Will there be a 2023 beast?

Hi Theresa! Yes - we anticipate releasing the updated version of the Beast in Fall 2023.

Do the beast come in wide sizes?

Hi Thomas! The Beast '20 is available in 3 sizes, medium, wide and extra-wide!

If my foot is hanging over the side of the shoe should I get a wider size?

Hi David. Yes, if your foot is hanging over the side of the shoe then we recommend sizing up to an extra-wide shoe. The extra-wide width should provide enough extra room to support your foot comfortably and safely. We always recommend visiting a local run specialty shop, if you are able, to have your foot properly sized and fitted.

Are there shipping fees?

Hi Alba! We offer free standard shipping on all orders and free express shipping on all orders over $100. You can check out more on our shipping here: https://www.brooksrunning.com/en_us/shipping/.

Is there a Beast 2022?

Hi Steven! The Beast '20 is the current model of the Beast. We anticipate releasing the Beast 23 in early fall 2023.

Does it have a wide toe box?

Hi! The Beast '20 does feature a wider toe box and high volume that is great for people with slightly wider or taller feet as well as people who wear orthotics.

What are the differences between the ghost 14 and the beast 20?

Hi Paul! The Beast '20 is a Max Support Max Cushion model, while the Ghost 14 is a Neutral Moderate Cushion model. The Beast '20 features our GuideRails® technology which adds support by keeping excess movement in check. This is recommended for people who overpronate - their feet and/or ankles roll inward as they run or walk. The Beast '20 is also great at accommodating orthotics or inserts. The Ghost 14 does not have our GuideRails® technology, so it is better for people with a neutral or supinated gait.

Do these also come in womens sizes? My very flat feet over pronate But find mens shoes too wide

Hi Annie! The women's equivalent of the Beast '20 is the Ariel '20. Take a look at the Ariel '20 here: https://www.brooksrunning.com/en_us/ariel-20-womens-road-running-shoe/120315.html

When will the new version of the beast be released?

Hi Craig! The Beast '23 is currently anticipated to release in early Fall 2023. Please note all release dates are subject to change.

When is the Beast ‘22 due to be released?

Hi Joe! We anticipate releasing the Beast '23 in early fall 2023.

Are these good for flat feet?

The footbed and insoles of all of our shoes have the same arch height and arch support. Our shoe styles in our inventory are split into 2 sections, Neutral and Support. The support in running shoes is different than the support of insoles or orthotics. Our Support styles include our GuideRails technology, which supports your whole body in its natural stride while keeping excess movement in check. Insoles or orthotics give you support directly under the arch. Our sock-liners are removable so that you can input your own insole or orthotic to achieve personalized arch support.

What is the interior depth of the mens beast running shoe?

Hi Heather! The exact measurement of the interior depth of the Beast '20 can be difficult to measure due to differences between sizes and widths. However, the Beast '20 is one of our models with the best volume and depth, as it is built on a linear last. It tends to accommodate high-volume feet and orthotics or inserts very well.

Can the beast shoe be washed in a washing machine?

Hi Betty! We strongly recommend avoiding washing machines and dryers in caring for our shoes, including the Beast '20. We recommend checking out our article, "True grime: how to clean running shoes" for cleaning tips here: https://www.brooksrunning.com/en_us/blog/gear-maintenance/how-to-clean-running-shoes.html

I have a Beast model in grey. What can I use to clean the grey ?

Hi Richard! For the Beast '20 we recommend removing the internal liner and hand washing the shoes in warm water with mild soap. Make sure not to submerge or soak the shoes in water. We do not recommend using a washer or dryer machine for cleaning our shoes, as they can be too aggressive and cause the shoes to stretch or warp compromising the materials and performance of the shoe. After done washing stuff your shoes with newsprint (plain if you have it) and allow them to air dry.

CAN YOU REMOVE THE INTERSOLE SO YOU CAN INSERT ARCH SUPPORTS?

Hi John! The sockliner in the Beast '20 is removeable to insert your own arch supports.

Is the Beast your shoe with best support and softesr?

Hi Sue! The Beast "20 and the Ariel '20 are our highest support styles, they may be the best for you, but this is not true for everyone as the level of support depends on which style is best aligned with your stride. If you're not sure if the Beast '20 is a good option for you, we recommend going to your local shop and having your gait and foot analyzed by a Fit Expert. To find a shop near you, check out our Store Locator tool on the top left of our website.

How can I clean my Brooks’s Beast Running Shoes?

Hi Tony! To clean our styles like the Beast '20, we recommend removing the internal liner and hand washing the shoes in warm water with mild soap. Make sure not to submerge or soak the shoes in water. We do not recommend using a washer or dryer machine for cleaning our shoes, as they can be too aggressive and cause the shoes to stretch or warp compromising the materials and performance of the shoe.

Difference between Support and Max Support? Looking for running shoe with good arch support.

Hi Gary! Both support and max support have the same GuideRail technology to help stabilize your run, but max support shoes have a firmer, denser foam for added stability.

