Customer Reviews Brooks Beast® '11

Treadmill shoes - This is my 12th pair. I like the inner sole support and that is why I buy this venerable pair of shoes. Great on a treadmill...

Shoe size & comfort - The shoes feel great. I have had a hard time finding tennis shoes that feel good like New Balance used to. They seem to be a tiny bit undersized. I will get the 1/2 size up next time. Wish they went up by 1/4 size!

Flat foot wonderful - For someone who is a major over pronator, Brooks has been a consistently positive investment. They may not have the most stylish appearance but my feet are happier because I wear them.

Good Quality Shoe for the Money - I buy these shoes for my son who works in the pizza industry and is on his feet for 12 hours a day- when these shoes are new, they are great but they break down in about 1 month-- but he is a big guy- I think they are a good buy for the money.

Good shoe - Only shoe that I have found for a fit big guy with flat feet who has had knee surgery great cushioning, great support and comfort. Have used them for years. Sizing is off compared to other shoes. Kinda expensive, but no other shoe I have found compares.

Still wearing, however, since the newest update to the popular motion control Beast I find myself disappointed. I am not a runner but an instructor within a controlled work surface area. With the newest addition Beast I am wondering if the premature failure for support in this shoe is due to the change in design. I have worn at least 14 pairs of this over pronaters wide fix an conclude under my 250 body weight it died in half the time of the earlier model. Giving it one more try.

I run city sidewalks and had to stop wearing this shoe with less than 30 miles of wear because my knees, feet and hips were killing me. I love Brooks shoes, but I'm a neutral runner and believe me when I say that the Beast is the antithesis of neutral.

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.

Feels great. It's quite comfortable, but part of the bottom broke on the first day I went for a run. Maybe, I'm just unlucky...either way, I don't recommend buying this.

I've worn brooks beast for many years. This model narrows the toe box significantly (by comparison with older shoes of same size and model). It's quite a disappointment that Brooks decided to do this: the shoe no longer fits me.

Bad buy - These shoes have no more comfort or support than a flip flop, way overpriced, a $50.00 New Balance is 10 times as good, very over rated, the description of this shoe is a farce. One of the worst and regretful purchases I've ever made.

Extremely comfortable and well made running shoe. I always purchase Brooks Beast for my running shoe. Great support and comfort - still comfortable after a marathon!

These shoes are great for my husband. I tried to convince him to get a pair of less expensive walking shoes but he wouldn't have it. These are all he will wear.

This shoe has cured my aching heels just by switching from Asics which still has the best heel comfort. Changing shoes has kept me running over the years so for now this shoe has me running with a gait that feels great during & after the run.

Got these for an everyday shoe. Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn straight out of the box. They are incredibly light for the amount of support and cushion you get with these shoes. Before these shoes I had never heard of "Brooks" the brand. Glad I took a chance, amazing shoes.

God looking shoe & very comfortable. ZAPPOS delivers promptly and makes returns easy and FREE. ZAPPOS is the first place I look for my shoes. Thanks ZAPPOS!

I have owned several pairs of Brooks Beast and each time the fit is perfect. Also, Zappos shipping is awesome!

I have been wearing Brooks Beast for many years. This model was much narrower than I expected and far too tight. I am not normally a "wide" but I am returning this pair due to the narrowness.

I have been married and I can count on one hand how many times my husband has made positive comments about an article of clothing. He purchased the beast and has commented several times about the comfort of this shoe not only to me but to several friends and relatives. He loves them. He is on his second pair.

I only run in "The Beast." It's the only running shoe I could take right out of the box, put on and off I go...no stretching or wearing in. I think I'm on my 10th pair right now. I'm a big guy who weighs 220 pounds. The Beast lasts me for about a year and a half of running about 30 miles a week. I am very pleased with the Brooks Beast and I would recommend this shoe for anyone who is over 200 pounds. The cushioning is outstanding. It's well worth the money. I like the added blue...very cool.

I love these shoes. I overpronate and I have struggled with plantar fasciitis, and these shoes help both issues. Plus, they're available in a 4E width. I run 10-12 miles a week, and I have been pain-free (from plantar fasciitis) for about 18 months now.

If your feet need pronation, then these are the walking/running shoes to get. Forget the price and make your feet happy.

Excellent shoe, great support. I ordered EE width and wished I had ordered EEEE width as they feel a little tight width wise. But not enough to send back.

I walked 52 miles, mostly flat gravel road, last week and I have no blisters. Six feet two inches and 290 pounds means my feet hit the ground more than 15,000 times each day with some real force. I couldn't keep it up without my size 14 Brooks Beast shoes. I can vouch for them.

Bought these for my husband. He usually always gets beasts, but last pair were Nike and he really missed his brooks. He loves these shoes and the darker colors. He has vowed to never stray from his beasts again. Very comfortable and felt broken in from the get-go.
