Brooks Women’s Cascadia 17 GTX Waterproof Trail Running Shoe

Reliable, comfortable, and built for the trail!
I’ve been trail running for years, and the Brooks Cascadia 17 might be my favorite version yet. The cushioning is just right—soft enough to protect my feet on rocky trails but firm enough for a responsive feel. The updated outsole grips really well, even on loose gravel and muddy patches, and I feel confident on steep descents.The fit is true to size with a secure heel and roomy toe box, and the upper is breathable without sacrificing durability. I’ve taken these on 10+ mile runs and my feet felt supported the entire time.If you’re looking for a trail runner that can handle a variety of terrain while keeping your feet happy, the Cascadia 17 is a solid choice.

Very comfortable but the toe scuffed and paint peeled already
As someone who’s been working on their feet for years and is now dealing with slightly older feet, comfort is my number one priority when it comes to trail shoes. The Brooks Women’s Cascadia 17 Trail Running Shoe does not disappoint in that department. Absolutely comfortable from the first wear! My feet feel supported, cushioned, and there’s just enough flexibility to move naturally over uneven terrain. Even after longer days, my feet aren’t aching, which is a huge win.However, I’ve got a little disappointment. After just a little wear, the toe area is already scuffed. It’s not a huge deal, but I was really hoping these would hold up better in that department. I mean, for a shoe that’s supposed to withstand rugged trails, the toe’s wear is pretty noticeable and not exactly the durability I expected. It’s a bit of a bummer, especially since the rest of the shoe is holding up great.Overall, I’m still loving the comfort and performance, but the toe issue is a downside I wasn’t anticipating. If durability was just a bit stronger, this would be a perfect trail shoe. Still, I’m hanging on to them for the comfort alone!4 stars. Great for comfort, but watch the toe area.

Comfortable, true size
True to size. Roomy toe area. Comfortable.

Runs small. Heel hits higher than any other Brooks shoes. Kind of rigid, but great traction.
Love the color! I am not generally one for pink, but made an exception due to the vibrancy of the shoe and how stimulating and exciting it feels. On a practical note, this shoe runs on the smaller size. I generally wear a 7 1/2 to an 8, and purchased an eight and it is too small. I do not have wide feet. Also, this shoe is less flexible and comfortable than other Brooks, tennis shoes. However, it does seem like the tribe would be fantastic on a trail. I only tried it on within the house because I needed to be able to return it if it did not fit, which it does not. But I imagine it would be great on a trail! I am going to exchange for a half size higher. And we will see if it gets more comfortable with time. Also, it’s important to note that all of the Brooks tennis shoes have the capacity to easily remove the insole and put something like super feet insoles in if you have any conditions like high arches and plantar fasciitis like I do. The Brooks insoles are better than many, but not good enough for a foot problem. I am attaching a photo I took of all of the Brooks shoes I have purchased in the last year. Originally, I was just going to try them on and return the ones that didn’t work, but I am now attached to all of them you will see this one as the diva lemon and hot pink. Love, love, love that traction and colorful creativity on these soles!

I wanted to love these, as my main running trainers are Brooks (Adrenaline GTS) and they’re the most comfortable things I’ve ever worn on my feet.These weren’t as comfortable. They felt a bit tight plus they were much less roomy in the toe box. I’ve decided to return them as I wasn’t confident enough that they’d be great. After having had plantar fasciitis for over a year, I’m really picky about footwear having to be comfortable and supportive. I want sure enough about these

Rezension: Ausgezeichnete LaufschuheIch bin von diesen Laufschuhen absolut begeistert! Sie bieten eine perfekte Kombination aus Komfort, Unterstützung und Dämpfung, die meinen Laufkomfort erheblich verbessert hat. Die Passform ist ausgezeichnet – sie umschließen den Fuß gut, ohne zu drücken, und bieten ausreichend Platz im Zehenbereich, was für längere Läufe besonders wichtig ist.Die Dämpfung ist hervorragend, sodass die Stöße beim Aufprall auf den Boden gut abgefedert werden, was meine Gelenke schont. Besonders auf harten Oberflächen wie Asphalt merkt man den Unterschied, da der Schuh das Laufen deutlich angenehmer macht. Die Sohle bietet zudem guten Grip und sorgt dafür, dass ich auch bei nassen oder rutschigen Bedingungen sicher laufen kann.Klare Kaufempfehlung!
