Brooks Cascadia 16

The designers at Brooks have added 2mm of DNA LOFT v2 foam to the midsole, making the shoe lighter than its predecessor and providing a softer feeling underfoot for increased comfort. With the added cushioning Brooks Cascadia 16 now sits in their cushioned trail category, designed to protect and comfort the foot even over the toughest long distance trails.

The engineered mesh upper is seamless and breathable with all-round reinforcement, offering a secure structure to hold the foot. The gusset tongue is integrated to keep out small debris.

The upgraded Ballistic Rock Shield is now more flexible. Together with the ‘release’ grooves in the midsole, this helps the shoe to adapt to uneven terrain and offers better contact with the ground. Its primary function is to shield the feet against debris, pebbles and hard rocks. The durable TrailTack rubber on the outsole is sticky, ensuring outstanding traction on either wet or dry terrain.
