Brooks Beast

The durability of this year's model has gone down considerably. I have used them for the last three years, and they have been great until the new style. They are lighter and lasted about a month before they became uncomfortable. New lighter material in padding is not lasting as long. Exterior of shoe is holding up fine. I changed to a different brand after two pairs in less than 4 months. I wore daily, not for running/training.

The Beast is known for its stability and still provides excellent stability. The interior padding on the bottom of the foot goes "flat" within a month of normal daily wear and walking.  The Beast from the last two years lasted quite a long time, even wearing them to train and work out in. 

This year's model feels lighter, but the durability is lacking. I was told the material change to make them lighter is the cause. The lighter shoe is more appealing to distance runners. I will not be buying them again. They are too expensive to get only a month of comfort out of.
