Fantastic shoe. It is very well constructed, with great support for my feet. I have bad feet and need this support. I wear them for every day wear as well as walking and light hiking for exercise, and my feet feel great!

I am not a runner. I am a big person and I was looking for comfort and I found it with this shoe.

I am not a runner, but use these at work in the Emergency Room, where I am the Physician, and I am on my feet a lot. Great support, and long lasting.

I ordered these shoes for my son,they were recommended by his Doctor who also wears them.
He is so pleased with the way they fit and feel he has gotten a second pair.
He swears by them.

I got the shoes after having foot surgery. The doctor recommended brooks shoes. These have a lot of stability and room for my foot to swell and it has very good support. They’re very comfortable

Support matters when you get older or have bad knees.

These are my husband's go to sneaker. He finds them comfortable and easy to wear. They style is okay, but then again it is a sneaker. It doesn't look as bulky as the online photo.

I will continue to purchase the Beast in years to come. I have bought several pairs of these shoes over the years and really have never thought of buying anyother shoe. You can't go wrong with the Beast.

This is the 4th pair of Beasts my son has bought. They are very hard to find. RaggedMountain Running has them and occasionally we have to pick him up a pair. Why are the Beasts special? I don't know. But, they are hard to find.

shoe fit like a glove from the get go - lots of room in toe box and the rear end holds my heel firmly in place - I have narrow heels but wide forefoot - Brooks' last fits me perfectly.
These aren't the lightest shoes but they are sturdy. Sole is fairly stiff (positive) and torsional rigidity is also good.
I'm hard on the heels (walker, not a runner) so not sure yet how sole will hold up but so far super happy.

Mother of all support shoes bar none. All aspects of the shoe construct are worthy of boasting from heel to toe, landing pad to top tier. You get what you pay for. In this case, you also get what you need as it is a support shoe for stabilization and to create no supination but instead pronating checks & balances. Fits well, ready to use and predictable. Been wearing them for decades

The shoes fit great and are quality built. I wish I would have found them sooner. My feet have never been happier. This past summer walking 3 weeks in Italy with no complaints. Thanks Brooks !

Buy these.

This is my third pair of Brooks Beast '18. I've retired two pair of Brooks '16. I bought the latest pair for my rotation, I wear the Beasts everyday.
And the latest color is great. I know the Beast '20 are coming out in March. I will probably order those as well, and keep the '18's until they 'wear out'.
I use the Sof Sol Air Orthotics with these. I have high arches, and although these insoles are some of the best, I like the rigidity of the Sof Sol arch.
