Designed from the ground up, the Cascadia 7 defines what a trail shoe should be: rugged without sacrificing runnability. Infused with Brooks technology and a bit of insight from ultrarunner Scott Jurek, this amazing piece of equipment features an asymmetric upper that anatomically wraps the foot with conforming materials, a ballistic rock shield and toe protector for dicey terrain, and four-point pivot posts that act like a suspension system for your feet. Top it off with an intuitive lug pattern and this trailblazer is ready to tackle even the toughest terrain.
Please note: The Cascadia is intended as a trail running shoe. It is not pack-rated and may not hold up to the extra weight and demands of long pack hikes. We’re your go-to option for trail runs, but a sturdy hiking boot would be better suited for the Pacific Crest Trail, Appalachian Trail, or other long pack trips.

These shoes came in 2 days before a 50-K trail run. Knowing you don't ever wear shoes right out of the box for a race, I decided to wear these anyway because my old Cascadias were ready for retirement, having run a 50-mile, 50-K and numerous training runs up to 30 miles. I did this because my last 2 pairs of Cascadias were problem free from the start so I had confidence. These are the best rendition of the shoe ever. I life the way the laces follow the curve of your foot. These are the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. The 50-K I did had rugged limestone outcroppings, pavement, loose flint rocks, hard clay surface and deep mud, and these shoes handled all of it. I was one of the few who did not go down in the mud. After the race I had no foot issues, no blisters, no black toes despite being undertrained for the race. Hats off to Brooks for another classic! One issue I have with all Brooks shoes is the laces like to come undone but you can solve this by double knotting.

For years I aspired to run with Cascadias, as my trail running friends raved about them, but they didn't fit me due to my 2E wide foot. Finally, the Cascadia 6s came out with a wide toe box and I got my first pair. I loved them for their durable design, good grip, excellent support, protection from rough terrain and good moisture management in wet conditions.
When my 6s reached their end (worn down grip), I picked up the brand new 7s, but was disappointed after my first long Sunday run. It was a rainy day and the grip on wet rocks and branches was noticeably inferior to the 6s. Even worse on the pavement between trails! The grip didn't improve over time. Also, as I wore them longer, they seemed to get narrower with the curved shape and now I get a baby toe blister on pretty much every run - on my smaller foot.
There are some pros such as a protective box, stable feel and good moisture management.
My advice for people living on the rainy coast; or somebody with a wider foot - get the Cascadia 6s while you can.

Wish thy came in more stylish color options. 4 point pivot system is unreal and really helps me deal with irregular surfaces on a trail. Very light and supple. Very rugged. Breathes well.

Will use for trail running, hiking, and running in poor weather. Overall, a nice shoe for those things, but I'll stick to my normal running shoes for my distance and speed work-outs.

The shoe fits true to size. Excellent tracking on the trails. I over pronate and find the shoe stable and well cushioned. Only down side is they do not work as well on pavement, but that isn't why I purchased them. I have a short run on pavement before I hit the trails and can tell a difference. I really like the offset laces and the tongue control on the shoe.
Great shoe at a great price. Brooks got this shoe right.

I bought these for an every day outdoors shoe that will take a beating. They are comfortable and durable. I have wanted these for a while and so far they have exceeded expectations. I have some issues with my right foot, that make them a little narrow, but other than that, it is a great shoe!

Have enjoyed the Pure Flows a lot and was looking for another great shoe but this time for the trails. Fit is just as comfortable as my Flows, which is a big plus. My feet in the forefoot are more on the wide side and with an average heel size, and these acomodate them well. Have used them a lot for trail use and they have been great. Also wear them for daily use when they are not covered in mud and have been just as comfortable as my other Brooks. The only suggestion that I would have for Brooks is to make another version with the option of Gortex for the winter and rainy seasons, I would be the first in line for that version! My feet thank you for another great shoe!

I really like these shoes. I run almost exclusively on the trails in the woods with lots of gravel, stumps, and rocks. I hardly ever feel any bad trail effects, the shoes are stable, and light. My first pair lasted about 18 mos of roughly 15 miles/week (hey, I am not a high milage runner!). The first pair is still functional, although the tread is wearing down. The upper still looks close to new though. I am sold on the Cascadia line. Now that I have the grey/orange pair, my wife is so much happier as the first pair is neon green and she hates that. LOL.

I have been a cascadia runner since version 2. Each new version is better. seems like someone at Brooks r&d is on it. I just purchased my 3rd pair of Cascadia 7's. I only run off road and most often in the mud here in the pacific NW. Great traction keeps me upright, solid cushioning keeps my 48 yr 'ol bones form rattling. Cheers Brooks!

Training for my first trail marathon in this shoe and it has been great. I end up running on hardpack, rocky trails and sand and it is great. I tend to overpronate and haven't had any problems in this shoe.
