Very, very disappointing shoe. I have tried 5 different models and settled upon the beast 20. I am new to Brooks and tried them after a long time Brooks fanatic suggested to do so. I overpronate and need extra cushion for my 2 mile daily walks. The description was perfect. At first the shoe was impressive but at the 10 mile mark both of my feet started ache, especially my right heel. I then tried 4 different pairs of the beast 20 with the same result, right around the 10 mile mark. One good thing I will say is that customer service is excellent.

I have really enjoyed them. I walk my 4 dogs every morning about 2 miles. These shoes replaced my old pair of Brooks. They work great for me.

This is my third pair of the Beast shoes. I used to be an very active runner and participated in a lot of running events. My age and knees cannot support running anymore but I walk daily and the comfort and support is the best I have ever experienced. I also travel the World, and one finds themselves having to climb steps or steep hills in places like Greece or Croatia, the traction is excellent. The shoes look good and feel better. I highly recommend the Beast.

My fourth pair of Beast shoes. Most comfortable shoes I've had. Really appreciate the great support for flat feet. Make all my walks/hikes super comfortable.

Fits true to size. Roomy toe box. Very comfortable. Little pricy but worth it in my opinion.

Very disappointed, shoe is too wide and apparently you don't offer anything in a 12 1/2 narrow

I bought these shoes on recommendation of my podiatrist, due to several foot issues. The fit and comfort are excellent as is, and even better after being fit with orthotics. I'm moderately active, with walking and tai chi as my main routines. However, I'm very disappointed in the sturdiness of the shoes, especially the rubber pads on the bottom. Many of them have lifted and I've had to gorilla glue them back in place. It seems like the quality assurance of the construction is subpar. It's unfortunate because my foot problems have largely cleared up and I love the comfort of these shoes. I just wish they were built better.

I've been wearing Brooks for well over a decade now. I switch randomly between the Addiction, Dyad, and Beast based on whatever is in stock in my size when the time comes for a new pair. These shoes come in widths. (YES!!) I'm an 8.5 EEE on the Brannock and the 8.5 wide fits me very well. I can't really tell any difference between the models, they're all really good. I walk around 5 miles/week in these for exercise and use them for my daily drivers. I'm on my 5th pair now.

I like the feel and comfort as my feet hits the asphalt. I still have and wear the first pair I bought years ago. Its durable and long lasting. This is why I got another pair. They are great.

Excellent shoes, but already worn out on the sides. Would be glad to use some discount, if you offered

I have had and worn out quite a few pairs of Beast from Brooks. They are great shoes.
The two pairs I bought about two weeks ago both share a minor problem.
At the tip of the toe box on the right shoe there is a sheath that extends approximately 1.5 inches from the tip of the shoe, extending backwards, over the top of the toes, just under the bottom of the lacing.
This sheath has either come away from the body of the shoe or was never glued to the body of the shoe.
When walking this sheath tends to bunch just ahead of the toes.
I plan to ask the local shoemaker to glue the sheath to the body of the shoe.

looks good and is well made and comfortable for walking and running fewer miles; but for longer runs, I need more cushion; still, a good shoe

I love the Beast and have been wearing them for decades. But this time I can't give it 5 stars because the sizing seems different. I ordered my usual size and my toes are cramped and burning after long runs. I would strongly recommend getting a fitting and trying on this year's shoe before you buy as, to me, it runs smaller than years past. I'll still be a Beast loyalist but this may be the last time I order without a fitting.
