Customer Reviews Brooks Beast '20

Two podiatrists recommended Brooks Beast Running Shoe for me. I have Peripheral Neuropathy which is painful and keeps me from regular walking. Too painful! BUT!!! after buying my first pair of Brooks Beast Running Shoes I can now walk a quarter of a mile a day and progressing to walking farther. These shoes changed my life. Thanks Brooks!!!!!

Love ?em!! Fit great and are very comfortable.

Perfect for my husband. Balance and stability are a must. Very satisfied.

Really comfortable shoe for my wide, flat feet. Haven't put many miles on them yet, but really pleased so far.

Not a runner. But my bad knees and over pronation love the Brooks Beast. I've been buying them for years. The Beast 20 is just the latest version. I love it. Keep it up Brooks!

Very comfortable shoe. I have put hundreds of miles on each of several pairs of the Beasts. I am a heavy guy that runs a lot and I have had no trouble with foot or leg issues. Also, when I run in to any issues with the shoes, the customer support is excellent. I have had at least 3 pairs of these and many other pairs of Brooks shoes and will continue to Run Happy.

Only shoes I can wear with flat feet

Best pair of shoes I've ever owned . I have foot problems and so far they are keeping my feet comfortable.

I will never buy a different brand

I've been running in the beast for 30 years. From road 5Ks to 100 mile trail runs, it has been durable, comfortable and kept me nearly injury free. It provides good stability and the cushioning an old guy like me appreciates, especially late in the run.

Great shoe, that I returned. I wanted an alternative to the Addiction Walker. Too soft for my 83 year old feet.

Greatest shoe I have ever owned. Nothing compares when it comes to comfort.

Excellent fit and comfort. Just what I was looking for. Need longer laces x 2 inches, possibly sculptured type, in order to do ?performance? lacing? to stay tight over long distance. Great shoe! JV

The best for wide foot. My 3rd pair but first of the new model.

Best shoes ever. I had plantar fascitis some years ago and the podiatrist recommended these shoes. As soon as I put them on, the plantar fascitis began to disappear and was gone in just a few weeks.

This shoe was recommended by my doctor for post surgery for plantars faciitus. The shoe is very supportive on the top which is necessary for this recovery and the sole is soft enough to be forgiving each step thus reducing heal pain. The fit is snug and comfortable.

Let me just start by saying that this is not my first, but my second pair of Brooks "Beast" shoes. I have a problem with my legs and feet caused by Peripheral Neuropathy. My legs and feet used to bother me all the time. My quality of life suffered terribly as a result. Little things that most take for granted like just sitting and watching a show on TV. For me sitting still without constantly crossing and uncrossing my legs, shuffling my feet, getting up and walking around the room were all the things I had to do to try and get my legs to stop cramping up; the bottoms of my feet always feeling like they were burning, and the constant electrical surges up and down my calves were constant and annoying! Back in November of 2021, I got my first pair of Brooks Beast. Size 12, black! I liked the way they looked, and I liked the way they felt even more! I had stopped wearing anything that hugged my feet because it hurt so badly. However, something was different with these shoes? These Brooks Beast fit my feet like a good pair of soft leather gloves. Comfortably, I couldn't believe it; I have many pairs of good shoes, New Balance, Adidas, Nike, Shepard & Wolfe, and I pay good money for them. EvenI mentioned the size of my shoes earlier for a reason. as good as some of them are, nothing has come close to these Brooks Beast. I mentioned my shoe size earlier for a reason. My first pair of Brooks Beast fit me just a little too snug, so on this pair, I added just half a size, and although I thought I had found perfection on the first pair, this pair is absolutely heavenly! I realize to some people, I may sound like I'm going a bit over the top, but until you live with chronic pain you have no clue what it's like! I took the time to do this Review for two reasons. First, because I wanted the Brooks company to know just how much I appreciate the quality of their footwear, and second so that anyone else who has foot pain and has wondered about a nice pair of comfortable shoes knows exactly where to start their search! Go try a pair of Brooks shoes on and see for yourself. Your Feet Will Thank You! I realize these are supposedly running shoes, but I have an 8" pin in my left ankle from ankle reconstruction, and I am numb from the knees down. My running days are pretty much over, and when I tried these shoes for the first time, I didn't even realize that they were grinning shoes. I know that they are so comfortable that I wear them daily now! One last thing, due to my leg numbness, I grab with my toes unconsciously, and all of my inner soles wear out right under my big toe! These Brooks have not succumbed to my onslaught to date! I had to say it because all my other shoes, no matter the cost, have worn out in that spot until Brooks!

I use these shoes for walking on concrete 8-10 hours a day. They are great with support and comfort. I did have the fabric on my toe wear thin leaving a small hole with in 3 months... But the company was incredible and replaced them for me. I believe it was a fluke and have not had the issue again. I will continue to buy these shoes. I went through several before I found these. They were definitely worth the wait!

Exceptional fit and ride. Fit pretty much perfectly. (10.5 wide)

Great but my insoles squeak with every step.. never happened before

I've been running in Brooks shoes for over 20 years. Brooks running shoes are very comfortable and feel better on my feet than other brands of running shoes. I like the Beast because it is supportive and well cushioned. I also like that a few years ago, Brooks made the Beast a little lighter than earlier models.
