Podiatrist directed me to buy Beast as most supportive shoe currently on market COMFORTABLE!

This is my 2nd pair of Beast 20. Men's 9 2E. Unfortunately, returned as less wide than my current pair. Shoe top material not as giving, toe box narrower. Not a runner, first pair is the only shoe I can wear reasonably comfortably d/t bi Morton's neuroma. Had hoped to order a men's 4E, not in stock. Disappointed, as have searched high & low for painfree shoes.

My last 4 pairs of running shoes have been Ghost 13/14, but I wanted to try something a little different this time around. I?ve been more than pleased with the Beast 20, especially going in to colder weather running.

I have had trouble getting the correct shoe width all my life. I am usually limited to NB, which is fine but one does like choices. A sales person suggested I try the Brooks Beast and I felt like I was walking on a cloud. I don't run but do a lot of walking and this has turned out to be a fantastic shoe. I am no longer limited to NB! These 13EEEE feet love the Brooks Beast.

The construction is not that sturdy specially on the big toe side for me at least on right side as e I have bought ripped from that side. Therefore I bought another one and it looks like it is going to do same thing. The previous models of Beast that I bought in prior years never had this issue.

I have been wearing Brooks Beasts for 20 years. They have always been a great fit and support for my walking.

The 18 was a great shoe bought many pairs and was extremely happy with them The new 20 is poorly constructed and cheaper material reducing the support the 18 had Hopefully Brooks will learn from reviews and go back to what works to sell shoes to consumers I would love to purchase the 18 design and quality

I bought these because my old favorite, the New Balance M1540v3, wasn't available in my size. They're comfortable, but the cushioning feels to me like too much of a good thing. I can feel my foot sink in at every step, which means I'm losing energy, like walking on the beach. Also don't believe the "black ebony gray" description. The very deep sole on these is bright white and the upper is jet black. If you want to be inconspicuous this is not the shoe for you.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance

This is the 4th pair of the Beast model for me. This is the '20. Also had/have 3 pairs of '18's All have been BLACK. The style/appearance of the black 20's has taken a big hit. While the sides of the soles look cooler, the "top down" view looks clunky and totally unattractive. No visible non-black trim. Forefoot of these shoes is a big black blob! One plus: I wear EE width and these have MORE ROOM IN THE TOE BOX than the '18's.

The sneakers would’ve been good if they weren’t sent to me already worn so which means they were misfit because they were all stretched out there were no tags there was no paper in them the laces world on Schroon so now I I am not happy with Zappos at all as far as them sending me somebody else’s shoes or shoes that have been try it on and try it on and try it on there was a waste of my time is wasted their time

The fit was great. This is my second pair of these. I always try to have two identical pairs at a time just in different colors. I rotate them daily. Free shipping was fast. So far so good.

Extremely supportive. It's not anything like most people are saying. Give it a try.
Loved it.

These were my first Brooks, I got them because of a recent condition I was diagnosed with (Hallux Rigidus) and my doctor recommended some good brands with rigid shoes. This is the most I have paid for shoes but I have to say they are the most comfortable I have ever owned. The bad thing is, after only a few months the front rubber Is separating from the shoe. I can't see paying 160 for shoes that fall apart after a few months.

My husband loves these Brooks. The support is great for his larger height and size. They’re durable and last with him standing in them a good portion of the day.

Agree with many others. These are cheap and flimsy shoes and are nothing like the old beast. I'm looking for a new beast.

Long time Nike wearer but no the structure triax isn’t the same shoe it used to be. Been buying Brooks for the last few years and they are the best in the market. For extra wide feet these are the most comfortable and durable shoes your money can buy.
