Customer Reviews Brooks Cascadia 14 GTX

These things are a godsend. Perfect for snowy mornings when the plows haven't come by or when there's residual snow and slush puddles on the road. I personally found the traction to be better with these vs. running with YakTraks spikes on my regular road sneakers. Feet stayed bone dry throughout thanks to the gortex. I usually size up from my 9.5 shoe for running sneakers. I got a size 10.0 in these which fit perfectly while leaving a little room in toe box.

At first was nervous as the shoe felt stiff (gortex?), but the shoe is comfortable during runs. Would recommend it for a good trail shoe...I use my Levitate 2 LE for road or treadmill.

Definately comfortable shoes, I had a hard and long adjustment period from my last shoes. They are also very hot and do not breathe because they are waterproof. Other than that, they have great cushioning and traction and my feet did not get wet while running through puddles and in the rain.

Love the shoes. A great basic shoe. No frills just comfort and amazing traction. You don't fancy pants stuff only great quality shoes. Goretex works well till water gets in then they hold water like a bucket. It's a double edged sword but over all they work well. Love the lace pocket on the tongue.

I love these shoes. I am a city mail carrier and average about 20,000 steps a day. These shoes fill amazing. I ordered men's for added room and width, I have wide feet. Love them so far.

Like the fit and look, the fact that they come in size 15

Zero complaints, as expected. I've yet to be disappointed by a pair of Brooks.

Love the shoes!!!Just wore them for the first time out of the box yesterday near Red Lodge, MT on a 28 mile single day thru hike... google "the beaten path"... thanks to you folks at Brooks, no blisters, bruises, or hot spots and trust me, it was your shoes that made this hike happen!!! Cheers! Jeff

Perfect shoe for me! I had knee and shin problems from pervious (and expensive) trail runners that, while being a comfortable fit, were less "technical" than the Cascadia 14's and didn't provide the stability that I needed for long trail hikes. The GTX's are my second pair of Cascadia 14's. My original pair was of the non-GTX variety and I had worn a hole through the topside of the right shoe because that's what my big toe does to all shoes (this was after about nine months). So, I bought the GTX's to see if the GORE-TEX membrane (which provides the waterproofing capability) would provide an additional layer to prevent my toe from poking through, lol. I wasn't necessarily interested in the waterproof feature, but I'll take it as a bonus (one caution is that the waterproof shoes, while keeping your feet dry from outside moisture, do not breathe as well as the non-GTX's and your feet tend to sweat more as a result). So far, so good for my as far as wear on the uppers. My experiment appears to be working! The surprise for me is that my new pair of GTX's seem to be more comfortable than the mon-GTX version. In fact, these are the most stable and comfortable trail runners that I have ever worn on the trail. Very happy with this product.

I just returned from a week in Colorado and am so glad that I purchased this pair of Cascadia 14 GTX for the trip! Great traction and kept my feet dry on the trails and streams.

Comfortable shoe and they really kept my feet from getting wet. I had to buy another pair.

I've been using these to go trail running on mountain biking trails, they handle mud and puddles very well, I recommend paying the extra money for the water proof feature, you avoid sogginess and after a couple minutes it's like your foot was never wet. The traction helps for different conditions and I have not slipped as much as I would have with my more general running shoes. At first the shoes feel very extra tall but you get used to it.

A great trail running shoe! Comfortable fit and a sturdy shoe that holds up to the elements. I have run in sugar sand, waist high weeds, water, and more and these stand up great! Love the return they give me from their sturdy traction! A great shoe for running trails!

The shoes feel great. They eliminated my foot pain. I continue to purchase Cascadia.

a durable, all-round shoe. i'm old and slow. i just need something comfortable on an easy trail.

I was impressed with an older model of the Cascadia so decided to get another pair when they finally wore out. This time upgraded to the Gortex model. So far incredibly impressed. I use these for both trail running and hiking off trail. Love the waterproof aspect, used them quite a few times in the snow. Take micro spikes well. Stable, comfortable, and just rigid enough in the sole to protect from rocks, etc. I am a podiatrist as well as teaching mountaineering and highly recommend Brooks brand and these shoes in particular.

The Cascadia 14 is a brilliant trail shoe, providing sure fitting over variegated terrain: grass, gravel, sand, and rough pavement. Like all of Brooks' best shoes, it cannot be beat for fit and quality.

This shoe is very comfortable and supportive so far. I am a bigger guy and this has been a very comfortable shoe to the trails in.

I love them!! I run at least 15 miles a day and these make it easy. Great waterproof

Excellent winter running shoe for northern VT. Quite stable and warm. Finally, a winter with warmer and drier feet.

After a departure last year due to construction quality, the 14 returns to the prominence models 1-12 exhibited, with outstanding upgrades such as weight reduction and outsole flexibility. Great, fit, feel, traction and comfort. Dryness is solid. These are great shoes that can be depended on in Wisconsin winters.
