Features
The Brooks Cascadia 16 lets you explore the trails fearlessly, thanks to an updated Ballistic Rock Shield and enhanced adaptability throughout the outsole. The Cascadia 16 uses DNA Loft v2 foam to provide an even lighter, softer feel while you run. This helps absorb impact and cushion landings on uneven surfaces.
Unique grooves in the midsole and outsole help the shoe conform to rocky terrain, providing stability on even the most unstable trails. An updated Ballistic Rock Shield works with the more adaptable construction of the shoe to offer protection from rocks and debris while helping to stabilize your ride.
A reinforced toe offers additional protection, while the knit mesh throughout the toe box provides ventilation to help you deal with hot temps and water crossings. The heel collar is padded and protected to block debris and keep your foot securely engaged.
Do it all in the Brooks Cascadia 16.

What's New
The Cascadia 16 has been updated to be more cushioned and adaptable than ever before. DNA Loft v2 foam is lighter and softer than previous models, and designers added an extra 2 mm of foam to the midsole for even more shock absorption and cushion. Release grooves in the midsole and outsole help the shoe deal with technical terrain while still providing you the stability you need. Plus, an updated rock plate gives you extra protection from rocks and debris.
Who It's Best For
This is a do-it-all trail shoe for any trail. The Cascadia 16 offers plenty of protection in the toe, heel and outsole to keep debris out and help you find your grip over rocky or slippery surfaces. Brooks’ DNA Loft v2 cushioning is some of their softest, helping to disperse impact and absorb shock as you run while keeping your feet feeling fresh.
Why You'll Love It
The Cascadia 16 is great for beginners to experienced trail runners alike. It offers the protective features you need, like a rock shield and reinforced toe, to feel confident over rocky terrain. The updated cushioning creates a comfortable and supported ride no matter where the trails may take you.
