Customer Reviews Brooks Caldera 3

I did not use these for trail running. I Ruck (hike and workout with a heavy backpack on) and they did great. They will come off if you're marching to close to someone or through some obstacles, just an FYI. They dry out quickly through wet terrain.

Love these shoes. Great for hiking and walking and trail running.

My fiance loved the shoe! Great fit and comfort, and excellent traction for running on the trails.

I have not had the opportunity to put many miles on the Caldera 4 shoes to date, but initially, they are very comfortable.

Awesome shoes! After getting a cramp in my left calf muscle, I started using Brooks to ease back into running. They've been greatboth on the road and off. Highly recommend.

Great trail running shoe. Always a fan of brooks will buy a pair again next outdoor running season!

I love these shoes because they grip the wet Florida streets when I am on them. I can run, walk, jog anywhere with confidence. They look and feel great too.

I had Caldera 2 and loved them. These are even better!!! I bought a pair for my son too and he loves them as well.

These are my first Brooks shoes and I love them. Super comfortable for running, or just hanging around. They been great for running on the road or in the woods. I love the grippy bottoms, they make running/walking on rough terrain feel safe. I would recommend!

First, let me say that Brooks is the only walking/running shoe that I can wear comfortably for long walks. I am 68 years old and must have the right shoe. I walk 2+ miles a day on pasture land which is like trail walking. I ordered 3 different Brooks Trail shoes, Divide, Caldera 3, and Cascadia. I haven't tried the Divide yet, I switch between the Caldera 3 and the Cascadia. I bought the waterproof version of the Cascadia and it is definitely waterproof. I wear them when the ground is wet. I am walking in wet grass and the Cascadia keeps my feet dry. The Caldera 3 is my favorite for walking on dry grass. The Caldera 3 has a softer footbed and feels so good to my feet. They are so comfortable that I usually keep them on after I complete my exercise. They are lightweight and feel more like a running shoe than a trail shoe. Before ordering any of the shoes, I talked with a Brooks representative who recommended the trail shoes for me. I was hesitant about purchasing for everyday exercise and was pleasantly surprised when I received them. All three pair are lightweight and comfortable. Do not hesitate to purchase Brooks trail shoes for walking/running on dirt/grass terrain.

I love these shoes! They are super comfy with good arch support. They took no time to break in, but after about two weeks of wear, they've started to squeak a bit. Not a deal breaker just kind of annoying. They are super grippy. I usually wear a pretty consistent size 8.5 and I ordered a 9 in these.

Love love love the caldera 3. I have been running trails nearby with renewed enthusiasm. The shoes offer great support and traction. They fit perfect right out of the box.

The most comfortable shoes I've found since they discontinued the easy spirit get up and go. I'm a 12 hour nurse with arthritis in my feet.

Love these! I am just starting out and these are the best shoes! Love the cushion and responsiveness.

I run easy trails, consisting of gravel and dirt, with little incline/decline. Some of the gravel portions are loose and large, and I run in inclement weather. The do really well on the trail and the rare portions of pavement that I come across - they have good grip and cushion. Also, I have high arches, tend to bare weight on the mid or fore foot, and have metatarsal pain. I have long, wide splaying toes, and the toe box suits them well. They provide more cushion in the forefoot, and the 4 mm puts me in a better landing position. I'm 40 yo, run twice a week, about 3 miles to 10 miles each time. I would definitely recommend.

So comfortable right out of the box. Took them on a 7 mile hike the first day. Ample toe box and great support! Thank you, Brooks!
