Brooks Men's Beast '20 Running Shoe

Product Information

At this stage I am looking for mainly road running trainers, to be worn with or without (preferably) my insoles. Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions. All the best with your walking and running. The Hyperion Max is difficult to categorize, but that’s exactly why it’s one of the best Brooks running shoes: It does many things very well. The “max” in Hyperion Max refers to the hefty wedge of nitrogen-infused DNA Flash foam in the shoe’s midsole, which is very light and creates a plush, highly responsive ride. That makes the Hyperion Max an incredible dynamic shoe: You can lace them up for a long, mellow run or put them on for speedwork.

I run 5times a week but my shoes need some time to air out so I'm looking for a second shoe to put in rotation for the shorter in between runs. My main shoes are the brooks Glycerin GTS 19. I'm a fore foot striker with slight overpronation.I have chronic Achilles problems and overpronation as well and I've used a variety of stability shoes in my time –currently Brooks GTSwhich I really love. Personally I prefer stability to motion control because they're lighter and more flexible –easier to move in –but if the pronation is very severe, you may need to go the motion control route. DNA is the brand’s most basic EVA foam. Its primary attribute is softness, which it brings to entry-level shoes across all three shoe categories. While DNA doesn’t have the pillowy feel or high energy return of Brooks’ more advanced foams, it’s a tried-and-true option that creates dependable cushioning. If you just need a basic trainer and don’t want to spend a lot of money, DNA will work well for you.

You're right, for many people it's a minefield - particularly if you've got different sized feet and one foot pronates and one doesn't. Also if you need some off-road grip, that limits your options. Support and stability mean the same thing really when we're talking about running shoes, ie the shoe is designed to prevent overpronation. A motion control shoe is an extreme version of the same. Motion control shoes are designed for the very severe overpronator – someone whose arches collapse right in. They are very strong and tend to be a bit stiffer and heavier.

Trail

The Beast 22 offers a reliable and durable performance thanks to the rubber outsole and the TPU heel counter. The shoe also has a good grip on various terrains, thanks to the flex grooves and the segmented crash pad. The shoe is designed to last for hundreds of miles without losing its quality or functionality. I’m a bartender and server at a very busy restaurant. I bought ASICS GT 1000 for my over pronation but am still experiencing ankle pain. What do you suggest? Asics kayano? Wrapping my ankles and different shoes? Sorry to hear that. sounds very unpleasant! If your Physio has advised you to wear a more supportive running shoe to stabilise your feet and prevent the rolling inwards, I would suggest looking at one of these: I am so disappointed in the Brooks Beast 20. I have worn Brooks Beast for many years. I changed from Saucony to Brooks Beast when Brooks Beast came in with a wider toe and and deeper toe box. If the doctor has suggested New Balance motion control shoes then the M860might be worth a try. It has good medial support but it will be lighter, more flexible and more breathable than your 990s. I would class it as a stability shoe rather than a motion control shoe. we used to have a shoe called the 940 from New Balance which was more of a motion control shoe but they don't bring it into the UK any more.
