Fabric on rim of shoe separated after only 3 runs of 2.5 miles each. Prior versions of shoe much more durable.

The 20 is redesigned ( i was told for stability) but is appears to be cheaper..... earlier models seem to support me better than the 20. I purchased the beast years back because it was the only shoe that
would support my flat feet. It had provided a solid platform for my feet to help prevent ankle roll over.

don't like it. this is my 4-5th pair of Beasts and the first one that doesn't live up to the name or provide the support I came here for. why do you have to mess with something that works? you're jerking around with a loyal customer base for what? to pick up a few stragglers who don't really know what they want? fix what you broke and give us back the shoe that deserves to be called the Beast. sell this lot to a local rowing team.

Second pair of Beast shoes I've bought. I wore 18 previously and they are amazing. They meet my needs for double-wide sizing and provide great support. I love the look. I kept waiting and waiting for 20's to be released and grabbed them directly from this site as I couldn't get them from any local retailer fast enough. Brooks are amazing and this is truly my go to shoe
And no - I'm not a paid endorser! I'm an overweight husband and father of 3 boys who wants to get in shape.

Super comfortable, and with great support. I'm a walker, not a runner, and this is as good a shoe as I've worn

Very comfortable, soft insert. I use an orthotic insert for plantar fasciitis. The shoe is whisper quiet without the insert but squeaks loudly with the insert installed. I cut away the rear portion of the insert and added some foot powder to achieve 90% noise reduction. This also allows the heel to rest ~8mm deeper into the shoe for good ankle support.

Way too bulky for people with certain needs, like me. Not particularly attractive, either. May be OK for people whose gait doesn't need much improvement.

I purchased this type of shoe for support. The support is not as supportive as in the previous shoes I have purchase by Brooks. I have been wearing Brooks running shoes for the past 20 years. This is the first pair of Brooks running shoe that I have that is starting to show wear within three months. My shoes normally last for 9 to 12 months. I usually work out 3 to 4 days a week and only wear my Brooks shoes when working out.

Unlike my other Brooks Beast, the New 20 are quite wider than all I've had from Beast 14 (which I still wear around the house) to the (3) pr of Beast 16 and (2) pr of Beast 18. I'm exchanging my (2) New pr of Beast 20 4E for 2E.

I've purchased multiple pairs of the Beast over the years from Zappos: same size and width every time with never a problem. This new 2020 model is definitely more narrow and is no longer comfortable so I must return. I am sorry to leave this brand.

This is the first time I have worn any other shoe then NB. I love the Brooks Beast. The cushioning is fantastic. I am a big man, and the comfort and support I get from the Beast makes this shoe the best I have ever worn. I ordered size 11, with 2E width. The fit, for me, was perfect. There really was no break-in time for these shoes. They were comfortable right out of the box. I suppose the only complaint I would have is that there are only two color choices. However, fit is more important to me than color. I will order Brooks athletic shoes again!
I'd also recommend:

I haven't actually worn them yet. I have a relatively new pair of Adrenaline 19's that I love. Comfort, durability and support!!

I have been getting a pair annually for at least a decade. I get them for the unrivaled support and this year's version is definitely the best yet. If you need lateral support, there's really nothing like a Brooks Beast.

I don't run but work as an RN and on my feet for 12 hour shifts. These are the most comfortable I have found. I require a 4E width so I have to buy mens and they fit perfect.

This is my first pair of running/ walking shoes from Brooks. Not very pleased overall. My comfort expectation was higher and while these were the most expensive running shoes I have ever purchased they unfortunately are not the most comfortable. They are heavy and very clunky

I?ve had multiple surgeries on my foot and ?The Beast? is the only shoe I?ve found that is comfortable and has support too. This is my third pair.
