Customer Reviews Brooks Cascadia 16

Meh, a downgrade in quality. If I realized how much lettering was on the back of the heel I would have passed on this model entirely. It is overcrowded and something I would expect to only see on a vendor sample. However my Cascadia 14s have been lovingly worn out. These are a mediocre replacement. I purchased mine from a major online and bricks/mortar retailer. And I noticed that the cream outsole had mold marks like little pimples evenly spaced around the shoe. The salmon and green color mix is beautiful, and my most favorite thing about the shoe. Hope that Brooks improves the fit and padding in future models and expands its color horizons further. I've noticed a trend @BR with more super pink - purple colors, and then a mirroring of men's shades in its shoes lathed for females. Having more color options that are not gender-neutral and don't look like they are geared for Claire's boutique is something that I personally would like to see, especially since the colors I tend to pick seem to be the ones that sell out of my size 1st.

I have a slightly narrow foot- the toe box is way too wide for me so sadly I had to return them.

I love the Cascadia 15 and purchased the 16 as a replacement. The shoe is just not the same, they are larger, the fabric is stiff and uncomfortable and the shoe laces don't stay tied. I only own Brooks for both road and trail and rotate, so I own quite a few pairs. I want to love these but may try other brands to find something that is comparable to the Cascadia 15.

Upgraded my old pair of cascadia?s after I literally ran the tread off my last pair. The new design seems much bigger in the toe box? it makes me feel like my foot will slide around more.

I've been running in Cascadia's for several years, but these new ones seem different. They felt extra stiff and hard to break in. The toe box is different and I got blisters on both big toes every time I ran more than a few miles in them. After using them for just a month I can't run in them anymore. I wish they were more like the older models.

Took these out for a hard trail run/hike out to El Cajone Mt in SoCal. They performed great...the grip and rock plate was perfect for the conditions. Generally comfortable shoe except for the toe box. It's not wide enough so it pushed in on the outside of my big toe and rubbed on top of my little toe. Disappointing because otherwise I really liked these.

I've been running in Cascadias for years, but got my first ever case of plantars while using this model. I didn't change anything about my routine, ran the same distance on the same trails for weeks. It just randomly appeared one day. I struggled with it for months, even taking time off to heal, but as soon as I started running again, it would come right back. I stumbled upon some reviews saying that this model caused or aggravated their plantars, so decided to change shoes. Within weeks of switching to the Caldera, my foot pain was completely gone, with no adjustment to my routine. It seems like something about this specific model did not agree with my feet. It didn't feel much different on than the previous model, but whether it caused plantars or not, it definitely didn't help. If you find yourself having foot pain in these, they may be the cause.

This may be a fine shoe for some but not what I needed. It's simply a running shoe with deeper treads - I was looking for a sturdier shoe that would give assurance on rugged trails. Also, for some reason my feet don't seem to sit in the proper place in the shoes, something I've never experienced before. So despite these having deep soles under the arches, my feet tend to roll inward - something I don't need as an overpronator.

I've been running with Ghost 13 and absolutely love them, so when I started trail running and hiking, I bought the Cascadia but was a bit disappointed. Like others have mentioned - and I suspect it could be us with slim feet (I use Ghost narrow 2A which fits me perfectly) - I also have issues with sloppy heel and generally just doesn't have that snug fit that I love so much about my Ghosts. Also, there's something weird going on in the toe box - although I have a size larger than my usual shoe size, the Cascadia leaves holes in my sox on the big toe and I've already ruined some of my favorite wool socks. Unless I start taping over my toes on the sox, these shoes will cost me the worth of sox far behind the cost of the actual shoe. Other than the sloppy feel and ruined sox, I haven't had any blisters or ankle/knee pains, to that's great at least. But I wish there was a narrow model that would have a better fit.

I get the same size every year. This year the 2022 was roomier in the toe box so much that I couldn't zip it up. My foor sloshed around at the toe and I almost rolled my ankle. I eneded up getting a different brand. Dang it.

Unfortunately these did not work for me. I really liked the style, except they did not fit my feet right and made them hurt. I wear a size 12 and they felt a bit small. My other pair of brooks are 13 and fit great.

I had high hopes for these shoes, my sister recommended me Brooks. I was looking for a pair to wear for long days of walking such as for Disneyland days. I liked the style for this shoe and unique color selection. Unfortunately, they were extremely painful on my heel and overall the entirety of my feet. I tried to give them a chance wearing them twice to Disneyland hoping I'd break them in, but they kept on making my feet hurt just after maybe 3-4 hours of wearing them. By the end of the day my feet hurt the same or more as when I'd wear normal sneakers (Nike, or Adidas). I ended up returning them upon the 90 days return policy. Maybe I just chose a wrong shoe style, if anyone could recommend a style than would be comfortable for an all day wear I'd appreciate it. I have been looking up other shoe brands such as On-Running but haven't decided on any other.

I have been wearing Brooks Cascadias for many years. I'm not thrilled with this iteration. They just don't feel as secure or as nimble as previous versions. I get a lot of lateral movement in these and can't seem to lock them down without cutting off my circulation. I just don't feel as confident on technical trails in these as I did in the 15 and preceding models. There are too many things that changed at once for me to precisely identify my complaint about them. I really don't like the bulbous toe.

They are stiffer than I would like. Also a bit tight fit.

I found the shoes to be lacking in several areas . For example it has a small tongue. If i use the last eyelet then the laces touch my foot. I keep trying to pull on it to no avail. Extra padding at the heel but not much on the sole of the foot.

The tags are on the tongue of the shoe and rubbed a blister on foot
