How it ranks
The Brooks Beast’s rating is an early estimate. We’ve collected 6 runner reviews so far, with product line history also informing the score.
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 is low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
78 Moderate

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.
