The 2018 version has far superior support compared to the 2020 version. The support in the heel and the arch of the 2020 has noticeable diminished. I'm really disappointed. The style of the 2020 is outstanding, and Brooks has caught up to the times. This is an excellent looking shoe. I only wish the support of the 2018 was carried over to the 2020. I've worn Brooks Beast since 2006, and this is one of their more disappointing versions in terms of support.

Love my new Brooks. This is my first time buying Brooks and now am in love. Makes me wonder why I waited to buy them before now. Thank you for making a quality shoe.

Excellent improvement from the prior generation with excellent support and a very light product. It is better than I expected and I have always been satisfied with Brooks.

Fits like a glove and comfortable for walks and speed walking. My knees, hips ankles and feet have been feeling a difference in pain. My podiatrist recommended that I try these and I don't think I am ever going back to the "so called brand" names.

Fit well! I got a size 14, 4E width. This sizing combo has a standard length shoe laces that are not long enough to tie. My only (non)complaint!!

I've had them for about six months and the fabric/lining near the ankles is torn and exposing the inner material of the shoes on both shoes. Pretty disappointed considering the amount I paid for them at the time.

I switched to the Brooks Beast when my prior brand cheapened its product. I was a heavy runner with a pronation problem and needed a solid motion control shoe. Yes, they were heavy, but I loved how they controlled my gait. My feet came down flat and square. There was no way my ankles would tilt. In 2016 the motion control was reduced a little. In 2020 it was barely noticeable. The landing feels soft and spongy, but they do not provide confidence that my ankles won't roll. I don't run anymore, but still want the solid motion control of the old Brooks Beast. Please bring them back.

I prefer older versions styling (14,18). Toe box is ever so slightly more narrow than the 18. Still very comfortable & since my Achilles tear, the low heel rise doesn’t bother it like the 14 did.

I have been wearing Brooks Beast since they came out and this is the most flimsy, weak pair i have ever had, I went on line to see if there was a sturdier version but i cant fine one so...not sure what to do next. They do fit and so far are wearing well but they are not what i expected.

Where do I begin! I have been buying Brooks Beast for many years now. This latest design is the best yet. It is incredibly light where the shoe has been rather heavy before. It still provides stability to alleviate pronation. Walking and running in these feels like running on clouds! Kudos to this amazing redesign.

I've loved the Beast for at least 8 years, for walking (3-4 miles/day). The new '20 shoe is a disappointment. The sizing has changed: I've always worn a 10.5 before, with plenty of toe room, but now that size is too short. Also the laces used to be a nice stretchy round lace that was very easy to cinch up - the new laces are a lower quality flat lace that is really difficult to use. Also the shoe doesn't feel as supportive. I am really at a loss, since this was the only shoe I found that works for me. I may return it.

Slightly better ride than the past two pair of transcends they are comfortable and the only thing I noticed is the upper section where you put your foot in has a slightly thinner amount of material. I like brooks for the comfort during and after my run and just noticed this padding is less on the beast. Great show other than that!

Love my Beasts! I have worn Beasts as my primary shoes for at least 15 years. I don't have any idea how many pairs I've had, probably 2-3 pairs a year. They always fit perfectly and support my active 220 pounds in every activity.

The comfort of the brooks 20 is just as good as the 18 which I loved, and I think the 20 overall look is the best yet for the beast!
