Brooks Beast Running Shoe
Shoe has great feel and support, but needs more support in arch. Also, I'm not sure that this shoe is built as sturdy as the brand was is some other model years. Review #2
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! Review #3
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. Review #4
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. Review #5
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!).
