Gore Tex Waterproof Hiking Shoes

5 Cascadia20GTX
[ I am a dedicated trail runner. My favorite activity is off road running, but my busy schedule does not always allow for me to find a trail. In these situations I will run on a track or even my neighborhood streets. My enthusiasm requires that I exercise in all weather conditions. Rain does not alter my routine. I need a shoe that will stand up to wet, or even muddy conditions. I found the Cascadia 20 GTX completely waterproof. I did not think that a shoe that was this comfortable could possibly accomplish this. I was pleasantly surprised. Muddy trail conditions did not slow me down considerably. I was able to maintain traction in the harsh and uneven conditions that I often find my self in. My extended trail running requires that I feel secure and comfortable in my shoe. The cushioning in my Cascadia 20 GTX is very soft and protective and enhanced my confidence during my long trail runs. I highly recommend this Trail running shoe,

[ These trail runners are fantastic! The standout feature is without a doubt the traction. These shoes have the best grip I ’ ve ever experienced on a shoe. Despite being waterproof, they do n't feel stiff. The weatherproofing keeps your feet dry without the clunky `` hiking boot '' feel on your feet. Best of all, they ’ re genuinely comfortable over long miles. There ’s plenty of cushion to take the harshness out of rocky trails.

[ Out of the box, I was intrigued by how lightweight this trail runner felt. In the past, my trail running shoes have felt a bit more heavy than the Brooks Cascadia 20. Eager to try them out, I slipped them on in the house and they almost felt glued to the floor due to the amount of grip the tread provides. I was impressed by the cushion as well and couldn ’ t wait to test them out on the trail the next day. The next morning, I awoke to a light rain and headed out to my local Florida trail comprised of mostly small sandy climbs and a few rocky sections. After my first mile in the rain, I was impressed by how dry the shoes kept my feet. The water wicked away quickly on the Gore- Tex outer material quite well. I experienced some heavy rain and mud, and this didn ’ t slow me down. Overall, my socks stayed dry and clean allowing me to continue for several more miles. Honestly, I might have developed blisters in another shoe not as waterproof and robust as the Brooks Cascadia 20. As far as performance goes in wet, muddy, and slippery conditions, the shoes did amazing. The grip is superb and I had no issues running through slick mud, slippery rocks, and sketchy wooden boardwalks. Typically, I have to hold back in these conditions, but the Brooks Cascadia 20 gave me confidence to push through at a steady pace. Not only did I maintain a steady pace, I was able to complete the 9 mile trail without noticing any discomfort. The cushion provided is quite supple but feels stiff enough not to impede your stride. Even when wet, I never felt as if my feet were sagging down

[ I have been loving the Brooks Cascadia 20 GTX! I run approximately 20 miles a week, 15 or more of which are on trail. With daily afternoon showers keeping the trails muddy, these have become my new go to shoes. The GoreTex keeps my feet dry in rain and when splashing through creeks and puddles, but they are still breathable. They are shaping up to be an all season shoe when the trail gets sloppy. In addition to the waterproofing, the Cascadia 20s provide the comfort I ’ ve become to expect out of Brooks. I ’ ve had countless pairs and they all fit true to size and are so comfortable even on longer 7+mile runs. I haven ’ t experienced any hot spots or blisters, even in the rain. I run across many roots and rocks on the trails and have found the traction to be great. The soles eject mud well and don ’ t get caked up with heavy debris. As all trail runners know, the toe protection is important as well. I ’ ve kicked several roots and rocks and the toe box guarded my feet well. I ’ d recommend the Brooks Cascadia 20 GTX to anyone looking for a comfortable all terrain, wet weather shoe!!

[ I ’ ve been running in the Cascadia 20 GTX on multiple rainy days on the trail and they ’ ve performed amazingly well. I LOVE THESE SNEAKERS! The GORE- TEX keeps my feet dry through wet grass, mud, light rain, and shallow stream crossings. In really heavy prolonged rain a little water can eventually sneak in around the collar, but overall they stay comfortable and don ’ t get soggy. The Vibram sole is extra grippy and the aggressive tread gives a really secure purchase, even on wet rocks, slippery roots, and uneven terrain. I feel confident without slipping. In deep sticky mud the shallower lugs can pack up a bit, but for normal wet trail conditions the grip is excellent. I ’ ve never had a running shoe with this much cushion. The foam absorbs impact really well and I love that I don ’ t feel hard rocks under my feet, though I do lose a bit of feedback from the trail. After long runs my feet don ’ t feel tired and look forward to going longer in them. Overall these have become my go to for wet weather and all conditions trail runs. They ’ re protective, secure, and reliable whenever the weather turns messy. Definitely inspires confidence in my runs.
