I swear by the Beast. I've ran in it for many years. Challenges took me out for a few years but I'm from 257lbs to 205 in 4 months. This new Beast reminds me why I love this shoe. Perfect for me.

I'm in the military and run regularly. I have normally shaped feet, but the worst overpronation anyone has ever seen. Most motion control shoes help some (like the Adrenaline line), but the Beast has been the *only* running shoe to completely alleviate shin and foot pain and overstress when running. After noticing there were no search engine for a Beast 21 yet in March 2021, I bought two pairs of Beast 20 in case the line is being discontinued! Please keep making this shoe. I'll buy it until I can't run anymore. And, ironically, if you stop making this shoe then I might not be able to run anymore.

The width is perfect for my feet. I'm heavy runner 109kg, but the shoe gives my good stability and lift. No problems with long runs 12k, when your feet swell. Great shoe. My next pair will be these as wel. I'm hitting 800km with this pair this week.

I know a lot of people who are used to the older version have a problem with the new design but I have found them to be more comfortable and durable. I have been a Beast owner since the beginning and as with almost all things change elicits opinions. I have mine, 5stars!

Awesome shoes after a solid 30 miles of break in. A little tight across the top of my foot until it loosened up a little and man, what a shoe. Highly recommended for anyone that needs the extra support. Got about 45 miles in them so far and the more I wear them, the more I like them.

I am 6'2" tall, weigh 200 pounds, 66 years old, have a bad ankle and arthritis in my right foot. This shoe has been terrific! It offers more support than any other shoe I've ever worn. I am on the way to buy my second pair today and may buy a bunch more! The support and comfort are just outstanding.

I honestly use them for a casual everyday use, mainly for walking purposes. They are probably the most supportive functional shoe. Usually with running shoes I tend to roll onto the outside of my foot but, these literally prevent that 100%.

As a person with flat feet the sneakers have made a world of difference. Not just running but wearing them when I can. It helps with my ankles and knees.

This is my second pair of the Beast. I am a bigger guy that averages ten miles a week. Great support and overall comfort. I have used them in all types of weather and terrain in the northeast, and they hold up really well. For me it takes about two weeks to break them in.

I buy new beast shoes every year not because they completely wear out every year, but because I like the feel of a new shoe and the shoes are so comfortable that it is worth the money to wear them. I am not a runner but I do a lot of walking and these shoes really absorb the shock of the streets that I walk on. I have one knee replacement and the other knee is bone on bone but when I strap on my beasts my knees don't hurt while I am walking or when I finish. I can't wait for the 2022 beasts to arrive. You can't beat a beast for comfort.

As I approach 81 my running days have,unfortunately, become a pleasant memory. However, weather permitting, I still enjoy an extended walk on a regular basis. That activity is only possible, however, with the proper footwear. While the Beast 20 would not be the choice to complete a fast 5K, it is incomparable for a sluggish couple of miles. The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. The only downside is that it is limited to two colors.

Our 14 year old son who pronates likes the support & comfort. The perfect shoe for him!

Although you pretty much have to use lock laces to wear these so they don't slip up and down, I'm giving these 5 stars. I don't know if I'll ever buy another pair of shoes for as long as I live. I wish I could afford a lifetime supply. I work at Amazon and I walk about 30 miles every single night, and I've tried everything from Adidas to Timberland to Hoka One One and everything in between to get my feet to stop hurting, getting blisters, and just feeling like they're legitimately broken by the end of the night. I decided to actually swap a pair of Hokas for the Brooks Beast 20 and boy am I glad I did. It's not that my feet hurt less; it's that my feet don't hurt at all anymore. I need almost no recovery time after walking THIRTY MILES. I mean I almost cried as a grown man my first night wearing them because I still had blisters from the Hokas and I was worried new shoes would hurt them even more but I literally didn't even feel the blisters. I don't even know why other shoes exist. Just throw them all away because I've tried them all. Buy these. I've put probably 500 miles on mine so far and they feel just as good as when I first got them. Amazon even buys me shoes and I opted to use my own money for these and I'm a dad that can't really spare much money. They are that good.
