Customer Reviews Brooks Beast '20

Love the Beast shoes! Wearing them for years. The last few designs have been disappointing as the toe wears out quickly.

I like the fit and support

There has been a big shift in the upper shoe cover...it easily wears away and looks like one has been walking on the tops of the shoes. Much different than the Beast 18. Both offer excellent support.

The one I just bought Recently are good but not as good from the year before. Liked them better for the support!

Great, comfortable fitting sneaker. Thank God Brooks makes 4E widths. I had an older pair of Beasts that I liked better but they no longer make. They had more nylon and rubber stitchings around the top of the snealer and toe. These not only looked better (I think these '20's are kind of ugly, frankly) but it helped keep water out. Now the toe is all just bare mesh material (I assume to recude weight) but every drop of water shows and quickly soaks through. That's a pain for non-serious runners like myself. Also the heel comes up lower than it used to and doesn't "cradle" my foot quite as well, and again, it looks worse, kind of like an "old man's" sneaker. But the comfort is all there and that's really what counts I guess.

They're comfortable, which is what I'm expecting from them. 4 stars, because it seems every time I return to purchase a new pair, the old style/name is no longer available. Otherwise, they've been great shoes for decades.

2nd pair of Beasts, both size 14. Nice but heavy. Had a pair of Ghost previously I preferred. Wanted to buy a pair of Adrenaline GTS, but 13 too small and 14 too big don't make a 13.5. Sizing a product availability both disappointing. Previously wore ASICS Kayano (multiple pairs) before they had sizing and availability issues. Not sure where to go now for a structured comfortable shoe.

My size was in stock and came promptly by mail - free shipping. The only reason for 4 stars is that they charged sales tax. I wouldn't have to pay this if I bought it a store in MA, as footwear is not taxed. BEWARE if SCAM sites that look really authentic and offer Brooks shoes at a much lower price!

I preferred the 18 over the 20 I like the shoe but would prefer a little more cushioning

It's a great shoe. I just wish there were more color options.

I have flat feet and been using the beast for several years but I feel that the pair I purchased doesn't feel the same.. it feels like it has less cushioning feel from the bottom rubber material, not sure if it is less thick or something. Did you change the manufacturing process or substitute some of the materials? It is especially noticeable in the heal area.

A Little hard haven't break into them yet but so far so good.

Love the shoe, hate that the inventory is low or non-existent. Any chance we get more choices of sizes and possibly more updated styles/colors. We are talking '20 and we are 2022. If by chance you can find your size better buy a few pairs because it seems they are in stock for only a short time. Great "big" guy shoe with good support and cushion.

I love the Beast but Brooks never seems to have the 2E top box when I am ready to order. If you could produce more colors it would be great.
