Running shoes Brooks CASCADIA 18

The Brooks Cascadia 18 is an all-terrain trail running shoe designed for everyday training, long-distance runs, and hiking on light to moderate technical terrain. Best suited for runners who prioritize stability and comfort over speed, particularly heel strikers tackling distances from daily training runs to ultramarathons.

The shoe features DNA Loft v2 midsole foam offering soft, plush cushioning with reliable stability. The Trail Adapt system integrates a plastic rock plate for protection while maintaining torsional flexibility. TrailTack Green rubber outsole with 4mm chevron-pattern lugs provides solid traction across varied terrain including loose dirt, gravel, and light mud. The breathable engineered mesh upper includes protective overlays in high-wear zones, a gusseted tongue to keep out debris, and a protective toe bumper. The heel counter is notably stiff, designed specifically for heel strikers.

Weight is 326g in EU 44, with a stack height of 33mm heel and 25mm forefoot, and an 8mm drop.
