Brooks Men’s Cascadia 17 Trail Running Shoe

Did several trail runnnig races on muddy, rocky technical conditions, including Ultra trail Fitz Roy in Patagónia ( 25- 44Km). Wide option is confy, did not get one blister. Handles well technical terrain uphill and downhill. Traction is good. Foot are well secure. Sole logs seems to last way more than speed goat 5. Upper sole is resistant with good enough toe protection. They dry fast after crossing several water crosses. It has not the heel cushing of Caldera 6, but Caldera did not have enough space in the toe box for me, nor the wide option either. Great trail running shoe.

10/10. Complete shoe! I just did a 5 day climb of Mt. Kenya (17,000 ft) and it kept dry and warm (with good socks) the entire time. Rain, snow, mud, scree. Awesome traction, light weight, comfortable. I was nervous climbing in harsh conditions without boots but i’d go with these again and again. Fits true to size but make sure they’re broken in before any significant usage. I did light hikes for a few months beforehand and had zero blisters.

As a runner w wide feet, only a few brands of shoe fit well. Brooks is one of them. Size 10EE and this shoe fits perfectly. As a lugged trail running shoe, I could not ask for more. Slightly stiff which I want in this type of shoe, very stable. My foot feels locked in. Slightly heavier than other shoes but it’s a trail runner, not a sprinting spike. They clean up fairly well, are breathable. I am a huge fan of this show.

Bought a EE size but it's barely wide in the mid-foot, toebox is okay, not anything special. The shoes themselves are quite good tho, the cushioning is firm but still very comfortable, exactly what I want for a trail shoe. The full rock plate does an excellent job of making rocks vanish underfoot especially when combined with the protective cushioning. The upper seems pretty decent but again could use some more width in the mid-foot area. Still easy enough to get a good lockdown. The outsole is mostly good, nice lugs, a good pattern and the split heel really soaks up uneven surfaces, the compound itself isn't the stickiest rubber I've used however, this is Megagrip levels of traction but it's not terrible.

These shoes are great for aggressive hikers who NEED confidence in their tread. I am an avid Hawaii hiker and trail runner. I often find myself on advanced or expert level hikes where shoe grip can be the difference between a great hike and a ride to the hospital. I have had no issues with these, through arid dirt, thick mud, streams, and boulders. That said, I would not choose these again simply because I didn't realize how HOT waterproof shoes get when running on dry trails in the sun. Now, these are AMAZING for cooler places or rainy days where you don't want soggy feat, but if you're tackling a 4 hour trail in the 83 degree Hawaii sun, your feet are going to sweat. When I ordered a new pair, I chose the normal version, same style.

I got these shoes to be my all weather shoes for disc golfing. I have tried many different kinds of hiking and athletic shoes but these so far have been the best! They are most definitely waterproof (so no more waterproof socks!) but still very comfortable and breathable! They fit perfectly for my normal shoe size and provide good neutral support. Also the toe box is not too narrow or wide, which is something I've had issues with on other hiking shoes. I haven't had any issues with traction or slipping at all, although when I first got them I did notice in particular for disc golfing the traction was so good that my foot would at times struggle rotating as I threw, which cause some knee pain. It went away as the shoe broke in though. I am a lifelong Brooks shoe supporter and these definitely live up to the name! They are definitely worth the price to get something that won't break down quickly like most other shoes I've tried.

Comfy, great tread, warerproof

Brooks are one of the few brands that I know will reliably fit me comfortably without me having to try it on in store, and this pair was no different. Secure on all sides but not cramped. My toes aren't being squeezed together. The shoe's fit follows the natural contours of my foot... so much better than feeling your foot being reshaped. Decent streamline, weight distribution, and shock absorption. I wish they weren't blue but that's all that was left available and it won't matter once they start getting muddy. My biggest complaint is that these "new" shoes arrived with dog hair all over them. Some stuck to the bottom and laces, but countless dog hairs inside the each shoe stuck to the insoles. Clearly somebody owning a dog tried on these shoes while wearing their fur laden socks, walked around in their home to test them, didn't like them, and returned them, where in turn they were redistributed to me without anyone along the way inspecting them or making any attempts to clean them up. One or two rogue hairs wouldn't be worth mentioning, but this amount borders on contamination and should not have been sold as "new". Very off-putting and disappointing, especially for a $100+ pair of shoes. One of the many downsides to online shopping. I'll be picking the insoles clean or replacing them before I start wearing these shoes around.

Muy buena calidad y comodidad . Un 10 a Brooks.

Las escogí porque tengo las Glycerin de asfalto y estoy encantado con ellas. El ajuste es muy bueno, son transpirables y no excesivamente duras para ser unas zapatillas de trail. El taco es bueno y agarran bien en piedra mojada y lisa.

Brooks, toujours ok Dès le premier jour impeccable et aucun inconvénients pour le pied.

No son flexibles Esperaba algo más cómodo Tipo los Salomón Saludos

I love brooks cascadias and knew exactly what to order but was sent a US size instead of UK so were too small so had the faff of returning and reordering, please read the box guys ;)
