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.

I ordered the same size and width, 12 2E Beast, and it was too short and too narrow.
The previous shoe, Beast 18, 12 2E, was much more roomy and comfortable.
I will try to find a size larger in the same shoe at a store to try on.

It was great except that the toe wore through after about a month. I transitioned them to my yard work shoes since they are comfortable

Comfortable and light weight. Only issue is that each step produces a very notable squeak.

I've worn the beast for nearly fifteen years do to needed support for severe flat foot. It is the only sneaker that will properly support my feet along with orthotics.
Can't find them in stores and my wife found them. Being on my feet all day requires me to keep the sneaker on.

They're OK but I miss the support of the 2014 model. These tend to wear out quickly. Still a good shoe.

I am a walker. I walk 10K steps 6 days per week. I have worn Brooks for over 15 years. I usually get the Addiction, but wanted to try a different model. Fits great but too much flex on the top of the show regarding the fabric. I will go back to my Addiction Walker but will wear the Beast for casual.

Does not seem to have the support of the previous line of Brooks Beast.

Oddly, I’ve bought this style of shoe in the blue /gray color with no problems. Switched to this black/gray and the material in the toe box seemed less flexible .
Returned for exchange and Zappos as usual provided excellent customer service . Thank you!

I'm normally a size 13 Medium shoe but couldn't squeeze into that. Tried a 13 wide and it fit width-wise; but as others have mentioned, it's on the short side. My large toe was at the very edge of the toe box. With no half sizes up (next size up was a 14) I had to pass on the shoe. Too bad because they were comfortable.

I like the arch support and the overall comfort. The only aspect I don't like is the more difficult time to lace up the shoes. The laces snug up good, but it is more challenging together ahold of the laces to do it. I ordered size 14. (which is not on your size question below)

The 18 scored 5 stars, the 20 only worthy of 4. Overall construction and materials seem a little cheap compared to the last model.

This is the only shoe I really wear, I am NOT a runner, but I do have problem feet. This is one of the few shoes I have been able to wear. I am frustrated with the lack of availability and since I have to buy multiple pairs a year the price hurts.

looks good and is well made and comfortable for walking and running fewer miles; but for longer runs, I need more cushion; still, a good shoe

I ordered the mens 10.5 Medium due to wide, flat feet with over pronation. LOVED the Beast 14, which was my first intro to Brooks. Should have ordered a wide as these are rather narrow in toe box & midsole.

This is my 5th pair over the years. This pair are of great quality and well worth the money.
But this pair just at the end of 10 hr day my feet are beginning take the toll. But I will buy another pair in 6 to 8 months.
My primary use is that I work on concrete floors standing most of the day.

I prefer the Brooks Beast 18. The white soles on these Beast 20's are gonna stain. I wear my Beast 18's to do everything. They've lasted me for 3+years. They are awesome for flat footed people whose ankles pronate. My ankles used to throb at the end of a long day but since I've worn these shoes my ankles are doing great. Hopefully these 20's will do the same. I'm a very active person. Love Zappo's way they stand behind their product and their quick delivery!! They never disappoint!

There's not another brand that compares to Brooks Beast!!!

I have liked this shoe for years, some models being better than others. My only complaint for the Beast '20 is the material of the top toe area. It feels like some type of cardboard, and crushes easily, making the shoe look old after a very short time. This same area also seems to break down after several washes, leading to the same broken down look.
