I have struggled my whole life with pronation. If you get shin splints on the inside of your shins this shoe basically fixes it. You do need to be careful about rolling your ankle because of the awesome inner support so be mindful. I do balancing exercises to train my brain where the ankle is. Had a hard time finding this shoe in stores but it's easy to buy online if you know your size.

The orthopedic doctor recommended these shoes for my son. He never complains about his feet or arches hurting while wearing them. We have owned 4 pair so far. He says they are comfortable and I know they are sturdy and durable.

I love them, I like the cushioning and the stability the shoe offers. 2 thumps up, I?ll be getting another pair soon.

I?ve been running or walking non-competitively in the Brooks Beast since the late 1990?s. The show has changed a lot over the years but still offers excellent support and stability.

I am a walker. I walk 10K steps 6 days per week. I have worn Brooks for over 15 years. I usually get the Addiction, but wanted to try a different model. Fits great but too much flex on the top of the show regarding the fabric. I will go back to my Addiction Walker but will wear the Beast for casual.

I have lousy feet. The Brooks Beast was recommended to me by my orthopedist to enable me to start exercise walking. I also wear a pair for everyday knocking about. Great cushioning and stability. Perfect for me.

Does not seem to have the support of the previous line of Brooks Beast.

These are surprisingly great shoes. I've always avoided Brooks Beasts because I worried that they were more shoe than I needed. I envisioned linebacker types pounding along in them. They were for the earthshakers, the guys you can hearing coming up behind you in the 5k. Turns out that's not really true. They are certainly very supportive, and no one will set a PR in them, but they aren't overly stiff or clunky. In short, they're great for training if you pronate. Especially if, like me, you need a size 16. The motion control is definitely there, but it's not too intrusive. Highly recommended.
I'd also recommend:
Saucony, New Balance

I have worn these shoes for it least 3 years now. They are the most comfortable and sturdy shoes I have ever purchased. I wouldn't wear any other kind shoe except Brooks.

Not as good as the older versions of the Beast but still a great shoe. For me it is all about arch support. The only real negative is lack of availability.

Oddly, I’ve bought this style of shoe in the blue /gray color with no problems. Switched to this black/gray and the material in the toe box seemed less flexible .
Returned for exchange and Zappos as usual provided excellent customer service . Thank you!

the quality of this shoe and comfort do not match up from previous pairs i have purchased. I have these shoes for support as i pronate from having flat arches and utilize orthotics. The fabric material is much more pliable than other material and allows my foot to pronate. Perhaps you have a more suitable model. Please advise.

These have always been my shoe of choice for dog walking. My running days are well behind me now but i remember from earlier time just how much support and cushioning these shoes provide. Many criticize my use of expensive running shoes for my walking treks with my dog, but I know what feels good on my old tiered feet and these shoes do the trick!

I'm normally a size 13 Medium shoe but couldn't squeeze into that. Tried a 13 wide and it fit width-wise; but as others have mentioned, it's on the short side. My large toe was at the very edge of the toe box. With no half sizes up (next size up was a 14) I had to pass on the shoe. Too bad because they were comfortable.

Third pair I've owned. Excellent in all respects and for all things. Even great on the golf course. Would not change a thing.

Great support. I've tried Saucony, ASIC, and NB. Beast is the best. The only problem I have with them is the wear of the collar due to abrasion. Otherwise all good.

These shoes are great matter fact I like them so much I bought one pair that lasted about a year when I went back to get another pair the local store did not have them in and they weren't available for a few months but I was able to sign up for an email that once they were available I got an email about another pair I've lost over 140 pounds walking in the shoes

I don't run! I've been wearing the Beast for the last 18 years as my general walking and in office work shoe. I spend near 60 hours on my feet in my office every week. The linear platform & pronation correction designed sole keeps me going on my feet everyday!
