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.

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.

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.

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.

The most comfortable shoes I own.
These Brooks Beast are the most comfortable shoes I own. Mostly, I had been buying New Balance because they always fit so well. I didn't think NB could be beat for comfort, but I was wrong. They also look good.

Extremely comfortable, great cushioning support throughout the entire shoe. Excellent arch support to help my planter fasciitis problem I have from wearing shoes that did not support me like the Beast does.

Best Shoe Ever -
Having just received my 6th pair of shoes from Zappos.com, I must say the Brooks Beast is the most comfortable shoe I have worn in the last 8 years. Being a diabetic for 33 years, my feet are very sensitive to shoes. I have orthodics to place in my shoes BUT when the Beast arrived I tried them without the ortho inserts. 2 days later I had still not put them in and no pain in the foot! Being afraid Brooks my discontinue them, I will be ordering 2 or 3 more pair for future wear.

Great fit for a boy with size 14 feet (and he's 12!)
Good grief! it's hard to find the right shoe for a larger foot, especially when the foot (or feet) in question need good support for over-pronation. These seemed to do the trick. My son liked the style (he's picky about color) and felt they were comfortable. I suppose the only cons are the fact that they seemed to run a tad short and they don't make 1/2 sizes--after size 13-1/2 it goes 14, 15. Also, the laces seemed way too short for the shoe size. While I don't want him tripping, it would seem that a larger shoe would come with an appropriate length. I was able to swap them out for a longer pair, thankfully.

Good shoe, but not for low volume feet.
I'm a big guy, used to be a bigger guy. My old shoe was the Saucony Stabil. I can't seem to find it in my size anywhere, so I tried the Beast. I have very low volume feet. Whenever I buy a pair of Chacos, I have to send them to the factory to have the straps shortened. That was my problem with the Beast. When I laced tight enough to hold my foot in place, it felt like my foot was being choked. If I didn't lace tight though, my foot flopped around inside the shoe and was even less comfortable… even with several lacing tricks, insoles, and different socks, I was never able to make this shoe work for me.
