Top Reasons to Buy the Men’s Brooks Beast 18
Need lots of arch support and stability from your shoes? You’ll never feel unstable in your running shoes again with the Brooks Beast 18. Designed for maximum motion control (no other shoe provides more support!), these shoes protect against overpronation without feeling rigid during your run or workout.
The Beast 18’s Super DNA midsole serves up an amazing 25% more adaptable cushioning than Brooks’ standard DNA midsole. These ultra-supportive midsoles cradle your feet as if they were designed just for you and serve up the smoothest ride you can imagine.
The inside footbed of the Beast 18 is carefully designed with curves that more closely mimic the shape of your foot so it fits like a glove and creates a totally natural heel-to-toe feel.
What People are Saying About the Men’s Brooks Beast 18
The Beast 18 supports and steadies feet on your run better than any shoe out there. In fact, it’s so supportive many reviewers, especially those with flat arches and even plantar fasciitis, said the Beast drastically reduced soreness in their feet and legs.
Guys who reviewed the men’s Beast 18 agreed that the reinforced heel counter cups heels and holds żem in place nice and snug. Slip on a pair of the Beast 18’s and you’ll immediately feel the heel collar’s soft, cushy material is so comfortable you’ll never have to worry about blisters and chafing during the break-in period.
While some motion control running shoes can feel clunky as a brick, reviewers noted the Beast 18 is lightweight, flexible and somehow manages to never compromise on support. They also noted how the shoe guides your foot, and therefore your whole body, into its natural motion path thanks to the built-in Extended Progressive Diagonal Rollbar.

If you’re an athlete with arch support issues, you’ll be glad to know the Segmented Crash Pads have been reworked to gently correct your posture and smooth out impact of every step-no matter how hard you pound the pavement.
