Love the stability of this shoe, and the 20 is so comfortable! The Beast has been the only shoe to give me relief from my plantar fasciitis!

Nice enough shoe for heavy pronation issues but Hoka has more lateral heel stability.

I've worn the beast for a few years. I like the old model better which I still wear from time to time. It's just the overall feel that I like. I feel the 20 is too cushiony Thanks John Haggerty

Other's reviews stated the shoe fit was on target so I ordered my regular size. They were right, and I add that these are true to size, fit, and provide average arch support. I will add some heavier cushioned insoles. The insoles that come with it aren't that great.

These are terrible. As many have said they are way less supportive and cheaper made than past iterations of the beast. Seem to be geared way more towards running than walking. Truly disappointed and feeling hopeless on trying to find a new shoe that provides adequate support and comfort.

Great for my foot issues. Went to podiatrist and he specifically recommended BEAST.

Great shoe, good for wearing with orthotics.
The wide size(s) also are great.

Have not run in them yet, but that is not why i bought them. doc advised this model due to my flat feet. brooks was not kidding around when they labeled these shoes as max support, but they're not bulky. got extra wide in my true size and its a little more snug than i prefer so will try half size up on my next pair.
TL:DR - great support shoes for flat footers.

Had ankle pain whenever I walked more than a couple miles. With the Beast 20, I walk 7-8 miles everyday and just LOVE these shoes.

I am not pleased with the Beast 20 at all! I have been wearing Beasts for at least couple of years now, and was so happy with the fit and support. I had previously worn Addiction, and was pleased, but always had to use an orthotic insole. With the previous Beasts, I was able to wear straight from the box--no orthotic insole needed. The Beast 20 feels less supportive. I've thought of trying to wear with an orthotic insole, but I think I will return instead. For the price, I am simply disappointed.

Flimsy sneaker that I returned since it did not provide me the same level of support that my previous Beast sneakers have.

Look great, and feel wonderful on the bottoms of my feet. However, the outside is a little hard for my taste, hurts my big toe a little bit when walking more vigorously.

A bit heavy for my liking but very protective and stable. I was getting heel pains before I got this. Seems to have solved that problem. I do about 20-25 miles/week. Good shoes overall.

I'm not a runner. How are the issues for comfortability only. They have a stable support system for people with low arches like me my foot does not roll. I am a heel to toe foot roller and the stabilizers my foot. I have been through multiple types of tennis shoes and insoles and I have found that the Beast What's the best all around comfortable shoe for me. This is a second pair for me I had the Beast 18 out of the 20 and they are both magnificent.

Brooks are always the most comfortable running shoes for me. I have a neuroma on my left foot so a wide toe box is important. These shoes deliver. While not as stylish as Nike, they feel firm and cushy. The harsh road is isolated from the foot. Btw, I wear a EE width.

Great fit. I walk about 3 miles or more each day with my dogs -- so having a shoe that fits well and cushions are very important to me. The fit is excellent, I am so glad to find a quality shoe with a quad E width! The cushioning is also very good too.
