INTRODUCTION

The Beast is a maximum feature, maximum motion control shoe for daily training and high mileage. It is built with a semi-straight shape.

CUSHIONING

Hydroflow ST-XL is located in the heel and is a large cushioning device which consists of a chamber filled with viscous fluid. Hydroflow ST-XL is designed to attenuate shock, dampen impact forces and provide added heel stability.
E1 Fusion is sandwiched in the heel and is a gel material that helps dampen forces upon heel impact.
Forefoot Hydroflow is located where the metatarsal head region of the foot rests in the shoe. Forefoot Hydroflow is designed to attenuate shock and dampen forces.
E2 Fusion is positioned beneath the metatarsals and is a resilient compound designed to increase propulsion during toe off.

MIDSOLE

BioMoGo is Brook's premium midsole material. BioMoGo is designed to offer resilient cushioning and extends the full length of the midsole. BioMoGo is also environmentally friendly, as it will biodegrade 50 times faster in a landfill compared to traditional foam midsoles.
Extended Progressive Diagonal Rollbar (PDRB) begins at the medial heel and extends through to the medial forefoot. PDRB is a tri-density BioMoGo construction which is designed to smoothly reduce excess pronation.
DRB Accel is located at the bottom of the midsole in the midfoot. DRB Accel is an injected thermoplastic polyurethane unit which is intended to balance support and torsional rigidity with responsiveness for smooth and fast heel-to-toe movement.
MC Pod Configuration is a midsole/outsole design pattern intended to set the foot up for an efficient, balanced position from heel to toe. The focus of this design is on maximum motion control and flexibility.

UPPER

Element Mesh is a moisture-managing, breathable mesh that covers large expanses of of the upper.
Synthetic Overlays are strategically located with the purpose of providing a secure fit.
Element Linings lie along the underside of the upper to aid in moisture transfer and comfort.
Internal Support Saddle is located in the midfoot with the purpose of providing a more secure midfoot fit.
Ultimate Sockliner is a well cushioned, moisture wicking insole.
Cushole S-257 Last utilizes a full length layer of advanced foam to provide cushioning and flexibility.

OUTSOLE

HPR Plus is a form of high abrasion-resistant rubber and is located in the heel.
HPR Green is primarily located in the forefoot and is a durable compound made with dispersed silica resulting in increased traction and skid-resistance.
MC Pod Configuration is a midsole/outsole design pattern intended to set the foot up for an efficient, balanced position from heel to toe. The focus of this design is on maximum motion control and flexibility.
