Customer Reviews Brooks Beast '18

Excellent.

Have worn the Glycerin series and decided to try these. Think they are great. Wear all around. Little higher toe bed that I like. Well made

Probably the best sneaker I've owned. First time with Brooks and my size 13 wide feet fit very comfortably in these. The arch support is also excellent. Been exercising and walking in them for months now and they are in great shape.

Incredible shoe! Tried a Saucony as I was frustrated with my 2 last pairs of Brooks, however Saucony did not have the support that Brooks has. I ended up with back and hip pains. I'm a big guy, 6'4 340 size 15 EE, and this shoe fits perfect. I can start walking longer and back to feeling balanced.

I've been wearing the Brooks Beast for about 10 years now. They are the only shoe I can wear that offers strong arch support. The Beast '18 is a big improvement over the fit of the Beast '16. The '16 in medium was too narrow while the wide was a bit too wide. The '18 returns to "true-to-size" and it is very comfortable. Ans the grey/white/navy color combination is very stylish. The Beast '18 is highly recommended.

After adding my arch support the shoes are very comfortable. Very few shoes get my seal of approval, this is my third pair, and Brooks is #1 in my humble opinion.

Pretty comfortable like my Beast 16's

I have worn many different versions of the Beast over the years and the '16 model was so bad for fit that it gave me a bunion. I switched to the Brooks GTS. So, I thought I would give this new model a try and they definitely fit better and have better arch support and cushioning than in previous models. This is so much better than the '16 model!

I have been wearing these shoes for over 10 years. After I had back surgery, they were a life saver because I am on my feet all day. These look more appropriate for work but even if they didn't I would wear them because they are that comfortable. They are expensive but they are worth it!

I think I was a little disappointed at first expecting these to be more shock absorbing based on reviews and description of the technology in them and the cost, definitely the cost. with that said they are very comfortable overall. they fit very well. the mid and heel fit snug with plenty of room in the toe box. I didn't buy these to run I bought them to walk. I weigh 426 pounds and I need something that would be shock absorbing for my knees and ankles and stop my feel from tilting when I walk. these are bout 80 dollars more than I spend on a pair of shoes. they are not the most comfortable shoes Ive worn but if they can keep this feel longer than an 80 dollar pair of shoes then they will be worth every penny. my two real complaints is the color options and styling could be much much better and oddly the laces. wow for such a good shoe why give laces that stretch really bad and break. I broke one on the second day I had them. and they pulled very thin the first use.

the best Beast that Brooks has released in a long time!! I can finally wear the 11.5’s again. I used to have to buy 12’s because all the older models were too narrow in the 11.5 even though they were 4E. Going to order me an extra pair ?? of these new ones!

Used to buy New Balance all the time now Brooks is my go to brand. The Beast is a solid performer all the way around.

The Beast 18 has changed and not for the better! I have always had a medium width shoe except for now as the Beast medium was to tight, I then reordered in a wide and guess what...they are to tight also. Guess I need to move to a different shoe. Very sad.

Beast is the best if you have flat feet or pronated feet. They just work. Can't explain it but many pairs later I still buy them.

Shoes are extremely comfortable even for a diabetic with sensitive feet. Not only do they look great but are very well made. As always, Zappos has the best customer service I have ever dealt with.

I have always worn a medium width shoe, however when thes arrived it felt like I was in a narrow! Had to replace with a wide even though Brooks said “ the toe box in the new Beast is wider”.

Improved over Beast 16..I am a over-pronator and this shoe is the best I have ever worn. Worth every penny as I have flat feet and a very bad left ankle.

This is the Brooks shoe I have been waiting for! It seems all Brooks shoes have been running small recently, but this one has a true fit. The Beast 18 is better in every way to the Beast 16 or any other Brooks shoe currently available. It is so good, I may buy another pair soon just in case they are hard to find later.

I have been waiting for the new Beast 18 for some time now. The last decent Beast was the 14! The 16s were terrible, I tried at least 4 different pairs trying to find one that fit and felt as good as my worn out 14s, no luck. Hooray for the 18s. I love these shoes!! Don't change them Brooks!

Great shoe, fit & look, but too much $$$$

Brooks Beast has long been associated with quality and durability. I've worn the Beast in the past and thrill with the comfort and control. Not designed for the light or neural runner but for someone like me who pronates bad and need extra support. If the Beast doesn't do it for you, I don't know what would.
