Customer Reviews Brooks Beast '20

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.

I will be wearing them once the weather turns from cold and rainy for my walking exercise. Can't run any longer with 2 fake knees. I have worn them around the house for indoor walking and found the heel strike to quite a bit harder on my hardwood floors than my Ghost 15s. Maybe it will soften up once I hit the trails and pavement and put a few miles on them. Otherwise, the fit is great and the shoe is very supportive and comfortable. I use a custom orthotic insert for arch support and they fit in very well.

Great stability for urban walking. My left foot tends to lean into ankle and this shoe has significant support to counter this. Compared to other shoes I use, this is one of the best.

For the past 5 years I have been wearing the Adrensline GTS 20 sneakers, and I love them, best shoe I have ever worn, however, they were not available so I purchased the Beast 20, which I thought would be similar, but the Beast soles are much harder and I can feel them, also they are noisy, and the backs of the sneakers are cumbersome and collapse easily, you need a shoe horn to slide into them. I won't buy another pair of the Beast, and I hope the Adrenaline GTS 20 design comes back and is available in the future.

Very cushioned, it's like walking on marshmallows absolutely wonderful, feet stopped hurting! The Beast isn't quite as good as the Ghost, but pretty darn close and cheaper! I'll only wear/buy brooks anymore!

Great shoe. I have been wearing the grand and model for years.

Wanted to use on my road bike but size too big as toe hit wheel when turning. Ordered half size bigger to lessen hammer toe pain.

This show is a good replacement to the Ghost 13. Better built!

I have wide feet, so I ordered a pair of 8 1/2 Wide. Unfortunately, they weren't wide enough.

I buy this shoe for my son who pronates on both feet. This tennis shoe helps support him very well. I snagged them on sale which made it better. True to size.

Sadly, I took off a star (and was tempted to take off more) because the mesh is breaking near my bunion after not much use. This seems to be a pattern with Brooks shoes that I've owned, even though the toe box has extra space in it (9.5EE). These have sat in my travel bag most of the time since I bought them a year ago. I've really worn them only for walks about an hour a day and then only during the past few months. I like that the material is stretchy, but I wish it were stronger, especially for the price. I kept 4 stars because I appreciate that Brooks makes shoes with a wide enough toe box for me that have good support. I size up a full size because they run small and I like having a little room for my toes.

This is my second pair of Beast '20 and my 11th pair of Beasts since my surgeries. I started to read about changes that were made to the best shoe on the planet and the changes I have felt. The shoe seems a bit shorter and has not lasted as long as the past Beasts. Maybe I should send these back and try the '23?

The Beast are the shoe for me. I have owned at lease five pair, they are the ones I depend on for my 10 mile yearly walk.

Worth the money. Great for a heavy man with foot pain.
