Love the Beast but time for different colors.. the light color is not appealing I had to return them. Too bad, Brooks has had a long history of great designs.

These are fantastic felling shoes. Have not had them long so cant speak to durability but they definitely help some tired feet.

Still needed width of 4E (like BB16) but only in Brooks Beast. 2E worked in BB 14 and all other shoes/athletic wear I use. If you are largish, get 4E. I'm 5'11" and 225 lbs. Would like it if 4E came in all colors of the line.

Durable shoes but lacks necessary flexibility. Pleasant with the fulfillment of order.

Second pair. Bood quality. Two points I'll make: 1) the material on the bottom of the shoe goes very hard when cold. Sometimes I leave them outside overnight and the material goes very hard due to the temperature (say 30-40 degrees. Would be nice if this did not happen 2) The laces are inferior to the first pair of runners I had. Thery actually lasted the life of the shoe which was nice. The ones you are using now will not last long

I love all of the Beast running shoes. I have been wearing them for about 8 years and these are my favorite pair. They have even more support than the previous Beast shoes, which I find amazing!

Finally a shoe with a really generous toe box! The design and red shoe laces are very sharp. The only thing I'd change is to make that very hard and inflexible back a little softer so the shoe is easier to get on!

Ordered the size twelve originally and they were at least a half size too big in length. I usually wear a size 12 in New Balance but now a 11.5 in Brooks.

I wear a 4E and they were not in stock, so I ordered a half size larger. Too narrow so they are going back.

Might be a little short. I have used size 14 for several years and this one is marginally long enough. Perhaps as my weight presses on cushion and time passes, it will improve. Otherwise it is fine.

Comfortable, but very bulky. The outside facing side of the shoe looks great, but on the inside it looks like you're wearing a platform shoe. There's also more space than needed in the toe box - the flexible fabric may be contributing to this. More colors and less bulky design would be great!

BEAST 18 IS A BETTER FIT FOR ME THAN THE BEAST 16. FEELS A BIT WIDER AND MORE TOE ROOM.

I swear by these, I've been wearing Beasts for 10 years now, they are the only shoe I've found that support my arch properly. I'm a 300 lb guy and always on the move, my feet and ankles are always taking the brunt of the abuse but these shoes keep me moving. They'd be five star if the price was a little more reasonable but at the end of the day my feet are worth it.

I love the beast. I am very heavy and it is a very supportive shoe. My only complaint is I wish it had more colors and designs.

wide and roomy toe box. Rigid heel makes it difficult to get on and off, especially with socks.

For stability and comfort the Beast is hard to beat, there are a couple shortcomings though. The webbing in top of the toe box wears through very quickly and the sole material is only good for about 3 months, @50-70 mi per week.

Very good shoe. Would like to see more colors. The red laces on my most recent pair get a lot of compliments and questions about additional colors.The shoe itself is very stable and comfortable

Great shoe with great support! Material selection is great, comfort is amazing. Cons : insole material is Polyurethane with great cushioning but insole bottom showing lots of voids and holes from manufacturing. This is unacceptable for a shoe in that price range, this is a very easy manufacturing process to control and this tells me there was no attention put to it. Aesthetically - very sloppy glue marks on the mating line - this is also a miss from manufacturing
