Versatile and comfortable
Originally bought them for increased traction during winter road runs, but they've also become my summer hiking shoe. More comfortable than hiking boots but just as rugged, they keep my feet dry through mud and river crossings. Great shoe.

Disappointed
Was a little disappointed with these. I used to wear the Cascadia 16 and they were a much more solid shoe. This one is supposed to be waterproof but after walking through the smallest patch of wet grass, the water gets inside to my socks and my feet get wet. Also they are not as comfortable as the older model and leave my feet achy after a hike. I expected more paying $170 for these shoes.

Comfy, warm, durable and motivating!
These shoes provide a solid platform, firm, but with enough cushion to protect your knees. Both the tread and gore tex have been excellent in slushy, snowy and icy winter runs on gravel roads and trails. These are the best running shoes for my foot that I have found in a long time, there's ample room in the toe box but the rest of the shoe provides a snug performance fit.

Nice, water proof sneakers
These water proof tennis shoes are absolutely a game changer. Where I live, we get a ton of rain, so these are well worth it for me to be able to continue to run during these times.
These shoes fit true to size for me, and the laces are made to actually stay tied. The water proof material is very effective. The only improvement would be to somehow prevent water from entering around the ankle, as that can sometimes be an issue, however these are still a huge improvement.
The design is nice, although I do wish there were more options, girlier options.
Overall, a great, great product!

Great Hiking Shoe
I will admit I was hesitant at first, my older model of the Cascadia was pretty firm and not the most comfortable. Whatever was done on this design, Brooks nailed it. The shoe was comfortable, had just the right amount of cushion, held up to the trail terrain, and looks sharp. Not to mention, it is waterproof and easy to clean. I recommend this shoe for anyone that has hiking on their schedule.

Purchased for rainy days to keep my feet dry. Haven't had any rainy days yet but they have the same great fit as my other Brooks & look good!

Too Tight, Returned 'Em
Why can't Brooks offer all their shoes in wide widths? Great shoe but too tight in M. I had read this in other reviews but tried them anyway. I suppose I could buy the men's and hope they fit but the color is off. Seriously, Brooks, why not make all your shoes in W, too?

First pair of brooks that I found extremely uncomfortable. Way too tight across the top of the foot.. I had bought two pairs. One for myself and one for my sister. She too said they were way too tight. Every other pair I bought were soft and comfortable. These are tight and very stiff. I'm so disappointed and I paid almost $200 per pair

Gripping, waterproof
Delivered the performance I was hoping for. Handled 8k of steep rocky terrain as well as crossing creeks without a single drop of water coming through while hiking in Costa Rica. Gripping power was awesome going up and down steep terrain with loose rock. While the rest of me was drenched, my feet were completely dry.

The shoes looked great and I was very excited to get them. When I tried them on, though, they were much too small. The same was true for the pair I ordered for my husband. We have both worn Cascadia's for many years and ordered the exact same size that normally fits us. In the GTX version, however, the sizing is way off. If you get these, expect to order at least a full size up from your normal running shoe size (which is probably already sized up). We returned both pairs.
