In the segment of stability control Running shoes, Brooks Running has always tried to offer the best performance to the pronator runner, and proof of this is that many of its models occupy the top positions in the list of best sellers. One of the most popular models is the Brooks Beast 18, which offers maximum support to correct over-pronation.
Among Brooks Running's longest running sagas, this eighteenth version of the Beast comes in the form of a major update, and especially in its upper. The upper of this specific running shoe for male runners eliminates seams and also implements an engineered mesh, which comes to add a remarkable degree of comfort and breathability.
But let's just say that the Brooks Beast 18 is an interesting option because of its superior cushioning capacity, and that, this time, it's looser than any previous version. And this model has a biomechanical study design to provide progressive support, and to adapt to different weather conditions.
With all this we can summarize the strengths of the new update of the Brooks Beast 18 in the following sections:
These Beast 18 implement the innovative Super DNA foam in the midsole, which offers 25% more cushioning, but also makes it more adaptable than the standard DNA material, as the American brand assures.
This running shoe also includes an extended progressive diagonal stabilizer (PDRB), which serves to provide the model with greater support, given that it is able to guide the body towards the natural movement of the body while running, and that the way you land your feet on the ground is so decisive.
Not to forget that these Brooks Beast 18 also include the external Heel Counter that adds an additional plus of stability.
Thanks to that segmented cushion along its entire length, it not only favors shock absorption, but also allows you to accommodate the foot in any type of landing. All this results in smooth transitions from heel to toe.
On the other hand, these Brooks Beast 18 have an outsole made with HPR Green to adapt to both dry and wet conditions. In addition to completing the outsole with a rubber compound, whose main mission is to increase its useful life. But it should also be noted that this stability model from Brooks Running also incorporates another of Seattle's trademark resources, such as the Groove Omega Flex system to add more flexibility and a greater range of natural freedom of movement for the feet.
All in all, the Brooks 18 is an excellent choice for all overpronators looking for maximum cushioning, additional support and protection. Its technical specifications are 12 millimeters of drop, and weights of 377 grams in the men's version and 335 grams in the women's model.
