Great trail shoes
I have an old pair of new balance trail shoes and these are so much more comfy! Lighter weight and wider toe box, would highly recommend these shoes!

Great shoes - consistent over the years
I've worn Cascadia trail runners for several years - they are consistent over the years. There is a noticeable difference between the trail shoes and the regular/road shoes, and these really ARE good for walking/hiking on uneven terrain.

My feet love them just wish they were made to last
This is my second pair. Unfortunately my first pair didn’t quite last a year. The material on the top started tearing at 10 months. The soles wore down quickly too. This is sad performance for an expensive shoe. I hope these will last longer. My feet really do well in them and my plantar fasciitis is less painful. The shipping of the new shoe was absolutely horrible. The outer box was completely smashed and retaped and the shoe box inside was also smashed. Thankfully the shoes appeared okay. I’m sure this was a FedEx issue.

Great shoe
For road running I always wear Brooks, but was needing a trail shoe. I ordered these and the fit was fantastic. I love that Brooks makes it easy to transition terrain so easy.

Never tried Cascadia before but
I do love them! The Cascadia are a neutral shoe, which I normally wear (the Brooks Ghost)- when these came up for a trail running shoe, I took a chance- and I'm glad that I did! They fit well and I can't wait to try them on the trail. These days I am mostly on harder services (concrete, black top) but I wanted a shoe for trai runningl and for hiking that would be flexible in the sole and comfortable on my feet all day long. I found the perfect shoe!
