I'm about 210 pounds and have wide, flat feet. I run a marathon or ultras about every other month and bought the Brooks Cascadia 4 for trail and path running. After putting about 100 miles in the shoes, I can safely say that the Cascadia is the most stable and grippy trail shoe I've run in. The toe box is roomy, the interior upper is smooth and does not cause blisters, and the tread lugs provide confident traction. My only issue is that the shoe could be less stiff and rigid (perhaps the sole is overbuilt to protect against rocks and debris). If you buy this shoe, buy half to one size larger than normal.

Great neutral trail shoe -
I've got about 300 miles on my Cascadia 4s so far and am very happy with them. Good feel for the trail and they fit like a glove. Not a lot of cushion, but plenty for singletrack trails. My longest run has been a half-marathon so I can't say for sure how they do for longer runs, but I would guess they'll do just fine.

If you are going to spend this much and you want the best all-around shoe for all terrain and all season, this is the one! I am 6'2";, 190 lbs, neutral runner with high arches. I run 15-20 miles a week on mostly pavement, some single track, and occasional treadmill. I have never been disappointed with Brooks ever. They have taken me on six mile, muddy trail runs with elevation gains and losses over 2000 ft, and they have proven themselves on road races up to 12k. One wouldn't think a trail shoe would do very well on a treadmill, but these shoes perform on any surface. They breathe in hot weather, but don't freeze my feet in the snow. The traction is stable on wet pavement, leaves, pine needles, even sand. I used to run Montrail and nothing else. When I heard that Scott Jurek (ultra runner champion) was designing this shoe (Cascadia 1), I had to try it. Needless to say, I don't run Montrail anymore. I ran the sole of of the Cascadia 2, Cascadia 3, and I just got the 4 today. Ran four miles and they are perfect right out of the box. I might add these are the best looking of all the Cascadias. Don't waste time looking for a better all around shoe, this is it, buy it, you will not regret this purchase!

Excellent running sneaker built to ACTUALLY run in. They are super comfortable and very cushy. The bottom of the sole is unique as it has no arch on the outside. As such, the soles can get a little slippery at times, but it\'s not something that a little scoring doesn\'t fix. I love these sneakers and I love the fact that I can take them both on road and off-road. On top of all that... They look great!

I bought the red/grey color scheme. Looks good and extremely comfortable. The only con is the grey material; it is similar to felt (nubuck?). Otherwise, great shoe.

Huge fan of the Cascadia 1 shoe. Ever since then they have gone downhill IMO. Purchased this version 4 hoping it would be a good shoe. Nope. Not for me. Plenty of people like them but I am not one of them. Too soft and squishy for trail shoes. Very unstable on uneven terrain. I ran several 5 to 8 mile trail runs on them and hated them. Purchase Salmon Speedcross 2's and love them. Low to the ground. Minimal amounts of cushion and light. You may indeed like these as many do but if you want a low to the ground low cushion shoe look at the Speedcross over these. My 2 cents.

Comfortable shoe, very nice grip and cushioning. Unfortunately not a stability shoe (which it is categorized as by Brooks). I'm using green Superfeet and still not enough arch support. Bummer. Nice looking shoe, too; just better for a more neutral runner.

Pretty good shoes, I get shin splints easily and they didn't help that too much, but they are very comfy just walking the trails. I def. recommend you use these on the trails as that is what they are designed for.

Brooks Cascadia 4 -
I just love these shoes. They are a true trail shoe. If you plan to run on the road in these- don’t. They are made for the rocks, mud and dirt. Super comfy, not heavy or too much padding. This is my 2nd pair and perfect for long distance trails.

A great trail running shoe! I am a daily trail runner and have used New Balance and Adidas trail shoes previously, but purchased the Cascadia 4 after reading reviews in a couple running magazines. They are true to size and feel broken-in right out of the book. They have a roomy toe box, and a great fit through the forefoot and heel. Great traction and stability on rocky trails and through mud, and the sole clears mud well. I highly recommend this shoe.
Other brands recommended by reviewer: Brooks road running shoes also offer a great fit and excellent durability.

KGM Brooks Cascadia 4 and Recommendations -
The Brooks Cascadia 4 is a good all around running and walking shoe that is very comfortable. This shoe can be used when running on a wide variety of surfaces including treadmill in the club, hard packed trails (not so good for loose dirt, mud, or rocks), streets, or sidewalks. I use this shoe for these situations. However, if you are looking for a dedicated trail running shoe, I recommend the Vasque Aether Tech SS, which provides superior footing on all types of terrain including muddy trails, sand, dirt, rocky areas, and hard pack, but is not so good on the streets. Get the SS version since the regular version has mesh uppers (as does the Cascadia 4), which let in dirt and sand and watery mud, whereas the Vasque Aether Tech SS provide uppers that screen out these materials. In addition, the Vasque Aether Tech SS give you innovative coated steel wire laces and knob tightener, providing the flexibility necessary for trail running, whereas the Cascadia 4 provide standard shoe laces. If you really want a shoe for both running on concrete and some limited trail use, the Cascadia 4 is a good choice. Compared with the Cacadia 3, it is about the same in terms of feel and performance; the 4 just has better styling in my opinion.

 |  | Most of the time people just email to complain. This is just the opposite. I'm totally thrilled with my purchase, as I have been in the past just buying shoes. This is going to be the best Christmas ever for my mom. I was a wee bit unsure about ordering some clothing online for her since she is so incredibly fussy, but this item is perfect! The quality is awesome and I will make sure I tell everyone who shops online to check out Zappos! Thank you so much and Happy Holidays! |  | ~ Lori L., October 20 2009
