Great shoe for big over-pronators
I love this shoe becuase its wide and very supportive. I ran with the orignal Beast which was good but heavy and over the years the've take some of the bulk out and it feels as light as any other shoe. Unbelievable price too!

Brooks Men's Beast Running Shoe,Silver/Trnish/Wht/Rd,11.5 M
For the last several years I have been purchasing the New Balance 2000 and 2001 running shoe. I do not do really any running at all, but the comfort of those shoes really help with my ankle problems. I decided to try the Brooks Beast to get away from the high price of the New Balance 2001. I have defiantly got my money's worth in the comfort of the brooks shoe.

Best Running shoe Ever.
I went through every brand of running shoes . I am tall and have a large frame and I tend to go through running shoes rather quickly. When I discovered Brooks about 4 years ago it was Heaven sent. Yes these shoes are expensive compared to others but you get your moneys' worth and hey spend money are your feet! We abuse them everyday. They suppport my whole foot and I have not lost any toenails as with others. I now run for fitness and not races. These shoes last me about 6 months. So if you are in searching mode I HIGHLY recommend these shoes.

Excellent shoes for the larger runner
I used to run marathons, but had a long, long lay-off. So, before I returned to running I searched the web for advice on shoes for larger runners. The Brook's Beast was generally cited as being the benchmark shoe. After wearing them for a nightly run I have to say I've come to the conclusion these are the best shoes I could have bought. They are the perfect combination of support and cushioning for a 200lb+ runner. Some people had complained the shoes are rather heavy - sure they are not shoes for racing in, but, given they are designed for larger guys the weight of the shoe is irrelevant.

All in all. IF you have problems with pronation, or you are on the heavy side, these are the shoes to try (or buy!).

Best shoes ever
I'm not one for hyperbole, so when I say "best shoes ever" I really mean it. Definitely the best shoe purchase I ever made. These are by far the most expensive shoes of any kind I have ever bought, and they were totally worth every penny. In fact I bought a second pair of this same model because the first one was so good. Normally I'd get five pairs of running shoes for the price of these two. (I'd love to get these at a deep discount, but just haven't found them anywhere.)

They take a lot of wear and tear. I have run and walked well over 1,000 miles in these shoes and they are still practically like new, just a little worn in the center of the front sole. Which is doubly amazing considering that I weigh over 250 pounds. Usually I blow out a pair of shoes after just 300 or 400 miles.

Aside from being slightly warm they are amazingly comfortable. I can wear them all day at work, or for a fifteen-mile walk, and not have any discomfort. The fit has been perfect, and usually that's a problem area for me. These are snug without binding, and have all the right support in the right places. No appreciable wear has occurred on the interior lining of the shoe.

Brooks has been a very good brand for me, and these are far and away the best of their line that I have tried. Compared the best stuff from New Balance, Asics, Saucony, Mizuno and other good brands that I have used, The Beast is on a completely different level.
