- Do you hike in walking boots, trail runners or even barefoot? There are so many options out there for hiking and before walking long distance trails and thru-hikes I used to be in the boot camp. However, over the last 5-6 years my go to are trail runners. In this video I share my favourite ones and give a review on the latest model - the Brooks Cascadia 16.

This is the pair of shoes I wore during the trail race which I got the champion trophy. I love the grip of the sole spikes when I run bravely downhill. I am a newbie in trail running and Brooks made me run happy😊
Yay!
Great review! Just bought my first pair!
Your energy is simply adorable, you elaborated this so nicely! Love it! 🔥🔥
Thanks so much!
@@MarysOutdoorAdventures Agree with that assessment. You are so personable.
Good to know about the customer service, I also think it’s very important and it shows they care.
Thank you , we trust your honesty and experience. 🙏🏻🥰
Thank you Anita, I hope you are keeping well? 😊
I too have the 16 for hiking and trail running find them perfect and bomb proof. I also have the 17 and still prefer the 16.
Always a delight to hear your videos Mary. Informative. x
Thank you for sharing another great a d informative video.
Your gear reviews are always excellent!
I appreciate that - thank you! 😊
I love to hike in trail runners. That's what I usually do when it's warm.
I’ll be using these on my AT through hike… hate sore feet
I can credit the arguments for opting for trail runners for backpacking -- especially for thru-hikes. They are easier on your feet over a 15-20 mile day, you can get them wet and they will dry out pretty quickly, they are cooler on hot days, and they are simply lighter and less tiring over days and weeks. I will eventually probably switch over if I try a thru-hike. The concern I have is ankle support. I have an ankle that I suspect was broken several years back but never totally healed. I re-broke it backpacking a couple of year later (this time I went to a podiatrist and actually did the right things to let it heal). But I continue to be wary about over-stressing it. Plus, I live in the eastern U.S., where the trails are older (including the AT) and so worn down that long stretches of them are nothing but rocks and roots. So I am staying in light boots to protect from rolling my ankles every 30 minutes on trail. How are the trail runners for ankle support and stability?
Hi John, they really are great for thru-hiking and I wouldn’t wear anything else. But considering your ankle break it sounds like you have made the right decision to stay in your boots for now. I can say from personal experience that the ankle support in trail runners is not great when faced with uneven terrain. I took several months building up ankle strength when I started hiking in trail runners as well as specific ankle exercises. It’s a slow process and it does help, but they would never give the support a boot would.
@@MarysOutdoorAdventures I have found that running has helped strengthen the ankle a good bit, along with some stretches I do for my ankles, but the left one (the one that broke) is still a bit wonky. Maybe I will get there at some point, and I can totally see the advantage of the trail runners -- not least because they double as running trainers. It's counter-intuitive that trails in the eastern U.S. would be so rough on your feet, but as I said, they are worn down to bedrock in some places, and the geology has a lot of granite, so you can go a ways with no flat surface to walk on, just rocks jutting up all cattywampus. In fairness, I have seen some of that in your videos, too.
And they come in your, Mary, favourite colour. lol x
Team teal all the way 😂
" I'm like Goldy locks " 😂 lol.
Smart 2 go a wee bit lgr !!!
I know, I don't know where I get them from sometimes 🙄😆
@@MarysOutdoorAdventures ur just a natural kiddo 😀👍🏽
Good review, but I wear boots. The reason for this is I worked in heavey industry, and one thing I hated more than anything else was my ankles being clobbered. It hurts. Boots give you ankle protection.
Yes there is less clobbering in boots 😆
Do they have as much support as a low hiking shoe/boot?
No, they are quite low on the ankles to be honest compared to boots and hiking specific shoes.
Many miles and trips with these shoes in Maria 🎩🤓 Beautiful color, bonito as cores do novo tênis. Human adaptation to sudden climate change takes time. From tropical climate to snowy environments and vice versa. Nariz gelado ? Bruuu bruuuu One more sun to warm your nose 🌞 vice-versa? Cuja ordem está invertida, em relação à ordem inicial; no sentido oposto; inversamente
💖💖💖
Didnt get wet when step on snow? i saw on 0:42 in VDO
Oh yes - my feet got soaked in the shoes! They are not waterproof.
I am going on a whitewater canoe trip this summer in the Yukon. Would these be good? Thanks
They are designed for running or hiking on trails, I'm sure there is more suitable footwear for being in a canoe.
Any ankle issues with these shoes
No issues personally - but as they are not meant as ankle support it is possible to roll an ankle easily.
😘
How many miles would you estimate these trail runners last?
They always recommend between 300-500 miles, but I often get 700 out of my Brooks! I think it's perhaps because I mainly use them for hiking. At 500-700miles I also find I see no wear and tear on the soles, it is usually the inner cushioning at the heel that wears out. I know there are non-visual signs of wear and tear in the sole cushioning which your body can feel, but again hiking in them it isn't too noticeable.
@@MarysOutdoorAdventures Thanks Mary. I’m still old school boots 🥾 and my oldest pair has a few thousand miles on them. Trail runners are intriguing because of the weight. I think I will have to actually try them. 🌿
Problem with this kind of shoes is when you turn 70 and you take all that inclination on your heel. Thats where Barefoot Zero drop shoes, shines.
