Customer Reviews Brooks Cascadia 17

Love the color and the fit. I have been wearing Cascadia 16 so always a bit nervous when the new model is out. Cascadia 17 very comfortable, only issue is the navy/purple pair has really short laces. The black and white limited edition has regular size laces, not sure why the navy pair is short/too short.

My mom lives with multiple health problems that limit her mobility. Her podiatrist highly reccomended Brooks to support her and stabalize her in her day to day life. Despite her health problems, she lives an incredibly active lifestyle, leading educational organizations, running her own business, and planning her next weekend adventure. To help her keep going, I buy her a new pair of Brooks every 8 months to a year. The Brooks running quiz has assisted us both A LOT in finding a shoe that will support her comfortably without the hassle of going into stores and trying on multiple pairs. Lately, since her adventures have lead her to more outdoor places, I've looked more into the Trail-side of Brooks shoes. Wow! What a difference! We spent a weekend over in Crystal River and I asked her midday how she felt, and how the shoes felt. She said she forgot she had them on. That she was able to go anywhere she wanted to and felt comfortable doing so. The Brooks Cascadia look like a tank, but ride like a Mercedes. I think the only think we would change is the coloring. There's nothing wrong with fun bright colors, but they're harder to pair with daily outfits. Some traditional solid colors would be delightful.

Love the pattern and style of this shoe. Please make more of cool styles that we can wear with regular clothing!!!! I have small ankles and feet for a tall 5'8" woman and these hold me in. I run (or jog) on very treacherous, hilly, too many roots and rocky trails. I've never twisted my ankles in Cascadia. I've twisted my ankles and broke one in two places wearing other brands. I'm buying another pair of this combat style (black and white) to wear with street clothes. I've been a runner for like 40 years and keep coming back to Brooks.

LOVE these! They are the right amount of cushion and spring for the rocky trails I run and they fit my narrow feet beautifully. A new favorite!

This holds my foot perfectly. Funky colors , I stand long hours...

Actually bought these for walking/hiking and so far they do not disappoint!

I love my Cascadias. I have both the waterproof and the regular. We have rugged tails that we hike in our area. I don't feel the rocks through the souls and I have great traction for the loose stuff on downhills. I've always worn hiking boots, but now I'm hooked on my Cascadias.

so comfortable and supportive right out of the box.

I ready like this shoe. It's nice to look at and I like the way they feel on my feet.

Sadly Brooks is cutting corners on shoelaces again. These are about 1 1/2 inches shorter than Cascadia 16 shoe laces meaning that it's quite difficult to do a good knot for hiking with these shoes. The color is darling and I don't want you to send me generic laces to appease me. Brooks- please make the shoeslaces long enough like you used to! The laces again are a bit slippery so they need a knot for hikes.

They seem a little wider than my last pair so I'm not as happy with them

It's a bit flat-footed compared to my standard Ghost, and had to put in a heel insert, but I love the waterproof feature this time of year. Impressed that it seems to breathe while being waterproof.
