Loving The Calderas

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't have a single bad word to say about these shoes. I spent a little more than I usually do. It was worth it. I love how my feet feel in these shoes.

Not only a beautiful shoe, but a very comfortable one as well. The soles and material are perfect for what I use them for.

A Bit Of A Let Down.

Love the Caldera 7, it was a great combo of cushion and support for trails. The Caldera 8, not so much. Less cushion and the Caldera 8 seems slightly tighter that the 7's (my toes jamb the front of the shoe quite a bit). Also, The colors for Caldera 8 must have been selected by a colorblind person. I had to go with the black shoes which make me look like an old man!

Surprised How Much I Liked Them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Caldera 8 as I was going on vacation to a resort in Tennessee where I had planned several half-day hikes. The trails were “technical” in that they included a lot of loose rocks and tree roots in hilly terrain with creek crossings on damp rocks – the weather was dry and moderate temperatures. My day-to-day running shoe at home over the past year is the Glycerin GTS 22 - prior, my daily shoe was the Adrenaline GTS (for a couple of decades) - I have a slight pronation (I’m 5’10”, 140lbs). I was slightly apprehensive that the Caldera has a midsole drop of 6mm versus the 10mm - 12mm of my daily runners. My experience with the Caldera was that I was highly satisfied (actually surprised on how much I liked them) with their traction and comfort plus the change in midsole drop was insignificant.

Nice Shoe But To Tight

have worn Brooks before, previous model is non longer avalible, suggestion was to try Caldera 8. Arrived quickly, but are much to tight. The other shoe in the order with same size fits perfectly but the Caldera 8 is much too tight in the toe to wear. Some shoes fit tight and break in over a few miles, these are flat out uncomfortable to even walk around the house.
