Cascadia 17 GTX Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Lightweight and colourful

These shoes are very lightweight and perfect for trail running and hiking . I’ve previously worn the Cascadia 16GTX. The gortex is useful for wet runs or hikes. I particularly like the colour of these shoes.

Cascadia 17 GTX trail/hiking Brookes - Top notch

These Cascadia 17 GTX trail/hiking Brookes stood up to the conditions of the 4 day Three Capes hike in Tasmania, Australia incredibly well. I threw in a couple of trail runs and they just got better as the days went on… they are incredibly versatile, tough amd supportive, there was no need to have more than one pair of shoes for this hike.

Require wide width

Wasn’t wide enough and did not come in wide width. None of your waterproof trail shoes do. I live in Florida and need a waterproof trail shoe. Returned the Cascadia and purchased another brand

Excellent for mountain living--stairs, decks, hiking and biking--in all types of weatherb

not happy with this purchase

These shoes cannot compare with the Brooks Levitate 6 which I have been using and have great cushion and are very comfortable. These shoes Cascadia 17 GTX are stiff and are not very comfortable. Are kind of wide providing little support, have no support to the arch, and are narrow around the shoelace area. I'm not happy with this purchase.

Meh

Seems OK so far but a narrow fit. Havent been able to check if water proof yet

Disappointed

I own the regular Cascadia 16. When trying these on the fit was very snug in the height of the instep. The tongue is designed in such a way that (with my high arch) made them different to put on. I also ordered the regular Cacadia 17 which had a tongue that gave easier entry into the shoe. More on that in the review on those. Trail shoes need stiffness but I found the Cascadia 17 GTX so stiff and uncomfortable I put them right back in the box for return. Disappointed. I was excited about a waterproof shoe.

Great trail shoes

Very comfortable on the trail and off. Great tread. Haven’t tested in wet or muddy conditions yet, but I’ve had Goretex before and I know they’re extremely weatherproof.

Not for a wide foot

Seemed like it would be a great shoe but not sadly for a wide foot. Had ro return them.

Great hiking/running shoes

It has the same comfort and structure as my other Brooks shoes. But the deep grooves and treads help my stability in the more rugged and sloping trails.
