I liked the insole cushioning enough that I didn’t add my custom orthotics. I don’t like the thin flat laces!

Need more color options. Also the shoe doesn't seem as sturdy as past options.

I like the shoe at lot. However, for greater stability, I wish it were stiffer like the Beast 18.

2014 Beast was the absolute best. 2020 Beast is much lighter, still very comfortable and a little less 'Beastie'.

They are great shoe. I have no heal pain. I just wish the toe box was bigger. Like the addition 14. But over all I'm very happy with these.

This is my fourth pair and love them and will continue to buy them. However, I feel that the tongue is shorter on the 20 than it was on the 18. I am 71 so it may only impact older folks, but it is more difficult to put the shoe on on because the tongue really slides down as you put your foot into the shoe and it is not that easy to pull it up once your foot is in. This requires a bit more flexibility and effort. This probably is not an issue for younger people but I noticed it.

I like the Beast 18's better. They are a bit stiffer and give me more support.
The 20's are a bit lighter at the cost of support, IMO.
I have need an EE and both shoes deliver a very comfortable fit.
The 18's are still my go-to.

YOu need to have a true medium width. Everybody doesn’t have fat feet!

These seem like decent shoes, but I ended up returning them and buying a pair of Adrenaline 21. The Beast 20 fit great in the toes and mid-foot, but the heel was too big, I've never had a shoe with a wide heel like this. It may be great if you wear orthotics but with my regular socks there was too much movement.

The shoes are nice but I had to add some padding to make them more comfortable. I still had to get over the price.

These shoes provide great support and cushioning. This is my third pair. I would recommend ordering a 1/2 size larger than you normally wear. They run (no pun intended) a bit short.

Not as cushioning as I thought they would be. Taking longer to get used to them than any pair of the Adrenalines that I have had. Not satisfied but getting used to them. Time will tell.
Fit seems right.

size feels a little large and I don't like the smaller shoe laces. All else good.

I bought the shoe on recommendation of my foot specialist to help prevent my Planter problems from re-occurring, The Beast gives me great support and the extra cushioning i was looking for I like the laces because they do not slip. The only negative is that it is one ugly shoe. Hence the name...hey?
