Customer Reviews Brooks Beast '18

I have found the Beast '18 to be the most comfortable sneaker that I have ever worn. I bought two pair because my running shoe store informed me that Brooks was changing this shoe starting in 2020. I sincerely hope that they keep the way the shoe fits and the way it supports the foot.

I thought this would be the typical shoe experience for me, regretting my decision after my first 10-hour shift on my feet. To my amazement, my feet felt better at the end of my shift than they usually did at the beginning of my shift with other shoes.

Great shoes!!! My son has had 3 pair and I have bought a pair for my husband. Wonderful fit, support and hold up well. Will buy again!

Beast 18 are a great shoe. I'm 265 lbs., 50 yrs old, in the gym every day 5 miles on the treadmill, no problems with these shoes and my custom orthotics. Heels no longer hurt. I have flat arches, heel spurs, plantar fascia, prior knee surgery, prior foot surgery, previous broken foot, torn tendons in the ankles, back problems, etc... Over 20 years serving in the military as an Infantryman (ground pounder). I have always used New Balance or Asics, however, as I'm getting older, I need a better quality shoe. The beast fit the bill, very comfortable, pain has gone away during workouts. I'm on the treadmill for 1 hour now compared to 30 minutes wearing Asics. When I get off the treadmill and walk to cool down, heels do not hurt. Will see how they hold up over time. Great fitting shoe,room in the toe area. My toes are no longer scrunching together where the Asics gave me blisters. Plenty of room for custom orthotics. I just hope they hold up. Little pricey. but, if my heels don't hurt and they hold up for 6 months, this will be my # 1 shoe.

Great shoes, work well while on concrete floors all day.

Second pair of Beasts. My husband loves them. We had purchased a different Brooks last year, I believe it was the Levitate. His legs are thin, muscular, & bowed. The wide base of the Beasts prevents pronation of the knees that can cause pain &/or tears. Beast has unparalleled comfort!

Really good foot stability. Full disclosure, I didn't buy these for running. I broke my foot and,as it healed, I needed a solid shoe after wearing a boot several months. These worked perfectly. They are my go to shoes now. Great quality.

My feet are not tired at all wearing these shoes. You get what you pay for and it's well worth the price!

This is the 6 pair of Brooks I have bought. All have made a huge difference in my feet. I have about 40 paid of shoes & I only weare the Brooks now......

I have always been a shoe person. And Brooks beast are the very best shoe I have ever found

Awesome Shoe. I buy 4 to 6 pairs a year and I don't believe there is a better shoe on the market. I am 260lbs and this shoe holds up to the beating.

With custom insole my back no longer hurts in my daily activities. Great shoe!

Never disappointed in the Beast - exactly why I keep wearing the Beast for last 20+ years

The best shoe to protect my diabetic feet. The also lessen the effect of the pain from my neuropathy in my feet and legs.

My son has feet problems. Loves these shoes. As they are very comfortable.

I've been meaning to send your team a message about how comfortable this shoe is. I've had tens upon tens running and hiking shoes over the years and as I've gotten older (I'm 73) I have had problems with my feet (bunions) from all the running I used to do and all the uncomfortable Italian shoes I used to wear at work! This shoe is the most amazing shoe I've ever had for my foot problems, I cringe when I have to put on regular shoes for evening functions etc. Please don't ever discontinue this shoe! If it's possible to make enhancements to it I will be the first in line to buy it! Thanks.

After two new knees, these shoes made it easier to rehab and get me up and running again!

I need them for my back pain they help with si joints

Will not wear any other running shoe. Seriously injured my knee and got plantar fasciitis when the shoe manufacturers made paper thin insoles which provided no shock absorption. This evidently occurred to make shoes lighter in response to the barefoot running fad. The Beast model shoes have incredible padding and shock absorption. I have been able to discontinue orthotics because of the support and padding in the shoes.

I use them primarily for walking. Comfortable andI really enjoy the support they give my ankles.
