Customer Reviews Brooks Beast® '11

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.

In just 3 weeks these shoes have done more to reduce my severe foot pain from over-pronation than orthotics, shots or even surgery have done in years. I would recommend starting by wearing them for short times until your muscles get used to the change in gait.

I bought this shoe for my husband based on his size and width while he was on travel for 5 weeks, doing a lot of running. Buying a shoe for someone else, crazy, right? Well, the Beast worked out perfectly for him. He needed a stability shoe that was supportive for flat feet but cushioned enough to take a beating. My husband just finished his course (and a 10k yesterday) with no joint pain. The Beast lives up to its reputation!

These shoes are true to size and width. The area around the ankle is a little bit higher than my last two pairs of Brooks causing the shoes to rub me the wrong way, but I was able to break them in after a couple weeks. They're very comfortable for me - I'm a taller and bigger runner. I'd recommend them to a friend and buy another pair.

This is a fantastic shoe for the moderate over-pronator. With it's built in medial heel wedging it can't be beat. Just remember, like most athletic shoes it runs a size small so go up one size when fitting this shoe. The beast is just that... a beast of a runner. But you don't have to be a runner to enjoy it's ride.

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!
