About this deal

Brooks also states, “Our unique Pivot Post System provides a stable platform that allows your foot to adapt to any terrain.” While the midsole is not super responsive or agile, the durability is what will cause a runner to keep on lacing these bad boys up for one trail after another. Outsole Jeff V: The mesh upper is, as John states, is very similar in construction to the Caldera 4 which has proven to be very durable over time. The two big stand out impressions I had when I first tried the Cascadia 15 is that the toe box is great and there’s not a lot of cushion in the shoe. I had always envisioned the Cascadia as being more of an all around trail shoe so I was expecting something more substantial under foot but the Cascadia has a lot more ground feel than I would have guessed. John: As Canice points out, the midsole is designed to give greater stability. To determine if that’s true, I took these up and down a steep and technical trail. I felt in complete control laterally and ankle rolls were non-existent. The width is the first thing that stands out by giving sufficient counter to ensure an ankle roll is unlikely. The Brooks Cascadia is the flagship of the American brand’s trail collecting. Of course, it’s impossible to talk about the Cascadia without mentioning Scott Jurek: the legendary athlete has undoubtedly been a critical component of the shoe’s commercial success over the years. For those who do not know Scott Jurek, let’s just say he’s won the Western States 100 seven times (!)! Yup. And, by the way, if you’re looking for a great book on running (with delicious vegan recipes as a bonus), you should read E at and Runwhen you have the chance.

I’ll get into the details of the shoe in the proceeding sections, but as stated previously, this is a well-constructed shoe that looks like it is ready for just about anything one can throw at it! Maybe it’s good for my feet to change my shoe brand now & then, certainly a lot to chose from. I believe the “key” is to know one’s foot. The more closed mesh of the 15 also helps keep out debris as opposed to the more open mesh of the previous version. Sorry Josh, just seeing this a year later! 😊 I think the 14 and 15 are so similar, I would suggest a 14 at sale price. That said (now a year on), the upcoming 16 blows them both away and certainly worthy of consideration (8/1/21 release). Of course you will soon be able to get the 15 at a sale price, but would spring the extra money on the 16 personally.

John Tribbia (5' 6", 130lbs) is a former sponsored mountain/trail runner who has run with La Sportiva, Brooks/Fleet Feet, Pearl Izumi, and Salomon. Even though he competes less frequently these days, you can still find John enjoying the daily grind of running on any surface, though his favorite terrain is 30-40% grade climbs. He has won races such as America's Uphill, Imogene Pass Run, and the US Skyrunner Vertical Kilometer Series; and he's held several FKTs on several iconic mountains in Boulder, Colorado and Salt Lake City, Utah. If you follow him on Strava , you'll notice he runs at varying paces between 5 minutes/mile to 12 minutes/mile before the break of dawn almost everyday. If you hadn’t noticed, Brooks has been dropping some great updates and new shoes in its trail line. The Catamount is a new flashy speedster, the Divide provides some promise as an entry-level trail shoe, and the Caldera has a plush and smooth ride. I am a big fan of bold, bright colorways on shoes that have really cool names like Citron Mutant. The Brooks Cascadia 15s don't have a lot going on in the style department.

Typically, I like a firmer trail shoe that has some rigidity, but these did not have any rebound or energy return. It felt like a very flat ride without any spring to the toe-off. This is the same outsole as the previous version and durability has proven to be above average with only slight signs of wear on the lugs where I toe off or land. iRunFar’s Trail Running Shoe Archive: 2016-2019 Releases Here at iRunFar, for the most part, we’ve been publishing two articles outlining each season’s new trail running shoes (and […]...
