I was not going to get these because of the limited selection in looks. But went to the mall and tried on tons of shoes. Finally because of all the amazon reviews I was like, what the hell, let me try the beasts.  They were so dam comfy I dished out the 130 bucks at the store. Same price as amazons. I am a big dude, and got these because my feet hurt in crappy shoes. These are heavenly and well built. Save your bones and go brooks beast, you won't regret it. I may get some for the jobsite too so I can have a work pair to tear up. Cheers!
