How it ranks
The Brooks Beast ranks above most daily trainers in our data. Durability and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 6 runner reviews and 5 other rated shoes in the Beast product line. Another 6 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
56/100

Can't run anymore, so bought it for walking.
I should have thought harder when the salesman said it would last 6 months. 2 miles a day walking? Six months.
The toes area is already bald. Like my head.
