Brooks Cascadia for the trails

Anonymous runner · Jan 7, 2020

5/5

Overall

I am on my third pair over the last 5 years. Each new version has retained all the features I like and not changed how it feels! I will be looking for my next pair soon and expect I will have my expectations met by the newer version.

Durable and Reliable Trail Shoe

I've been using this shoe on long trail runs. A bit heavy after significant miles. Provides great grip on the trails, especially in wet weather. Super durable and stable.

Cascadia 13 best edition

Anonymous runner · Jul 4, 2019

5/5

Overall

Most durable trail runner I’ve had. I’ve climbed the highest peak in Idaho with the Cascadia and logged many trail miles. The lugs are are spacious enough and the upper is breathable and offers good protection from mud, dirt etc.
