Brooks Men's Beast '20 Running Shoe

Product Information

DPT/Footwear Science: B (Somewhat updated thoughts on motion control but still heavy. Could benefit from additional and newer methods to at least reduce weight ) Personal:C- ( I appreciate what Brooks is trying to do, but I cannot handle running much in this shoe as it has far too aggressive stability for me. Walking is fine. This is not an appropriate shoe for me for running as my stability needs are not that high)

As your foot strikes the ground, the segments work together to customize your individual lay down to provide the right amount of cushion and seamless heel-to-toe transition for you – making the most of all that effort you put into each stride. Guide Rails For a responsive and cushioned ride, the Addiction GTS 15 features BioMoGo DNA. This cushioning reduces the impact of foot strikes, as well as supporting the arch of the foot. A: 13.3 oz for men and 11.7 oz for women, slightly lighter than the Brooks Beast 20, which weighs about 13.6 oz for men and 12 oz for women.

Buts it’s the new guide-rails, popular on so many other new Brooks shoes, that fail as a replacement for the more grounded and stable sole support system of earlier Beasts, including the 18. The 20 and it’s guide rails Just doesn’t provide anything close to the stability and sure-footedness as its 18 predecessor for my large 6’2” frame. Inserted into the midsole is a Brooks DRB Accel reinforced plastic shank. This piece prevents twisting and provides torsional rigidity without compromising the forefoot and heel, allowing them to act independently. A wide and plush tongue and collar help to give the shoe a snug fit without creating pressure points on your foot. Thank you for your comment. I am happy to hear that you started walking and thinking to do 10k, brilliant! You are right there are so many trainers on the market so it could be confusing. For me it is difficult to advise you on the running shoes without seeing your feet and your running gait. In our stores we offer Natural Gait Analysis to advise on the right type of trainers for you. We have a very wide selection of running shoes as we believe that it is always the best for our customers to try the shoes on and compare them to see which type of shape, support and cushioning is the most comfortable to you. If you can't come to our stores we can offer you our Online Gait Analysis.

Cushion shoes, as the name implies, are designed to create a soft, pillowy feel underfoot. The Glycerin 20 is the flagship shoe in this category and Brooks’ most cushioned trainer. If you like plush, maximalist shoes that provide plenty of padding for your feet, this is where to start. Amphipod Hydraform Handheld Water Bottle: Perfect for long runs when you need hydration in the summer Thank you for this information. I have worn Saucony Omni's for years because they were recommended after a computerized running test. They completely changed how I run-- but they wear out super, almost explosively fast. Among the heel-roll correction models you mentioned (Brooks Vapor, New Balance 860, Saucony Omni, Mizuno Inspire, Brooks GTS) what brand would you recommend for durability? Thanks!This is really disappointing as the shoes significantly reduce my ankle pain, but sadly where they dig in renders them useless. Is it possible the the size of shoe is to blame? Am I wearing too narrow or too wide (I am not sure whether the part that digs in is meant to be under my foot or on the side of my foot) or possibly need a bigger size? Or is it the case that this sort of shoe is no good for me? I would appreciate your advice about my current shoes, and any recommendations of others I might try. Whilst relatively fit in myself, this foot issue is rendering me almost housebound. We live at least a 3 hour journey from your Edniburgh store but hope to visit before Christmas. Before then, please could you give me any advice?

Best scenario would be to come into one of our branches and try on a few different options to see what feels most comfortable and we can watch you jog and see which supports you best. Shoes like the Beastand the Foundationare true motion control shoes –they're much more solid and supportive on the inside to stop the arch collapsing inwards. If you've had the problem of the ankle turning outwards, however, then you might find that too much support on the inside is a hindrance rather than a help.

In your case I'd go for the shoes at the stronger end of the spectrum of anti pronation shoes, sometimes called motion control shoes. These have stronger support on the inside so that should help keep the left foot straight. They've also got good cushioning for your road running. Like the Ghost, it has a high drop, which may feel a bit clunky to runners used to lower-drop shoes. Even so, the plush heel cushioning softens impacts, and the thinner forefoot has good flexibility for snappy toe-offs. The air mesh upper breathes well and features lots of padding around the collar for comfy fit, and the high-coverage rubber outsole is grippy and tough enough to withstand high-mileage training routines.

Thank you for you comment. Please see above my reply to Mark. He asked me exactlly the same question ;-)Mizuno Wave Inspire 19 - The redesign for the guidance-based stability trainer is an early 2023 favorite
