Brooks Women’s Cascadia 16 GTX Waterproof Trail Running Shoe

Why, why did I wait so long to buy waterproof athletic shoes for the winter? These are great shoes. I used my own inserts that I use with every shoe, so can’t comment on the insert they come with. Wider toe box than my regular tennis shoe, not as bouncy as my regular tennis shoe. However, bottoms have more ridges and far more grip than my tennis shoes, and these have a wider toe box. I rarely find shoes that fit and are comfortable enough for a long walk, these fit the bill. The fact that they are waterproof is a huge bonus, no more wet toes.

I give 10 stars! I'm a Brooks girl. I tried several of the high dollar big name hiking sneakers. They weren't great. Since I'm a Brooks tennis shoe girl I researched these. Boy! Am I glad I did. I have been hiking for over 30 years. I just returned from Guatemala volcanoes during the rainy season. The most treacherous hiking of my life. I hiked through rivers, mud slides, loose rocks, wet sand, and wet lava rocks (like glass). These shoes supported my feet like clouds. The traction was 10+++. My feet stayed dry the entire time. I just can not say enough about these shoes. I by far will only wear Brooks! The cost compared to other high end hiking sneakers is minimal. The style is great. The color is great. They look like girl shoes. So often hiking shoes don't look feminine. These do.

These walking/hiking shoes are very comfortable and the soles are amazing

These shoes r good for working outside, but less comfortable than Ghost. However, they r reasonably water proof and have held up ok so far. The price of Brooks shoes is ridiculous.

I am a Brooks girl, and they tend to last me about a year with me wearing them daily. That being said it was time for a new pair. I like the color, and I need a wide front. I also need and arch support. This shoe does it all. The arch isn't 100% perfect, but it is better than other brands out there. I have worn these all day for a few days now and there is no discomfort in the honeymoon phase you sometimes get either. I also like the fact this shoe is waterproof, considering I am a walker, and I do get caught in the rain at times.

Great shoes. I Walmart an 11narrow but couldn’t find a narrow so I ordered a 10.5 medium. Great walking shoe and definitely waterproof

I’ve been a loyal Brooks Ghost wearer for years. I was excited to get these because of the waterproof capabilities and I liked the look. Was hoping to wear them on an upcoming trip instead of hiking boots.Unfortunately the toe box was too narrow top to bottom (and I have narrow feet). Loved the look but my toes were rubbing on the inside top. Returned.

Can always count on Brooks for great plantar fasciitis support and comfort, while walking long distances. Took a chance with these as I had a lot of hiking planned this fall, and was not disappointed. Had a very short break in window, and have had countless issues with all other hiking shoes and boots in the past. These shoes DELIVERED with absolute comfort, cushion, support, versatility in temperatures and terrain, and look fantastic. If you are on the fence and love Brooks, don’t hesitate!
