perfect! fits great and so comfy…..I ordered wide. I sized up half a size like all other brooks and fit is just fine.

Compared to the Brooks Cascadia 15, this shoe is slightly wider and the midsole is slightly softer. It’s a comfy cushy bouncy shoe. I have narrow heels but wide toes with bunions, so I typically order a size wide to accommodate my toes and crank down the laces to keep my heels locked in. Compared to the Cascadia 15’s of the same size and width, these are slightly wider and little sloppy in the heel/midfoot area, but still comfortable. The length runs a little shorter than other brands but consistent with other Brooks shoes I’ve owned. They still feel stable even though they no longer have the “pivot posts”. Overall I’d give it 4.5/5, less 0.5 since the midfoot is a bit sloppy.

I have worn Brooks Cascadia for 2 decades as a trail runner. You know you have found your shoe when you can put them on new and do a 5 mile run in well worn comfort! They are super cute – have already gotten compliments – I just wish they would break out of the tendency to create gender based color schemes. I would have preferred the Cascadia 16 choices they had for MEN!! But other than that – they are such a solid shoe for technical trail running and Zappos is an easy, reliable, efficient way to order!

The cascadia 16 feels longer and is wider in the toe box and mid foot : not as comfortable as the cascadia 15. I had to return them.

First: I trail run 35 miles a week in the Rockies and race half marathons or longer. I’m not buying these for mall-walking. I’ve put about 5,000 actual miles on the Cascadia line.
I’ve been loyal to Brooks for more than a decade. The soles are a beast and will really protect you on loose rock or ice, but every new release is just adding more and more upper problems. The 15 was tolerable, but the Cascadia 16 has this bizarre laminate crease right where the toe knuckles sit. It’s folding then snapping back with a noticeable scrape. The foot feel is like a pinching patent leather dress flat.
I think I’m done with Brooks. Their design department is just getting sloppy. They don’t know or listen to their market anymore, and I’m not wasting time on a shoe that’s going to cause bunions. They need to decide if they’re a mall fashion brand or actually want to appeal to competitive runners.

I tried on multiple trail running shoes at a local store (including the most popular brands) and found this shoe to be head and shoulders above all of them. They are supportive yet have cushion, moderately lightweight. I would have bought these in the store but they only had black and the “olive” color but the aqua color is the best of the three. I wore them on a 5 mile trail right out of the box. They were a little stiff the first few miles but other than that no extensive break in needed. Great traction, on the larger rocks, and so far no slippage on looser gravel. I believe I need gators so less dirt & small gravel enter the shoe. I wish they were in water proof.

surprised how snug the heel was, and raised so that my foot slid forward into the ample toebox, where the mesh top felt flimsy. Sad to return because I loved the exterior colors and design. Then I was glad to discover Hoka!

I’m literally jumping for joy here, because Cascadias are back!
Cascadias have always been MY shoe. I like the trailrunner tread, the bright colors, the supportive feel, and the just-enough cushion.
I have owned at least 6 pairs of Cascadias, but my last pair before this was disappointing. I skipped a few generations and strayed to other brands/models. I struggled continuously with these other brands and models!
I finally picked these up again and they’re back. Lots of toe room for wide toe boxes (not the same as wide feet), lots of supportive stitching, and lots of love in the colors and design.
If you are like me and DO NOT like the sock trend in running shoes today, give these a try!

These shoes are perfect for light hiking!

These are super cute in the basil/duffel bag/coral colorway, but they don’t seem to fit well in the heel area. With every step my heel slips up and down. I’ve tried locking them in place by tying them differently but that only hurts the top of my feet, also I have starting getting a mysterious pain around my achilles on my left foot….I’m a bit frustrated as I can’t seem to find a good pair of shoes that fit and have a decent colorway that suits my preferences. Back to the drawing board….

I love these shoes. I wear the Adrenaline for street and treadmill jogging. For trails, I needed a shoe with a sole that has more grab. My pronation and odd feet (one narrowish one not so much) have made finding good comfortable running shoes tricky. I have had great success with Adrenaline and I would be able to stick with this brand. The Cascadias fit the bill and I couldn’t be happier. They are stylish, rugged, my orthotics fit in them and I haven’t slipped yet. I love them so much that I have tried to wear them around town yet the soles squeak, so I have reserved them for my nature hikes.

These are great shoes for people who need a wide toe box. I really am pleased with them.

With Brooks, I always order a 1/2 size up (I’m an 8, so I order an 81/2). The fit is of this shoe is perfect. And I Iove the green color; it has that vintage vibe that I like. But most importantly, the Cascadia 16 feels great on the trail , really nice cushioning from rocks/roots, very stable ride, and with a very light feel on your feet.

so perfect for me; beautiful fit and support; lightweight but great traction. recommended to my mom and she loves hers as well! (now to find the same shoe for pavement running)

perfect all around!

I’m not a runner but I bought these because I spend a lot of my time walking around outside with dogs and my old sneakers were really worn down. These were immediately comfy and fit perfectly. They feel springy and soft when I walk on them and have great grip on the bottom. My only drawback is that my feet feel a little hot in them but my feet generally get hot in shoes quickly, so might just be a me-problem.

Love the wife toe box (way more space than any other athletic trainer I’ve owned), good arch support, great style. I have yet to wear them outside. This is my first impression.
Bill –
As stated, shoes are excellent!

Love Brooks. I use them for walking and everyday, not running. I like the reinforced toe that some other models lack. Nice tread depth.

Comfortable our of the box

Comfortable right from the first time I wore them, would definitely recommend and would buy them again
Sharron –
They are very comfortable. Can be worn all day. Good support. Brooks look great too. This is my fourth pair of Brooks Cascadia. When I broke a couple of bones in my foot this was the only shoe I could wear comfortably. That’s how supportive they are.

These shoes are a good, comfortable fit from the start. They are stable for jogging over rocks and roots, and relatively steep and rough terrain. My feet and ankles feel secure and comfortable. It was exactly the type of shoe I was looking for. I am not a competitive runner, but do it for the pleasure (and exercise) of running. I am in my early 70’s and would recommend them to anyone. I will point out that this shoe fit me at a half size larger (7.5) than my usual size 7.

After trying several other trail shoes, these were the best fit and feel very supportive without being stiff or heavy.

These fit my daughter perfectly with the first order. I often have to return things to get just the right size. She absolutely loves them and is using them for school gym and for cross country running.
