Customer Reviews Brooks Beast '20

They run smaller in size, requires half to full size larger

Quality is excellent. Shoe seems to run small (short). Wore them around home on carpet, seemed ok. Wore them today first time outside. Toes hurt when walking up or down grades, I do not run. Bought them for an upcoming trip to Vegas where we do a lot of walking. Not sure what to do with them now as we leave Dec. 11th. My normal size on almost all shoes is 11.5, wide. Width seems good , length does not.

I've been happy with the durability for many years now with one older and a few recent nit picks. The mesh on the toe box area wears a bit to easily, I generally get a hole fairly quickly and yes I do keep the nails trimmed. The newer laces are too short, I use a heel lock and can barely make it with length provided. The shoes have started squeaking after the first 200 miles or so. Older models did not do this. Otherwise fairly happy.

Great fit in a great shoe. Would definitely recommend.

Fit well. Need to ditch the flat laces and go back to normal shoelaces.

Not as supportive as my first Beast of 10 years ago. I only buy Beast, but I feel that each pair is, yes, getting lighter but less supportive. I do not like the flimsy material around the back of the shoe it always folds down as I place my foot in the shoe.

I have found the shoe tends to rise while in motion and affects balance.How can I overcome

I have been running in the Brooks Beast since it first came out in the early 90's. Long past time for Brooks to update the colors, seems like they haven't changed in years.

Good support, cushion is pretty good. Shoe looks good, I wish it had a neutral heal

I like them but they run small

Great shoe, for walking long distance and good support

Lighter than previous Beasts. Seems quality has gone down; however, miles will tell.

I have had previous versions of the Brooks Beast, and this version is pretty good. I do prefer the older style with more substantial front toe box material and protection. The full mesh material top and toe box is my least favorite part of the design of this newer version I also feel the product cost for a new pair of Brooks Beast Shoes is greatly too high also. I do find the function and stability to be great, other than the two negative points aforementioned. I use it for fitnness/cardio walking outdoors

Somewhat disappointed not up to previous Brooks, the back of the shoe sinks down when put on and does not come back up easily.

good support . Beast 19 felt a bit better but this one works fine too.

Have worn 'The Beast' ever since it was recommended by my podiatrist. Very comfortable and reliable. Squeeked upon insertion of orthotic but quieted after addition of baby powder. My running/walking shoe of choice now and in the future.

I like the additional support but I find that they run small and the toe box is narrow. I normally use adrenaline or ghost 12.5 but I had to get 13 in the beast

Too expensive. Too expensive

Not a runner, but had another pair of Brooks with Guide Rails and really liked them. These are good too, Lots of support. I'm a New Balance 990 customer but these are much lighter. I also chose these over Hoka. Would like them in all black but can't find them.

I have inherited flat feet, wide in the toe box and narrow in the heel, with the left foot worse because of a bunion. Podiatric orthotics cast through my podiatrist worked fine. I was told try a lighter support by an MD and recommended the Addiction GTS 15. Brooks agreed and I did. Unfortunately, the GTS15 has a smaller toe box and it was a no-go. I went back to the Beast 20 and my feet have been happy ever since.

Love my Brooks sneakers....

Much lighter than other Brooks running shoes I have owned. Remind me of Altra running shoes. Not a bad thing but they didn't seem to last as long as my previous Brooks. I like the feel of the shoe and I have actually reduced my run time on a marked course that I run on. Jury is out on how long they will last. At this point I would probably buy them again.

Should have ordered the wide. So these are a little tight. But great style and in general very comfortable.
