The usual, reliable Gore Tex

The Gore-Tex does a good job of keeping the feet dry and letting the moisture go out. A runner noticed that her feet “remained completely dry through multiple puddles,” and they “weren’t sweating up a storm either.”

Another expert added that even on a 90-degree Fahrenheit day her feet “didn’t swelter.”

Brooks Tops the List of 10 Best-Selling

Most reviewers loved the fit of the Cascadia 16 GTX. As one of them said, there’s “a good balance of fit being secure but also comfortable.” Another tester stated that “there is a nice hug going on” and the toe box “comfortably accommodated my ever-prominent bunions.”

Midsole is not perfect, but very enjoyable 

The new DNA Loft v2 foam makes the shoe feel a little softer underfoot. However, as a tester pointed out, it’s “still on the medium-to-firm side of the pendulum” and, in addition, it’s not as responsive as other trail running shoes

  • “smoother than expected and overall easy to move along”
  • “inminente llegada al mercado de las Brooks Cascadia 14”
  • “it put a smile on my face.”

Perfect for difficult trails

“The shoe is extremely stable.” That’s how a tester described her experience with the Cascadia 16 GTX. 

Another experienced runner had the same impression, as he said that it is “a contender for being one of the better stability-oriented trail shoes.”

It wraps your feet

Reviewers stated that the shoe has a secure lockdown, thanks to some details that make a difference while running, such as a lace loop across the midfoot, extra eyelets near the ankle, and even the possibility of attaching gaiters.

A runner summed it up by saying it’s “everything you would want to get wild on the trails.”

Cascadia 16 GTX doesn’t need time

A tester confidently took the shoe immediately out for a 20-mile run and found it “to be comfortable right out of the box.” No need to break it in. 

Not the lightest option

This shoe, according to reviewers, has a few cons. One of these is for sure weight, which is quite average for a Gore-Tex model, yet still, something that reviewers were aware of during their tests.
