Cascadia 17 Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Great show. Bought two pair after buying three of the previous model. Comfortable for running errands or light hiking/running on trails.

Remove the insole that comes with the shoe and you’ll have more toe space, and a more comfortable surface.

Comfortable and stable

Tried a few hiking footwear but have found the Cascadia 17 incredibly stable and comfortable. The app to choose the correct footwear was really helpful. Will look to purchase another pair in the next few months hopefully

I'm not new to Brooks, but this is something different. Great fit, great feel, lightweight and awesome! Will buy again.

Great shoe for other activities such as hockey.

Well used and holding up already under competition hockey events.

Great

The shoes are great I use them for all my terrain long runs

Excellent for trails and mountain biking

Perfect amount of support and firmness in sole. Does not have excessive rocker. Excellent traction. I wear cushioned socks and size up 1/2 size. Very durable shoe great for hiking, rocky runs, and mountain biking. I have worn Cascadias on two bike trips across the U.S. and the GDMBR mtn bike route.

Close but a miss...

This would be a five star shoe except for a couple changes to the upper from the Cascadia 16. First, some background...I've been running trails for over 35 years. I loved the first Cascadia, and probably went through more than a dozen pairs. Then Brooks lost their way; the Cascadia drifted from the trail shoe I loved. I moved to other brands. Enter the Cascadia 16...boom, a great revamp!! Brooks seemed to go back to their original roots with a great update, and I reunited with Brooks. Then after a very brief period, Brooks introduced the Cascadia 17. And I'm bummed again. Yes, the new Trail Adapt System is definitely an upgrade. But for goodness sake, why add volume to the forefoot? It makes the shoe unstable on technical trails. And what's up with those silly lace loops? You can't get a good fit/lockdown. Just stick with the simple eyelets in the rubberized overlay, as with the 16's; don't overthink or listen to some marketing wonk. I've seen pictures of the Cascadia 18 and, sadly, it's got MORE of those silly lace loops. So I suspect it'll be a pass too. Make the Cascadia the great shoe that it should be. Use the sole/Trail Adapt System and add the forefoot volume and the simple lacing system found on the Catamount 2 and BOOM...you've got a five star (or more) long-distance trail shoe! And PLEASE don't mess with the Catamount; 2 and 3 are essentially the same. It's an INCREDIBLE trail shoe for technical trails and racing.

Comfortable.

Mine were a bit wide for my foot but not much concern for the low miles i plan to run. These are very comfortable and comfy for the heel striker i am.

White for trail runners?

I have been backpacking wearing Cascadia for about 8 years and need a size 14W. With the Cascadia 17 the only color in my size is the white! White for a trail runner? Really? I bought them but will be looking for other shows.
