I'm a 230 lb pronator and have been using the Beast for 10-15 years. I have tried a few others shoes, but this is the only shoe that works for me. It seems similar to the 2018, but the outer edge of the shoe has a rail that makes it a bit stiffer, and that seems to help. There are some changes to the tread patter and sole and it feels a little bit lighter, which helps in a heave show. I also like the look of this years version.

WAS VERY SURPRISE HOW LIGHT THE SHOES WERE. VERY COMFORTABLE & VERY SATISFIED. NOTICED THE DIFFERENCE COMPARE TO BEAST 18 THAT I'VE PREVIOUSLY BOUGHT. AWESOME !

The Beast is an excellent shoe for over pronating flat feet. It offers stability and a decent amount of cushion. I seem to only get about 6-8 months out of them, which makes them a bit pricey, but nothing yet suits my feet as well.

you are making a big mistake by referring to the Beast as a "WALKING SHOE"--I assume that this is an error which will be corrected. It has been historically a running shoe and a good one.

Instant relief for heel and knee discomfort. Design has changed, but it?s still the same great shoe. I?ve owned Beasts for many years, and I?ve never been dissatisfied.

I have been wearing the Brooks Beast for decades. The wide toe box, great support and good durability are all the things I really like. They are getting a bit expensive but my knees thank me. I have the ‘20 version.

By far the best shoe for my very flat feet and they allow me to get my 3-4 miles in almost every day. Super comfortable and almost want to make them my daily wear :)

The comfort of the shoe from the toe to the heel was just what I was looking for - I walk four miles a day 6 days a week and for years I have worn the Brooks running shoes, which i love, but they were not the best for the long amount of walking that I was doing everyday - I saw the Beast on a Brooks advertisement and thought that is what I need to try - They were exactly what I needed for my walks

I've been a very loyal Brooks Beast and Addictions wearer for two decades and was concerned about the Beast 20 change from a medial post to the new GuideRails. It did take a few runs to get used to the Beast 20, but I do find the new model to be much lighter with a smoother ride and enough stability. However, the shoe rides much differently and does not feel as stable compared to the previous Beast and current Addictions, so others might have a different experience! Hopefully, Brooks will continue to sell the Addictions with the extended medial posts into future years so severe overpronators will have a choice between new GuideRails technology and the tried and true posts. However, it's worth a try and Brooks has a generous return policy if you'd like to switch to the Addictions.

Great for old guys with flat feet who wear orthotics. I have purchased 7 or 8 pairs of these shoes. Would not wear any other shore.

Either my feet have spread faster than usual, or they are making shoes ,like clothing ,smaller to save money. Zappos are the best at exchanging. Great customer service I have bought the D in the past and 2 years later I am wearing 4E. I hope Brooks keeps making the 4 E. The Beast is great. Lighter than the last generation and the guys at work liked the stying too. (I am female, but have wear mens for width). ghey

I was just about to replace my old beast 18's when these were released. I made the plunge and am happy that I did so. The new guiderails seem to work really well and help provide me with the additional support that I need. I have been running Brooks for over 21 years and they have never disappointed me. These beast 20's are no exception, they feel great and have loads of cushioning. In my opinion Brooks are still the king of the mountain when it comes to running shoes.

Been wearing Beast since 2004 and this new lighter version is now my favorite. Doesn't feel clunky like the 18, is very cushy, and I like the black and white. Thanks Brooks for this modernization to the Beast.

Half size too small. This is the second new Brooks shoe I purchased and bought new shoes squeak when walking. It seems like they changed the material of the shoes?

Fit is a bit on the narrow side. It works for me but someone with a fuller medium foot size fit will probably find the medium too narrow. I like the stong support and they don't over correct too much - as I found with prior versions.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance higher quality models that have support features
