Brooks Women's Cascadia 16 Trail Running Shoes

A smoother, lighter version of the iconic trail shoe

If you want to take on anything from slippery surfaces to scree scrambles, the Cascadia 16 is for you. The TrailTack provides sticky, reliable traction, while the flexible Ballistic Rock Shield with vertical grooves protects you from sharp, hard terrain. See what Scott Jurek, trail running legend, has to say about the versatility of the Cascadia 16.

More release grooves in the midsole promote extra adaptability on rough terrain.
