I have had four pairs of Brooks Motion Control shoes (all the way back to ones with metal siding). The quality has dropped significantly. After one week the side of the shoe is already ripping. I would not recommend the shoe for long term use, but it still helps prevent pronation.

These are not running shoes for me. My podiatrist recommended them to me and so far I am using them to replace the New Balances I have worn for years. Still need a little more time to see. But so far so good.

These are my favorite running of the last six years. If the saying that women can run the world in heels then these shoes allow me to run the world. They provide me with all day comfort and support. Also fit my orthotics. They are total beasts!

I love these shoes! I am a woman who wears size 10 2E in these men's shoes. I've gone through many pairs of them over about 20 years starting when my foot doctor recommended them because of my plantar fasciitis. I wear them daily. I am not a runner but rather a walker, hiker and bicycler. They are extremely comfortable and provide support and stability for my big feet. I haven't been able to find anything like these in my size in a woman's shoe. I will continue to buy them in any color produced. Thanks, Brooks, for keeping my feet pain-free!

These were recommended to me by a competitive marathon runner. I complained about arch pain and he immediately recommended these. During my first mile, I felt as though I needed to break them in a bit. By mile two, I felt as though I had clouds in my feet. My feet were stable, did’t move (over pronation) and they provided the just right amount of arch support. Now that they have earned approximately 30 miles calculated in the first few days, I am happy to wear my Brooks Beast ‘20.

I'll begin by saying I've been a Beast guy for 20 years. This is my fifth pair. I've not been running for 10 years but I'm getting back into it. I'm a big guy at 5'11' and 290 lbs and the Beast '20 is comfortable and stable. I do interval running largely because my weight keeps me from simply jogging for a couple of miles. One minute run, two minutes walk, one minute run, etc..., is my routine. That, and they're terrific walking shoes. I just got back from a vacation where I was averaging 12,000 steps per day and my feet felt fine. The fit is excellent, but I do have to use the added lace hole on the right shoe to tighten it up a bit since my right foot is a half size smaller than my left. It works fine. I also need a larger toebox and this shoe's is plenty big. The medium width fits well. I do wonder about pronation since I'm neutral and the Beast seriously corrects for overpronation, but I haven't sensed an issue with it. So far, after around 70 miles of walking and running, I'd say its an excellent shoe.

It is such a structurally, solid, supportive shoe that, for those of us with pronation, hammertoe and bunion issues combined it works fantastic. I will be ordering a second pair, just in case you quit making them for some reason.

The Beast and Ariel are the only shoes I wear. I have significant foot & ankle problems, and these shoes provide the stability and comfort I need to be on my feet.

This latest version of the "Beast" pales in comparison to past editions of the style. I have been wearing this model for many years. These I found them to be of a lowered quality than any I've had in the past.
