Brooks Women's Cascadia 16

Our View – Brooks Women’s Cascadia 16:

Trusted and loved by so many trail runners the Brooks Cascadia is an icon amongst trail running shoes and the latest version has been updated to provide a smoother, lighter feel.

With an enhanced fit and flexible protection for increased adaptability on multi-terrain surfaces the Cascadia 16 utilises a new midsole and outsole construction that allows the shoe to mould to the ground for an enhanced feel and stability. Together with more release grooves in the midsole to promote extra adaptability on rough terrain the TrailTack rubber outsole provides excellent traction in wet and dry conditions.

The ballistic rock shield has been updated to provide enhanced protection against pebbles and debris while also adapting more easily to uneven terrain which means the shoe doesn’t feel stiff.

The new DNA LOFT v2 midsole makes the cushioning in the Cascadia 16, 5% softer and 20% lighter than the Cascadia 15 with an extra 2mm of cushioning for added softness but without losing any ground feel.

The updates to the Cascadia 16 are sure to further the shoes already huge following and if you are looking for a trail shoe that is light and responsive, yet protective and cushioned at the same time the Cascadia is well worth adding to your list.
