The Beast never disappoints! I have worn the Beast for many years now and even when the style is updated, the shoes remain comfortable.
I'd also recommend:
None!

Be specific about your likes and dislikes. How was the fit and size? What does the material feel like? How awesome (or not) do you feel wearing them?

Beast 20 so much lighter than previous model. I tried to switch to other brands but I can't find any running shoes for big boys better. Shoes run a little small just size up, I love these shoes , great job Brooks!

I'm not a runner, but I've bought Beast shoes for the last few years. I have an old knee injury and need the support, and no other shoe does the same job.

Felt very good at first, I have plantar fasciitis and they have great support without my custom orthotics however over time they gave me shin splints and sore knees. They seem to be over padded and I am not a runner, might be good for some but they hurt my knees.

Been wearing Brooks for 20 years. Beast delivered a comfy blow and stabilization! A step up from Glycerin with more toe cushion which makes it a Cadillac for running or walking.

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.

I went through 2 pair of the 18's and loved them! I wore them for everyday shoes since I have suffer from tendonitis in my ankle, I use the Portalus foot beds for extra arch support since my feet are a disaster. I originally passed on the 20's since I didn't like the look of the super white lower half on the black shoes. Well I tried a different shoe company and regretted it almost immediately. I broke down and bought the black 20's and am beyond happy with them, again with the Protalus foot beds. The Beast with those foot beds keep my feet and ankles happy, I just ignore the white sidewalls.

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!

I like the support by they run very small. I typically wear a size 11 and needed to go up to a 12.5 2E to get the right fit.

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 bought the shoe on recommendation of my foot specialist to help prevent my Planter problems from re-occurring, The Beast gives me great support and the extra cushioning i was looking for I like the laces because they do not slip. The only negative is that it is one ugly shoe. Hence the name...hey?
