Customer Reviews Brooks Cascadia 18

These are outstanding trail shoes; durable, safe and comfortable. I've worn my current pair for a 600 mile Camino in Spain and at least 400 additional miles since then on trails and they are just showing some minor tread wear and ankle padding fraying. At 1,000 miles of varied hiking conditions they're still in overall good shape and I'm still wearing them for about 70 miles a week still. I've had no blisters and they have great traction and stability.

Great shoes, They are my go to shoes. I rotate between two pairs.

Comfortable shoe, great color way. They look great and I liked them But I just couldn't see paying that much for them.

Very well-rounded shoe. Extremely comfortable. As soon as I put it on I had felt like I was wearing a pair of my Ghosts 15. At first, there were some sliding issues, but those were solved once I tightened my laces. After that, I don't really have any complaints. It's nice to have a trail shoe that mimics the form you are used to when road running. I felt very stable when running down mountainous terrain. One thing I've noticed, I can feel the grip slip on certain types of rocky terrain.

I used to ultra run, but now I'm relegated to walking and backpacking and these shoes are great for any and all. Probably my favorite part of these shoes are the grip and stability. Had no problems on 6-15 mile hikes with weight.

Fit great with plenty of toe space. Wouldn't mind a little more cushion but otherwise great shoe for the road and trail.

Very stable footing on gravel road base and on decomposed rock or vegetative soils. Finally a lace that's just right; not too slinky/ slippery or too stiff. Loop style top eyelets make tying the laces easier and kind of self adjusting after you tie the knot and tuck the loops under the elastic sewn into the tongue. Mine (2 pairs) took about 10-15 miles to break into my heels and now form a nice pocket to secure the fit on my foot. Length is very "Brooks-sizing" throughout their product line the 25 years I've exclusively bought this shoe brand. Broad toe box combined with a EE width is perfect match for my 65 year old feet. Comfortable cushion without being squishy soft. Removable foam-based insole permits installing my podiatrist's orthopedic arch support but candidly the shoes work pretty well even without them! Brooks hit this one out of the park! I'm even considering buying a backup 2 more pairs while my length&width size is a available...

So far I have done three 15+ mile hikes in the German/Austrian alps. I am very impressed with how well the Cascadia 18's handle sharp rocks on the trail. They are also way lighter than traditional hiking boots. My only minor issue is that the laces seem to stretch a little after I get going. Comfort is very good after adjusting the laces.

This is my first trail shoe, and I love it! It handles rough terrain very well.

Boyfriend loves them! Bit on the heavier side he got a little too excited and thought he could run..fell but got back up and been cruising ever since. Haha. These shoes feel like you're walking on air. Comfortable and supportive! Worth every penny!

I bought these for my son in a wide for his upcoming half marathon near Moab. He likes them. I run in nothing but Brooks - Cascadia for trail, Ghost for the roads. Best shoe for me and hope my son feels the same. Wish you would off more colors in wide.

So far, so good. Wore them on Backcountry Rise 50K in August and they performed well. Fit feels similar to the Cascadia 17's which I've been wearing and been really happy with. As an older trail runner (60) the weight of the shoe is offset by the support and stability this shoe provides.

The older I get the more I realize the importance of your feet comfort. I have tried all the top brands, looking for something better, I always end up back with the brooks cascadia. I will no longer look for something better, these are the shoes that give me everything I need, my forever shoe.

I have used many brands of a running/Trail sneaker and as I get older I feel Brooks are the best choice. Very easy break in. And what I love most is very comfortable toe box. Width seems to be right on also.

I was looking for a more trail worthy version of Adrenaline, which are a great fit for me. The support and stability meet expectations; the fit is good, but not quite as ideal, a bit roomier.

I like colorful wide double E shoes 9 and 1/2 or 10 I have to be colorful have a hard time finding double E shoes especially the nice colorful ones I want I want some black and yellow ones They had a little bit of orange in them but no you didn't have them in double wide Well that's what I want

Very comfortable for my foot type. Recommended by my podiatrist. I think there is opportunity to have more different color combos.

First of all, I love these shoes. And have worn them on and off for about 6 years now so good job! I have two suggestions. My first suggestion is to add one to two inches of lace. When using all the lacing holes I barely have enough lace to tie. The second suggestion is to perhaps change the type of lacing. The laces do not stay tied well at all unless I double knot the laces. This is an observation that I also had from a previous model of the cascade as well.

I love my shoes, the traction on any surface is great, better than any shoe I've previously owned. They are comfy and I wear them all the time.

1st pair of Brooks. Really enjoying them

Its a great shoe!!!! I have worn the Cascadia since it was made years ago. I have tried others, but always go back to the Cascadia. Whether you are in the trail or the road, it gets the job done! I am a Physical Educator that wears them daily and I highly recommend them!!!

I love the trail shoe (good traction and cushioning,) but I find it amazing that you don't make it in 4E, which I need.

Ive been loving my Brooks Cascadia 18ssuper comfortable and tough enough for any trail I throw at them. Great grip, solid support, and no discomfort.

Shoes were really comfortable....at first. After a month the fabric inside the shoe wore down exposing a sharp piece of plastic that cut into my foot near the heel. Do not recommend.
