. I have nearly flat feet and have been battling foot pain for about 2 years. I have always worn NB shoes with my custom orthotics. This is my first pair of Brooks and I love them. The shoe is very stable and has great cushioning.

Flat feet -
I have about the flattest feet imaginable. Brooks Beast with insoles were the most comfortable running shoe I've found, and made it possible for me to get on a regular running program. They're even better now that I have some M.D. prescribed insoles to replace the originals. I believe I could run a marathon now without my feet hurting.

WOW -
Wore NB my entire life but never again after wearing the Beast. Fastest training times ever along with a comfortable springy feel. By far the best shoe on the market for larger runners that need support and cushioning. Could be more eye-appealing.

The beast -
My husband has severe foot problems and these shoes have been the most comfortable he has found. He actually will be having an ankle fusion in November. He will continue to buy this shoe!

Put the Beast on your feet - These are very comfortable, I have purchased others of this model. They are made for people that are heavy and last a long time. I'll buy more when these wear out.

This is the only shoe that can take my abuse as a larger person so I get 1 to 2 new pairs every year. It's the only shoe I get; it's that good!

I have heel spurs according to my foot doctor. He recommended a year ago that I wear these shoes everyday. They make a big difference and significantly reduce the pain.

Brooks Beast -
This is a very good shoe for walking. I walk 2 mi. a day and so far so good. I'm a little disappointed that the cushioning. Was hoping for a little more. Overall, I give it 4 stars. This is my first venture away from New Balance. The 4E that I got with the Brooks was pretty true to width. May buy them again.

I work in a very busy hospital Emergency Room, and after 12 hours I am still ready to keep going thanks to these shoes. I just wish they came in an all black version.

Beast Rocks!!
This is my first pair of Brooks shoes and I've loved them so far. A little pricey, but it's been worth it. I'm a 200 pounder with lower back injuries, but still manage to put 10-20 miles on the road during a week. The Beast provides the comfort and support I need better than any other shoe I've tried (including NB, Saucony).

Comfy & a tad heavy -
Comfortable shoe with little break-in required. I'm a walker, and these are my first Brooks shoes. They handle my orthotics well, and are pretty good on their own for arch support. They feel heavier than my trusty NB 843's (sadly, no longer available), and they really are about 14% heavier. Size 14 Beast weighs in at 570 g; the NB 843 is right at 500. Not a big deal now, but on a marathon walk I'm wondering if it would be. Anyway, so far, so good.

Brooks Beast for life -
My feet have always plagued me when trying to run. I experienced discomfort with tight toe boxes and constantly got blisters. Turns out Nike Shox are just for looks if you have wide feet. I looked these up on Runner's World under flat-footed over pronators. Many people favored them so I went to a specialty shop in town (sorry Zappos, but you've got my business next time). These were amazing, but cost more there, convenience fee plus supporting local economy, so I bought them and it's been a pleasure ever since.
