Customer Reviews Brooks Beast '20

I recently became a fan of brooks due to some foot issues I've been having. I've gotta say i love the beast series! Super supportive and all day comfort at work. I loved The beast so much i bought every color in 23 and now I'm collecting all the 20's. You make an amazing product that has truly changed my life. I've worn ugly supportive shoes before and hated them. Keep making great designs! I just ordered the new color 23's :-)

For about 20 years, I've worn Beast running shoes and have dearly loved them. Four months ago, I got a new pair, but the heel caved in. It hurts to walk now. I've only ever worn Beast, so I don't know what to do. It feels like losing a friend.

I have been wearing brooks sneakers for a year now. They have really helped with the pain I have in my feet and ankles but the Beast 20 is the first one that has taken the pain away completely. I have fallen arches which has led to plantar fascitius and a painful ankle inversion. This sneaker gives my arch the support it needs while also giving my ankle structure so it doesn't roll inward. Great shoe for anyone dealing with any of these issues. I am disappointed that the Beast 20 seems to be discontinued and the reviews I've read say that the Beast 23 is not as good. Please keep this shoe it is amazing!

I have worn the Beast through 20 Plus marathons and 5 Ultra Marathons and the shoe has given me exceptional results. No problems with Neuromas, blisters or arch problems. Gave me great balance and good traction in the mountains. When I retired from long distancing I decided to use the Beast for my hiking . Great performance on the mountains, trails and road.

I wear them to work everyday and they are very comfortable. My favorite part is the tread they offers a lot grip. I would say confidence in n every step

The Beast is what it is, and I've come to appreciate that. I used to run in the Addiction as I need a stability shoe, but the latest version of that just doesn't fit my foot. I tried the HOKA Gaviota for a while but their newer versions didn't fit either. I had avoided the Beast because the name seems to imply it's made for a heavier person, which I am not. But now it's all I run in. It's a somewhat heavy stability shoe with a decent width. Honestly it's the only shoe I feel comfortable in right now. I'm not in a hurry to try the new model, either, as these so-called upgrades don't always do right for me. But I lean toward Brooks whenever I can.

I'm 6-4 250 pounds. This shoe is sturdy for walking and jogging and doesn't result in knee pain that other shoes cause.

Shoes are shorter than last years and more snug in toe region. The back breaks down easily when sliding foot in shoe. Same stability, which is reason I bought my third pair. Bought online and can???t return for half size up.

I don't run anymore but I walk alot. I needed a good shoe with support since I overpronate. This shoe so far fits the bill ! I bought one in the store, liked it and bought another on-line. The one thing I would change to make putting them on easier is change the shape at the top of the back or add a tab?

Sole flattens out and becomes unstable after a few hundred miles. Great shoe for a few weeks, after that's only mediocre.

Not much cushion, but good for stability. Laces are short, had to buy longer ones.

The Beast is very comfortable and has great support. I'm not a runner. I'm older and I use the shoes for everyday wear and walking!

These shoes are stiff and not comfortable as I remember my 1st pair of beast. I have several brooks line of shoes and these will reqiure some breaking in.

Nice soft and comfortable. Only wear one for now. But it's support is great! Much better than any other one.

The shoe fits and feels confortable but there is a minor defect on the toe box of the shoe that bothers the toe.

These are the only shoes that I can buy to give me proper support for my feet

Not a runner, someday Brooks may figure out runners aren't their only buyers. None of the questions about running apply to me. I just have very wide (4E) feet, high arches, and need a shoe that fits with good support. These do that very well. Very comfortable, very good support (needed to add an orthotic for my high arches). Lightweight. Good cushioning, at least for walking, stairs, etc.

Best shoe ever. Great support. I will never wear another shoe!!!!!

I'm a female with flat feet, fallen arches & arthritis in feet. It sucks! I live in these sneakers and have for years. I'm on my feet all day at work and these are the best shoes for me. They have the BEST support for me. I've tried the women's Ariel but the beast just has more support in my opinion. The beast 20 is perfection. I prefer the black ones, I swear they have more support than the red or grey ones. Weird I know, but I do feel a difference.

Excellent support and stability, without feeling heavy. Like the wide toe box and narrow heel for very comfortable fit. Not running due to knee and ankle injuries, so can't really speak to launch and high impact capabilities.

These shoes have been the best shoes for me for years. They fit well, are very comfortable, give great mileage and keep me injury free. I wish they were not discontinued.
