In its long history, the Cascadia also had some less successful versions. With the big 2021 update, in my opinion, Brooks has brought a very successful trail shoe onto the market. The trail runner gets a comprehensive overall package at a reasonable price that also looks good. The Cascadia 16 is a neutral shoe, but due to its construction it still offers a lot of stability and should therefore work well even for mild overpronators. The quality of the workmanship and the upper material promises good durability and the outsole hardly shows any signs of wear after approx. 110 km. With the Cascadia 16, Brooks has designed a shoe that can do a lot of things quite well. For me personally, it would be “too much shoe” for easier trail terrain. I would prefer a model with less protection and weight that would be a little more dynamic. But if you don't want to have a lot of trail specialists in your shoe closet, the Cascadia 16 is a good choice, as it really looks great in all conditions and can also handle more technical alpine trails. I was particularly impressed by the new outsole, which worked great under all tested conditions and I couldn't find any weaknesses. Of course, there are even more cushioned specialists for very long adventures, and there are also other shoes for short, fast competitions. But you can't really blame an all-rounder for that, especially since it's not only an acceptable compromise in many areas, but really shows its strengths. One thing is clear: Brooks kept his promise with the motto “Explore any trail” printed on the heel and designed a shoe to go with it. The 16th edition of the classic should appeal to many trail runners and could become a real favorite among the new releases. For me he is already part of it.

+ Description

The BROOKS Cascadia 16 is BROOKS' flagship trail running shoe. For the 16th version, the American manufacturer has not rested on its laurels. BROOKS has launched several updates that make the Cascadia 16 (men) ready for your trail adventures.

The BROOKS Cascadia 16 (men) with a new sole structure
In its latest version, the BROOKS Cascadia 16 (men) has been given a completely new sole structure.
In the midsole, BROOKS uses the new DNA LOFT v2 material. The new foam makes it possible to give the trail shoe more cushioning material and still reduce the weight of the shoe. This means more comfort and easier running in the terrain.
And so that water is pressed out of the shoe more quickly, BROOKS uses drainage openings in the sole.

Best performance on a wide variety of surfaces
BROOKS has also revised the outsole of the Cascadia 16 (men). The lugs have been adjusted in their arrangement. This improves adaptability to rough terrain, so you can run safely. The BROOKS Cascadia 16 (men) scores points on both wet and dry surfaces. Flexible protection is provided by the Ballistic Rock Shield, which not only protects you from rocks or roots on your trails, but also increases lateral adaptability thanks to the vertical grooves.
A gaiter strap on the heel rounds off the features of the BROOKS Cascadia 16 (men).

Experience trail adventures in the BROOKS Cascadia 16 (men)
With the BROOKS Cascadia 16 (Men), the American running shoe manufacturer shows that even popular classics can be advanced with sensible and clever updates. However, BROOKS manages to retain the basic features of the trail running shoe so that fans of the Cascadia 16 (men) will continue to enjoy the shoe. And all those who rediscover the shoe will be spoiled with a successful mix of comfort, stability and dynamics for running adventures off the beaten track.
