Customer Reviews Brooks Caldera 6

Loving them for warm weather walking/hiking on the trails!

I loved it, very lightweight and comfortable and it didn't hurt my feet or legs when I run

I love the shoe and the price! Excellent comfort for daily exercise walking & trail walking on the weekends. The shoe does not collect debris on the sole on the trail which is really nice. I have had other brands of walking shoes, and this is far superior. I want to buy another pair and keep it for backup!

The cushioned support is amazing. It really is ready for any trail shifting smoothly. I'd give it a 10

Surprisingly a really good shoe for trail.. especially for someone who just had double hip surgery.

These shoes are amazingly comfortable light weight and have great support I purchased them for a 180 mile walking trip I am training for I love brooks shoes and the Caldera 6 are my new favorites!

When i initally purchased these, i had no expectations as i already had 2 pair of Adrenaline GTS and was content. I was pleasantly surprised! These are my new favs!! I love the extra cushion support. They feel like shock absorbers. Great grip on different terrain. I am thoroughly satisfied w my purchase!!

This shoe performs really well on the trail or the road and in wet or slippery conditions. Very comfortable ride and they look great. Shoe also has attachments for running gaiters which can be super handy.

I'm not a runner, but I do a lot of walking. Was dealing with some heel pain, but this shoe is so cushioned it feels like I'm walking on pillows.

I bought these for both road and trail running/hiking and they are perfect. Cushiony and springy when I run and secure enough for trail. The fit is great, very comfy and good looking pair of shoes.

I'm an avid trail runner that loves rocky technical terrain. Problem was I could quite find a shoe that performed well and was comfortable. Tried multiple brands then I found Brooks. Started with the Cascadia (3 pairs!) then the Catamount. Both are awesome shoes with awesome specs, but I needed something that would take me the long comfortable distance. Here she is...Caldera 6. I wanted to try this version first even though the 7 was already out. Usually, the version prior offer something that the newer version doesn't have and vice versa. The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was how rad they looked. The lacing system look secure, then cushion was MAX, and the was the body hugged my feet was secure but not too tight. It took a little of trial and error to get the lacing down pat but when I finally dialed it in, man was I in heaven running those peaks. These are my go-to trail runners for long tech trail runs with rocky terrain. I can't wait to try the 7's now. Brooks, you're my GO TO shoe brand!

Love the stack, wider base, cushion, and durability. I do wish they had a bit wider toe box as it allows much more space for my forefoot and toes to be comfortable for the long haul as well as for me to add my mandatory full length arch insoles. This is my second pair (black and dark blue soles). I really wanted to try the new 7s which sound great, but the light colors and soles just look awful after just one trail run. Please add some darker colors to your trail shoes. Please??

I'm standing on concrete all day and these shoes are so comfortable.

I really like the stability and comfort of it! I was previously using ON cloud monster, and had been using the brand for 4 years, but after the cloudmonster i developed excruciating plantar fasciitis on my right foot but never associated it to the shoe. I bought brooks caldera 6 because my shoe was already kind on beat up in 6-8 months . Its been a little over a month now with the caldera and my plantar fasciitis DISAPPEARED! So yea, I LOVE IT

I was due for a new pair of trail running shoes. I have been wearing the Catamount 1 (at least 5 pairs since they first came out). Love those... except I wished they were a little more cushy. I was about to try the Catamount 2 when I saw the Caldera 6 ... What attracted me to them was the wide platform... especially along the outside edges... When I trip,, I tend to trip sideways... having the sole stick out past the shoe on the outside edge seemed like it would be helpful. So I ordered a pair. LOVE THEM. They do keep me upright and the cushioning is heaven to my knees. For reference, I hike on pretty aggressive trails - uneven, hills, rocks, fallen trees and debris.

I stand on my feet for 8 hours a day and usually do approximately 10,000 steps. These shoes have been helpful with tired feet. I also use them for hiking. I rotate my shoes frequently and have several name brand shoes that are recommended by others. I was pleased with these shoes and will purchase similar types in the future. I like the wide base on these shoes as I believe they have more benefits for long standing than other types. My ankles have a tendency to roll and the bottoms seem to help prevent that from happening.

The most comfortable shoes I've had so far. Nike were good, but after a few wears, they'd start squeaking for some reason. And they couldn't save my feet when I had 10+ hour work days. These are so perfect. If it wasn't for the extra height, I'd forget I'm wearing them.

Love the fit, roomy toe box, snug on the heel; great thick cushion without being sloppy or slow; love the springy rock plate and the energetic snap. And dig the colors.

Phenominal comfort and support! The spring is unbelievable.

I can't run in my shoes I've had a couple of back surgeries but they are so comfortable to walk in all day.

I wear these hiking on rocky trails, to the gym and around town. They fit me well, good cushion and comfort all day. My feet are narrow but M width works in these.

I love my Calderas! I am a surgical assistant and am constantly on my feet. My feet and legs tend to hurt at the end of the day(there is no getting around that) but these shoes minimize it the most then any other shoe. They are true to size. My only compliant would be they make my vaguely feet stinky. I don't tend to have stinky feet and I haven't had stinky feet from the other running shoes I have tried. I think they may not ventilate that well. Once I have my socks and shoes off, they seem to air out quickly and I am not burning my nose with these dogs(: I have recommended them to my coworkers and get a good amount of compliments on them.

Great shoe for the trails! Feels great and looking forward to longer runs in these!

I have been a fan of brooks sneakers for some time. I brought these because I wanted to try the foam cushion. I had been wearing ghost 15. I work long twelve hour shifts and brooks are the only shoes that help my legs and back from cramping and lasting the whole shift. They are excellent running shoes too that help to eliminate shin splints and calf cramps.

I just bought these as the pair of Ghosts I have had for over 5 years finally needed replaced! I havent ran on trails yet, but pavement has worked out well. I liked that these seem to be a nice trail/pavement hybrid. Im a casual jogger/runner, but these shoes are great so far. roomy toe box, conformed to my foot nicely.