I’m looking for my 3rd. Set of Brooks Beast. Are they still the ones to buy for a walker with flat feet?

Hi Scott! If the Beast style has worked great in the past, we recommend the Beast '20 as they have the same cushion and support levels as the previous iterations.

Have you all stopped making the men’s beast shoe ?Can’t find it anywhere. Thanks

Hi Edward! We have not discontinued the Beast line. At this time, unfortunately, with the current industry-wide supply chain issues, this is affecting our inventory levels for the Beast '20. We recommend checking with your local shop using our Store Locator tool or other online retailers as they have their own inventory.

Beast 20 or Addiction 15 has a more spacious front ? Beast 20 or Addiction 15 has minimal flex ?

Hi Vadim! They both have the same minimal flex and amount of space in the front. The biggest difference is the Beast '20 has a higher support level than the Addiction GTS 15.

Does the number after Beast indicate the year of manufacture? I.E.0\2014, 2016, 2020, etc? Thanks.

Hi Lee! The number after Beast indicates the year it was released, not necessarily when it was manufactured as we had Beast '20 produced in 2021.

When will the beast be back in stock? 10 extra wide

Hi Danny! Unfortunately, with the current industry-wide supply chain issues, we're unable to provide a specific date of when we'll be getting more of the Beast '20 at this time. We recommend checking with your local shop or other online retailers.

What model Brooks sneaker should I get to help cure/prevent plantar fasciitis?

Hi Harry! Plantar fasciitis can be tricky to solve with a single shoe as it can be quite different from person to person. The Beast '20 may be a great option as we recommend finding shoes with a higher drop from heel to toe, good cushion to take the impact away, and sometimes minimal flex to help in case the other benefits aren't enough for your feet. We recommend visiting a local running shop and having your gait and feet analyzed by a Fit Expert. They'll be able to recommend options accordingly. To find a shop near you, check out our Store Locator tool. https://www.brooksrunning.com/en_us/store-locator

I HAVE THE BROOKS Launch 8 how are they rated?

Hi Gary! The Launch 8 is one of our Neutral styles, where as the Beast '20 is our maximum Support style. If you are having great success with the Launch 8, we recommend sticking to other Neutral styles as the support in Support styles may be too much. Check out the Trace, the Ghost 14, or the Glycerin 19.

What replaced Ariel's? Is there a woman's version of Beast?

Hi Jackie! We still have the Ariel style as the newest iteration is the Ariel '20. The Women's version of the Beast '20 is the Ariel '20.

Hi Mark! The Beast '20 and our other styles are able to be washed by hand. We recommend removing the internal liner and hand wash the shoes in warm water with mild soap. Make sure not to submerge or soak the shoes in water. We do not recommend using a washer or dryer machine for cleaning our shoes, as they can be too aggressive and cause the shoes to stretch or warp compromising the materials and performance of the shoe. Once you are done washing the shoes, stuff your shoes with newsprint and allow them to air dry.

are these good for heavy men?

Hi Thomas! Yes, the Beast '20 is a good option for heavier men. It is a high cushion, maximum support style and it works well for runners and walkers who benefit from extra protection for their feet and knees.

Are they slip resistant ?

Hi Dewayne! As our Beast '20 is designed to grip different terrain, they are not certified slip resistant.

I need max support and cushion with high arch?

Hi Mike! The Beast '20 is a Max Support style with a high level of cushion. The Beast '20 has plenty of volume for a high arch type.

How do these 20's compare to the Beast 16?

Hi Joe! The Beast '20 has the same cushion and support level as the Beast'16. The Beast '20 has our new GuideRails support technology, plus the Beast '20 feels more plush directly under the foot.

I have worn the Beast 12 and 2 pairs of 16, returned a pair of 14. How do the 20 compare to the 16’s?

Hi Joe! The Beast '20 maintains the same support and cushion level as the Beast '16. The Beast '20 is updated with our new GuideRails technology and has a more plush feel under the foot.

The Beast 20 is good looking shoe, but does not provide the required support I need that 18 did. Is there plan to provide a more supportive Motion Control, like 18 did??

Hi James! Thanks for reaching out. The new Beast 20 has transitioned to a more holistic support system that shifts the focus beyond just your feet to the most injury-prone part of a runner's body; the knees by offering GuideRails instead of the support post under your arch you were accustomed to. The new GuideRail system now stabilizes your run without overcorrection or uncomfortable pressure under your arch so it should feel like more cushion than ever. We still have the Addiction 14 that features the under arch roll bar that you might be more used to. We would love to connect with you and help you find your perfect pair. We ask that you reach out to our Runner Experience team and one of our representatives will gladly assist you. Runner Experience: 1-855-427-6657, weekdays 6am-5pm PST.

How many miles do the Beast 20 last. I do daily 4 mile walk run?

Beast 2020 is good for at least 2500 miles. If you run every day, I suggest buying 2 pairs and rotate every other workout. I believe the Beast is the best runner on the market and well worth the money spent.
