I have the 16GTX version and they are superb winter trail runners. The traction is like knobby tires on a truck. Ice snow rain streams puddles, Nothing can stop you! I also hike mountains in them. I would not run road races in them. I would not tun cross country races either , They are bulky built like tank all terrain shoes. Built for protection and traction …NOT Built for Speed! I own 2 pairs and use them alot for my off road adventures. One of my favs
Great question. I’d say you might be better off with the Caldera 7. I’ve been testing that shoe for a bit and I’d much rather run longer sessions in the Caldera 7 than the Cascadia. Hope that helps!
Yeah, I don’t know what happened with me saying that. The Caldera 7 is def their Max cushioned trail shoes. Super plush and comfortable. ua-cam.com/video/MBtWeFG5Zgw/v-deo.html
Not if you’re trying to prevent water from getting in the shoe. The Cascadia is just like every other shoe and will let water in. They make a GTX version for the 17 if that helps to know. And it should be discounted these days
More black and dark grey colors please. I don't like looking like a disco tech.
Best review !🎉
do the Brooks Running Cascadia 17 *GTX* Shoes

100% agree with your assessment. Yeah the GTXs would be legit for our winters. Thanks for adding to the conversation Michael!
Does the grip hold on slightly hardened ice ?
so beautiful shoes but is this suitable for 100 miles race sir?

@@timetorunchannel Thank you so much for your suggestion but I don't like the design of Caldera 7
Brooks site says it’s not a max cushion shoe. I wish it was. :(

Is cascadia 18 gtx waterproof thanks
Yes, it is. Their Air mesh upper has a water proof membrane designed by Gore-Tex and utilizes their Invisible Fit technology
@@timetorunchannel thank you. Im wondering if cascadia 17 would do the job of cascadia 18 gtx
