Although I did not purchase these shoes on Amazon, I do LOVE them. The idea of spending $100+ on a pair of running shoes was a bit excessive to me but I'm glad I did. After only three runs in these shoes, i am IN LOVE! In this shoe i feel like I can run longer and when I am done my feet, knees, and back don't hurt a bit! I am very glad I spent the money on these shoes. They are awesome for trail running and treadmill running as i do both for training.

This is my 4th pair of the Brooks Cascadia trail shoes. I love them! Even though I normally run on bike lanes and sidewalk paths, and never trails, these shoes fit and feel great. I never feel any shock in my knees when running with these shoes. All my other running shoes, no matter which store "fit me", I always have had a burning issue on the ball of my left foot. Even my foot doctor couldn't fully explain why, but my narrow foot and the long second toe issue, doesn't help the situation. I tried every kind of sock thinking it was the problem, but after I tried these Cascadia 7 trail running shoes, I don't run with anything else and no more burning problem on the ball of my foot!
Best Deals on Brooks Women's Cascadia 7 Trail Running Shoes
You know how it is when you buy something that you find you really love and then a few years later when it's time to replace it, they don't make it anymore -and you always say to yourself -Darn!!! -why didn't I buy two of those back then!!
Well, for the first time in my life, that's just what I did today. A few months ago, I purchased a pair of Cascadia 7's, and I love them so much that I just ordered another pair of Cascadia 7's today for fear that I would never be able to get this particular model and color again a few years from now when they wear out.
I can't tell you how much of a difference these shoes have made in my life. I love these shoes!
On top of suffering from plantar fasciitis in my right foot and recently recovering from a stress fracture of my left foot -these shoes are --without a doubt --the most comfortable, supportive, light-weight, protective, good-looking, multi-tasking shoes I have ever had! And they are not hot they breathe! They have a lot of awesome features -they even have a rock plate built into the bottom to prevent against stone bruises! They can even accommodate bunions (fortunately -it's the one thing I don't have yet, but give me time!!!!)
I paired them with these awesome insoles from "Sole" -designed by famous mountaineer Ed Viesturs -called the Sole EV Signature Series Custom Footbed (also sold by Amazon) -and WOW talk about cushy, cushy comfort and good arch support! The insoles are a little pricey at $45, but well worth it. Over the years, I have tried Superfeet, Powerstep, and Spenco, but the Sole insoles literally blow all the others out of the water! They are a tad thicker, so you have to remember to size up your shoes accordingly. They are heat-moldable, but I never even bothered to do that. I normally wear a 10 or 10.5 shoe, but had to get an 11 to accommodate the cushy-ness of the insoles. Believe me though, you won't be sorry. Sole also offers thinner insoles if you so desire.
These are great all-around shoes, from walking the dogs to hiking a trail. I love the blue/turquoise color and get many compliments from people on them. I can't say enough about these shoes. They are terrific and I'm so glad I found them.
(P.S. I see Brooks has already come out with the Cascadia 8's, but I don't think they look as nice.)
Honest reviews on Brooks Women's Cascadia 7 Trail Running Shoes
I am a big Brooks fan. I use Adrenaline GTS religiously for running.
For vacation, we went to Peru to hike the Inca Trail and I notoriously HATE hiking boots. I scoured reviews for hours trying to find something comfortable and quick drying and I couldn't find anything that seemed worth the hefty price tag. Perhaps setting myself up for disastrous fail, I bought these in lieu of actual hiking boots. I could not have been happier!! Quick drying, COMFORTABLE and a shoe that was easy to move around it; had traction.. it was perfect. My feet were not aching after 5 days, they were easy to slip on and off, and I didn't trip or slip off the side of the Andes and plummet to my death.

With any running shoe, I recommend ordering one whole size up to protect your toes. This shoe has plenty of toe space and the offset laces don't put stress on the top of your foot.
