Customer Reviews Brooks Cascadia 9

This is my second pair of Cascadia's. Brooks does a great job and these are a great trail shoe! I wore these for my first half trail marathon and they were perfect! The toe box is a little wider to help your toes with the downhills and the tread is flatter to help keep you stable in uneven terrain. They look good too!

Comfortable and supportive; good padding under the ball of the foot. Great color combo, too.The lacing is very secure & keeps the tongue centered without you having to tie the laces too tight.

Love Brooks Cascadia shoes! I walk on blacktop all day at work and these are the best shoes that I have found for the job. They are extremely comfortable and durable with no break in time required. I previously owned Brooks Cascadia 8 and loved them so I'm glad that the new version is still awesome!

These are really great shoes. Very comfortable. From another company, I was told to get a size bigger than usual. But guess what? It was a size too big. I needed to go "true to size" and reordered from Zappos instead. I have a very high instep and am happy about decent cushion in the forefoot. Also, I have a somewhat wide foot and this shoe is quite roomy. It's a good neutral shoe for my kind of feet. This shoe offers good stability on the streets and on the trails. A top rated trail running shoe. Normally I go with more subdued colors, especially out in the woods, but this color combo is fun. It's colorful. Your feet stand out, but it's a slightly darker magenta color than I first feared.

I LOVE this shoe. I spent almost a year and a half trying to find a trail running shoe that felt great. This is my second pair of Brooks Cascadias and they are better than any other shoe I have ever worn. Super comfortable and the grip on the bottom sticks to the trail in both wet and dry conditions! And I adore the bright colors on this pair. The shoes can go very very long distances but can also go fast. I love them... (The only downside --more of a peculiarity -- is that these shoes creak and sometimes squeak...)

I love the Brooks Cascadia 9. Comfortable at first fit. Many compliments on the appearance of the shoes. I do not know how they will hold-up long-term, but I am totally pleased with the early performance and comfort. I highly recommend them.

I tried on several versions of Brooks trail runners along with other brands. I don't remember having a pair of Brooks since Jr. High (30 years ago). I am pleasantly surprised at how great the fit is for me - perfectly spacious toe box, in particular. I settled on this model for the middle road it takes between minimalist and classic runner.

Nice looking shoe, not exciting though. Runs small - I could use an 11.5 but they go from an 11 to a 12. Doubt I could do a 12. It's wider than the other Brooks' I tried. I like the shoe and may try it in a larger size. Disappointed nothing was a winner.

I love this shoe! I don't think it has a ton of arch support, but it is wide enough for my oddly shaped feet. The colors are fantastic and I get tons of complements around the hospital. And I am on my feet for my entire 8 hour shift, speed walking, running, standing, lifting, etc., so I need good shoes. I will buy these again in a heartbeat! My second pair of Brooks Cascadias, not sure which model my old ones were.

Amazing shoe. Can't say enough good things about it. My orthotics fit perfectly and they are good to go all day long. Wear well, made well.

Great shoes so far! Wanted something sturdy for bootcamp, hiking and running - very comfortable and good arch support!

I wear the Brooks Pure Flow as my road shoe and love them! They're an 8.5, so I purchased the same size in the Cascadia. However, I should've gone down a half size as these seem to be slightly longer in the length and slightly wider in the toe box. I personally don't like any heel slippage in my running shoes and the difference is just enough that I can feel it in the heel.

I decided to look for running shoes from a pinterest link I saw. Since I've shopped Zappos before and I knew I would get the service I want. I have not worn Brook's in the past, but now that I have I want more! The color is definitely rich and the fit is extremely comfortable for me. I have had many compliments on them and love the look myself. They look and feel good right out of the box. Light and cooler than most shoes. I have already ordered other Brook's and like them as well!

Okay, I'm just starting out. But these were comfortable all day without thinking about it. I love the colors and even my boyfriend complimented them when he saw them. I cannot tell you extreme details about my feet like some people can, I can only say whether I like a pair of shoes or not. My feet are not your feet, so you would have to judge for yourself.

Very comfortable. 4 stars because there could be a little more attention to stitching detail of a few too loose stitches, upper shoe lace fabric strip area placement, and rubber? top of outer toe area placement looks slightly different when comparing both shoes. There should be more attention to details to have better quality. I would possibly still buy again in the future.

Loved the colors and style of this shoe! Unfortunately it was very, very wide across the toe area. I think the 6.5 would be too small. Too bad!

I was able to run 6 miles with this shoes straight out of the box. Overall a well made, good looking, cushioned door-to-trail running shoes. Only thing is, even with my narrow feet, I felt that these shoes ran a tad narrow. I felt the shoe pressing up against the inside of my foot especially toward the end of my run. I've read other reviews that echoed this. So something to consider before you take these shoes out for a test run.

These are sadly not like the old Cascadias at all. After having two pairs in the last 4-5 that were wonderful, I bought these thinking they were the same. I'm not sure what they changed but I'm not a fan. The last two pairs were comfortable running with my dog, walking and even just going to the grocery store. These feel thin and kind of cheap compared to my old ones. I've only had them 4 months, worn on and off and they aren't comfortable anymore so I'm going to go back to Adrenalines and see if those are better.

Great looking shoe, lots of compliments on them. Fits true to size, extremely comfortable! Quality, not so much. Very unhappy that I just bought them three months ago and the seams are already coming out!

Have been wearing Cascadia shoes for years, and I'm frustrated with all of the changes. While the current version is fine, it is weird in the toe box, and every time I wear either pair of my current Cascadias, my toes hurt. It's as though the shoe bends right at my big toe.

I liked the style and colors of the shoe but didn't like the way it felt on my foot. I could feel the changes in material (mesh vs stiffer material) through my socks (they were thin socks) and also for me, there were several points that felt like they were digging into my foot. I really wish they got because they were actually available in a size 5.

I love these shoes as far as comfort goes. They work well with my orthotic, too. However I am not a runner but hike trails and just wear them every day. The soles of the shoe hold up real well however the mesh used in this shoe disintegrates easily especially where my foot bends before my toes. By four months they looked years old. I still wear them and they are still comfortable going on eight months but the worn shredded areas are now plain old holes!

So bummed! I had the Cascadia 7 and 8 and loved them. The 9 is totally different. After running a 10K I had blisters, ankle pain, and shin pain. Too bad they changed the design.

I have 2 other pairs of Cascadias, designs slightly different from these - colors a lot different. The 2 color combinations offered in this latest Cascadia rendition are just too "out there" for me. There's also a tighter fit across the base of the toes.
