Customer Reviews Brooks Beast '20

Use case: Walker, 185 pounds, arthritic knees w/ no ACLs, medium arches, mild supination PRO Stable. I tend to tweak my (very very bad) knees when walking, and my ankle tend to roll to the outside. After ~20 miles, has yet to happen in these shoes, and they instill confidence like no others I own, including the ECCO Fusions I've been wearing for years. Comfortable. The footbed and upper are absolutely first rate. My heal is in a sports car bucket seat, while my forefoot is in a limo. I tried a pair of Adrenaline 20's, and they didn't compare -- like going from a Lexus to a Toyota. Style. Simple, sleek, sporty yet conservative. Could use a couple more colorway choices, but gray and black have it covered pretty well. If I have a word printed on the outside of my shoes, it might as well be "Beast." CON Cushion. Not a very plush shoe. Probably a trade-off for maximum stability, so I can't fault it as a design decision. I prefer the midsole of the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 22, but I don't feel the same confidence walking far from home in the ASICS. Flexibility. The forefoot is less flexible than many of my non-athletic shoes. I suspect his is another max-stability tradeoff.

Worn the Beast for 15 years and this model is the best yet; very stable and nicely toned down graphics.

Love these shoes! This is my 3rd pair and the 20s are the best yet! As a big guy, I appreciate the comfort and support that I get from my Beasts. My walks have lengthened and my foot pain has diminished!

Very comfortable and they run slighty shorter than my typical walking shoes.

While I find the overall support of the shoe great, I'm not really a fan of the mesh material on the top front of the shoe, it feels flimsy. Not quite as "Beast-y" as older versions.

Bought the 4E runs narrow don?t fit my feet luckily my dad is the same shoe size and he loves them says they?re very comfortable

Outstanding! These are the most comfortable walking/running shoes that I have ever put on my feet.

I am not a runner. I am a 80 year old walker. I have found these shoes to be very comfortabe and a good fit. I have to wear inserts and these only the shoes I have found that fit good with inserts.

Great shoe for walking. Very pleased.

almost too light . . . not enough support over the top of the foot--.

Beast 20 has less room inside than Beast 18. Having problem getting my orthotics into Beast 20!

Excellent shoe nice and light had a lot of cushion for the road . Perfect

Love this shoe, great for long distance walks

The ball of my feet gets sore during the day it needs more padding under the front of my feet.

Great Shoe, I wear my everyday to work.

I think the Beast DNA was a better shoe, more stable, the top material felt better to me, I liked the blue color better than black and I think the DNA was a bigger shoe all around and I liked that too.

Does not stand the weight of a heavier runner. The midsole (heel, inner) is easily compressed after hardly 120 km resulting in shin and knee issues.

Awful shoe with no support. I over pronate and need the support. Lots of cushion but felt like I was walking on bare feet. 2018 was far superior. I do not like the changes.

Well constructed from high quality materials creating a comfortable yet supportive product.

Not a runner. 2 Knee replacements. Spin class& Elliptical man. Most comfortable shoes All Time?
