BrooksWomen's Cascadia 16 GTX Running Shoe

I bought these as they had good reviews for plantar heel pain which I suffer from. I wanted waterproof shoes I could wear outdoors for hill walks and dog walks (I have Brooks Adrenaline I wear indoors to support my feet). These are brilliant - I have tried other trainers and my bad foot hurts within minutes but I can wear these all day - Brooks are the only shoes I can currently wear! I can even wear these without my special insole. Will buy another pair before they are discontinued.

I have purchased other waterproof shoes by this company, and they required no break in. These shoes rub on the side of one foot, and they slip on the heel of the other foot. They are not flexible enough and are very uncomfortable. I wear them as little as possible and shall have to get a more comfortable pair.

Forma lunga

I have worn Brooks Ghosts for many years and wanted to get a pair of Brooks that would be more beefy for hiking with good support and grippy soles. These Cascadias sadly were not at all comfy like my Ghosts. They were the same size as my Ghosts but were much tighter over top of foot and then a bit lose in heel. They were also extraordinarily stiff and inflexible. I knew right away these were not going to work for me. Also the heel to toe drop is so much less than the ghosts and I felt very flat footed instead of having heel lifted which I love and am used to. They shoes were just overall very uncomfortable compared to Ghosts and I could not wait to get them the heck off my feet! I wish Brooks would make the ghosts into a hiking edition with a beefier sole and great gripping action with same awesome comfort. These were a fail. Sent back.

Bought these for a Disney trip. Wore them for the very first time walking around a full day of Epcot and then next day park hopping. My feet felt great the entire time and no blisters! I was so happy to have them with me on a trip I was walking 10+ miles a day
