Customer Reviews Brooks Beast '20

We purchased these based on a friend recommendation for my husbands plantar issues. They were great for a few wears and we were hopeful, but it didn't last long. We added some memory foam inserts and now he can wear them pain free for a few hours. Wish I had listened to the other review that said they aren't what they used to be. It was a big investment for "meh" results.

Very comfortable and the they feel great, but the shoe did not hold up like my other Brooks.

I was recommended this pair by a podiatrist at first they felt comfy but after a couple of days the heels of my feet hurt after a few hours of wearing.

I didn't like Beast '20 as well as Adrenaline GTS. I only wear Extra Wide (4E) shoes so my toes can spread, and I experience fewer blisters that way. I walk 6 miles/day, 7 days a week at 4 miles/hour. Even with a wide toe box and excellent cushion, I use HikeGoo or Body Glide Foot glide anti blister balm before I go out. I also am aware of keeping my shoe laces tight at the top to eliminate any front to back motion. I've been doing this routine for 6 months, and due to the low impact of walking, I don't have to take any time off because of injury. I have tried just about every brand out there, and for me, Brooks work best.

Probably a good shoe if it fits right, but the back heel support pushes the foot forward making the shoe fit smaller. Nice quality, bad fit. Other than that it's a nice shoe. Looks fantastic.

I use custom orthotics and usually purchase the Adrenalins, but the past 2 pair just wore out in 4 months so I switched to the Beast The Beast is is not as comfortable as the Adrenalins, but, I think I finally have them broken in. Time will Tell!

I felt that after walking in the Beast, that it was too firm of a feel to me and not as cushioned as I would have liked.

Toe box is too small for me and not quite as cushioned as I would like

This was my first order with these guys I love the shoes extremely comfortable but the materials are terrible I've barely had these a month and they are tearing apart on the floor inside and I don't run these are just daily walking for the price I thought the materials would hold up to basic walking

Because I'm a Clydesdale (190 lbs) I thought the Beast would be beneficial. Although it does have guide rails which add to stability it is sorely lacking in cushion. Felt like I was running on plyboard cutouts on my 3 mile test run. Chose to run the Napa Marathon in my GLS 22s, which had 500 training miles on them but still have ample cushion. The Beast also drove my big toes into the side of the toebox. I returned them.

it's rated as high cushion but that is not true. it's flat and feels somewhat like running on cardboard

Just not a good personal overall fit and feel. Not as comfortable/supportive as the Adrenalin. Will definitely go with a different model.

Good looking shoe but it looks like the toe box is now smaller and pinching. A bit disappointed to be honest - have been using Beasts for the past 10 yrs or so and now they don't really fit. I tossed the box so I guess I'm stuck with them.

The price keeps going up and the quality has gone down. The tow box collapses and rubs on the toes. The heel box wears out early.

I've worn my for a month now and visible creases formed in toe and side areas that do not relax and go away. Store fit my size but thinking they went half size too big against my better judgment.

I wear a 10.5-11 depending on brand. With the Beast 20 in size 11, I was getting pain from the pressure on the back of my heel and blisters between my toes because they were so tight. I didn't realize how undersized these were until it was too late for a return. I purchased another pair in size 12 and they fir great, but the sizing is very small in these.

Got them couple weeks ago and as of now they are great

Not as good as older models ! Use for jogging ,walking and other.

They are good. Just a little heavy.
