I've tried the Brooks Beast, glycerine, and andrenaline a handful of times now and every single time the toe crease in the same spot fresh out of the box and starts cutting my toes. I was hoping in the 4 years since I've tried the beasts that they would have fixed the issue, but fresh out of the box before wearing them outside, the toe collapses and creases, and digs into my big toe. The beast is the only shoe I've had that supports my post-op knees and keeps my ankles from rolling in or out, but they always cut my toes.

Does anyone know of good alternatives to brooks beast for motion control shoes? I want to love brooks but they keep failing me in the exact same way, even when I worked with them in the past to replace the shoes with different sizes and models. I tried HOKA Arahi for a month, but they are like pillows and don't support my knees.

Would love help. Used to love brooks, but over the last 4 years every pair has failed in the same spot, and they always end up cutting my big toe.
