We believe the intent was to target a wider consumer demographic, as opposed to the hard-core stability shoe loyalist. And finishing off the shoe is the introduction of their DNA Loft v3 midsole, a nitrogen-infused EVA that’s found in models like the Aurora and Glycerin GTS 20. The plush midfoot transition zone is designed to propel your movements from heel to toe, especially for a neutral runner to maintain the most efficient gait possible for a smoother ride. Tuned Density Midsole (TDM) material offers a custom ride that corresponds with a runner's gender and weight.

This is the first new version of the Beast since 2020, and while the weight has generally remained the same, things have changed. The hard plastic material at inside back heel is completely broken up and is now tearing apart my heels.I went for a run straight after the purchase and the comfort and support in my new shoes is incredible. The Beast 20 running shoes have the GuideRails technology, which provides effective support and stability for the knees. There’s one thing which the Brooks Beast doesn’t do very well, and that happens to be runs of a quicker kind. When you make a purchase using the retailer links in our reviews, solereview may earn a small commission. We have in hand a 3D printed, engineered mesh upper to allow some stretch when your feet begin to swell on a longer run while keeping more security to provide a reliable hold on your foot.

But I can still get out there and run and walk – and I think Brooks for continuing to make the Beast and strive to make improvements. While I understand its purpose, there are better options out there, like the new Asics Gel-Kayano 30. This reliable men’s running shoe offers just-right support and reduces impact for a more comfortable stride.Having the cushioning and support helps to lessen the impact placed upon your joints as well as attenuating shock, minimising the potential risk of injury or discomfort. The BioMoGo DNA midsole provides ultra-softness and durability and the Ultimate Sockliner increases walking comfort. Finished with a rounded heel, the slight curvature vastly improves the alignment of the body for an efficient stride and reduces internal stress on the body and joints. Unfortunately, the outsole pattern attracted all sorts of debris due to how much of a gap there was in the tread.
