Brooks Cascadia 5 $100

Written by Cregg Weinmann.

The Cascadia has become a Brooks classic so, as is the case with most classics, this update was undertaken with a light hand.

The midsole and outersole are unchanged since the pivot design responds well to the uneven terrain and its tread offers as effective traction as you’ll find on the trail. The upper features the same open mesh and full rand of round three, but has opened up the synthetic suede overlays in the forefoot and added protection courtesy of a tough mesh panel from the heel through the saddle. The responsive ride—both off-road as well as on—is unchanged, making the Cascadia one of the most versatile trail shoes available.
