This shoe is for runners who want to explore any trail and feel confident across all terrain.

We focused on giving trail runners the confidence they need to explore any trail in the updated Cascadia 17 and Cascadia 17 GTX. Our new Trail Adapt System integrates DNA LOFT v2 cushioning with a middle-loaded ballistic rock shield and zonal outsole pods to create adaptable stability on uneven surfaces. New TrailTack® Rubber is made of 25% recycled content and still provides the heavy-duty traction and grip necessary to traverse slippery ground, rocky crags, or anything else the trail may throw your way.

And if it’s mud and rain that nature has in store, grab the Cascadia 17 GTX for its breathable, GORE-TEX® waterproof protection.

BROOKS CASCADIA 17 GTX REVIEW

Enhanced traction

Biomimetic design draws from the anatomy of mountain goat hooves; the forefoot outsole is split to better grip uneven surfaces while zonal pods enhance control.

The midsole, rock plate, and outsole are integrated to optimize adaptability on all types of terrain.

We placed the lugs so they individually compress into the cushioning, creating underfoot softness and increased grip over rocks and uneven ground.

Adaptable stability

Our new Trail Adapt System utilizes an integrated midsole rock plate, and zonal outsole pods to offer enhanced control and a stable ride over any terrain.

Soft cushioning

DNA Loft v2 midsole technology provides soft cushioning over any terrain to deliver comfort as you explore.

GORE-TEX®Invisible Fit membrane for waterproof, breathable protection, yet comfortable and supple.
