The Beast '20 are okay but they are not as comfortable as my Elevate '18's.

I brought the Brooks Beast 20 the cup is not reinforced like the last maybe it’s hope the structure doesn’t collapse i really like brooks products especially the beast is the only athletic shoe i can wear with no issue.

Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. I'm a registered nurse and on my feet for twelve hours a day. These shoes feel like they are barely there (in a good way) save for the excellent cushion and support. I love them.

The fits ok, but the quality is terrible. I’ve bought a lot of the brooks beast and these are by far the worst ones made. The fabric and sole is cheap and can’t be cleaned. I’ll be looking for a replacement brand. I’ve probably bought somewhere around 75 of these over the years. A lot of money but they were worth it. I have 6 pair in the closet now. What happened to the quality? Why change it.

The 20 fits much better than the two previous Beasts, which were somewhat tight. Otherwise, I am so far very happy with the fit and comfort of the Beast 20. I am always amazed at just how supportive and comfortable these shoes are.

Just got back into running after a 9 year hiatus of massive weight gain and loss. Military career gave me two LH ankle surgeries, L4-L5 herniated disks, and bad knees, needed a shoe that would allow me to enjoy running again. The Beast did that! The support is fantastic, and the cushion on each stride impact was like no other I have ever tried. Brooks has made a shoe here that if I didnt know better I would think it was made just for me!
The fit is fantastic, my feet do get a little moist toward the end of 3-3.5 miles but the fit keeps my feet stable with no rubbing, so no blisters.
I enjoy running again, the Beast has helped with my worries of ankle strength and impact pain. THANKS BROOKS!

Best walking shoe I've ever owned. It's so stable that I will likely use them for weightlifting as well. It's really two shoes in one. Remarkable shoe.

I honestly expected a better support than the Beast 18 or 16. Not worth the price.

Every other shoe I've worn is nowhere near the support of the beast and hurt my feet. I have had multiple foot surgeries and these have been my only shoes since 2006. I go through about 2-3 pairs a year. My only complaint is that the color options are so boring.

Bought brooks beast for years, seems like the best one were brooks beast 18 for quality, the 20’s have a cheap feeling, Time will tell. Don’t like the new colors, but it’s ok I’m not going to stop buying them the are the best shoes, little pricey, but worth the money.

I don't run.
Walking too much can even be hard.
But, these sneakers provide enough support for the pronation of my ankle. ( An old fast pitch softball injury.... probably should have had surgery years ago)

Great feeling shoe, but nothing like previous Beasts that I have owned. Much lighter than the past. They feel like Ghosts with a bigger footbed. So far so good. I like the change.

I'm a 230 lb pronator and have been using the Beast for 10-15 years. I have tried a few others shoes, but this is the only shoe that works for me. It seems similar to the 2018, but the outer edge of the shoe has a rail that makes it a bit stiffer, and that seems to help. There are some changes to the tread patter and sole and it feels a little bit lighter, which helps in a heave show. I also like the look of this years version.

So, I've been a Beast Fan Since 2014 and have ordered them every two years. The Beast 18's were a remarkable shoe with great support. When I got the Beast 20's I was kind of disappointed, The support was not as expected. So I noticed that price incentive on the Beast 18's and I ordered another pair. I'll keep the 20's but only as a backup, not my everyday shoe.

Very comfortable. Light weight and has made power walking over 2 miles and 1-1 1/2 walks a pleasure and easier daily event.

The Beast is an excellent shoe for over pronating flat feet. It offers stability and a decent amount of cushion. I seem to only get about 6-8 months out of them, which makes them a bit pricey, but nothing yet suits my feet as well.
