So far one of the best running shoes I ever owned.

Cascadia

Very nice shoe the fit is overall good and traction good as well

I have been running in brooks for 15 years. These are best shoes I have ever worn. I run in fairly technical routes, 3-4 miles a day. up and down and rocks and ledges and these shoes are comfortable, have great traction and perfect for the trails. Of all the Brooks I have owned these are number 1.

I’ve been using this trail runner since version 17 and have always loved it. But I must say the redesign on version 19 is spot on. I have already exhausted a pair and on to my second pair.

Good Shoes With Excellence Potential

I used the Cascadia 19 as my last pair of shoes to finish my Pacific Crest Trail Thruhike. What I like about the shoe: - very good grip - lacing and tongue are thought through - durability of the sole - performance in extreme wetness (three days of consecutive rain, the cushioning only worn out a little and dried quite quickly) What I don’t like: - as with most hiking shoes the insole is so cheaply made that my toes started to hurt (10-13 hours hiking a day, might not be a problem during runs) - the shoe has the disadvantage (had the same issue with the Speedgoat 6) that on uneven ground it cuts into my ankles (was a problem as the trail is quite uneven/ slanted) - my biggest worry was that a stone would cut through the sole - this is exactly what happened as the sole has an unprotected soft part under the heel and I strike quite a bit with heels while walking- so towards the end I could pull a sharp stone out of the outer sole, that got stuck in the rubber - would definitely introduce a rock plate to prevent that from happening In general I think Brooks did a good job in the shoe and I understand why it is first choice for some Thruhikers - there are a couple of things to lift the shoe from a good to an excellent shoe though. P.S.: Review based on PCT Thruhikers and the last section in Washington
