With advanced motion control, the Brooks Beast running shoes deliver superb control for low- or flat-arched runners with excessive pronation.

  • Durable synthetic leather and polyester mesh uppers are lightweight and airy for quick-drying performance
  • Nylon and polyester linings absorb and disperse moisture for enhanced comfort; ISS (Internal Support Saddle) helps wrap and hold feet in place
  • Midsoles feature S-257™, a foam polymer alloy formulated to resist compression and rebound more quickly than standard EVA
  • Silicone-based HydroFlow® ST-XL system at heels and forefeet features a fluid-filled center chamber that dampens shock
  • Extended PDRB™ (Progressive Diagonal Roll Bar) triple-density medial posts minimize excessive pronation
  • Midsoles also feature MoGo, a rubber and EVA compound, for cushion and energy return
  • DRB Accel™ midfoot arch shanks control torsional flex at midfoot for better control and support
  • e-1™ rubber compound in midsoles and outsoles progressively dampens impact forces that occur during contact phase
  • MC-Pod™ design sets feet in a balanced and efficient position from heel strike to toe-off, providing maximum stability and responsiveness
  • Outsoles resist wear with their durable HPR Plus rubber compound
  • Please note: Wide width is a 4E

Average weight specification is per pair, based on size 9.

      Comments about Brooks Beast Road-Running Shoes - Men's:

      I am on my 5th pair of Brooks Beasts...so I guess it's safe to say that I like the shoes. They have great support, and have out-lasted other shoes by miles and months. They are a little bit heavy, but that is due to the very supportive sole. I'm a 215 pound, 4 day a week runner with moderate pronation issues, and these are the perfect shoe for me. If you don't exactly have a "runner's build" or if you have pronation problems, these shoes will take away the pain that comes through weaker, less supportive shoes.

      Comments about Brooks Beast Road-Running Shoes - Men's:

      These are overpriced for a horrible pair of shoes. I could not believe after one day's hike, the soles started coming apart. They were crumbling and I was sliding. One wear. No good. Do NOT buy.

      Comments about Brooks Beast Road-Running Shoes - Men's:

      the beast is perfect for runners who tends to over-pronate and runs on pavement and not on trails. i finished my training for the half and full marathon here in phoenix in two consecutive years with the same pair without any issues. i used it once in a 7-mile trail run and yes it feels a little wobbly/unstable due to its support. got other pair of running shoes, the adidas-riot that i used for trail running. it has less support compared to the beast. you don't need the extra support in the trails since the ground is unstable. the only thing i don't like w/the beast is its bulkiness, other than that i am ready to purchase a new pair for the upcoming marathon season.

      This is the best shoe I have ever had! On my 5th pair, and still have a couple previous pairs around that I have studded for winter running. Sturdy, stable, and very comfortable. They are not the lightest shoe, but I have never been able to notice the difference once on my feet and moving.
