Brooks Cascadia 20 Trail Running Shoe - Women's Arctic Wolf/Rose/Nightlife, 8.5

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I put the Cascadia 20 Trail Running Shoe through a muddy, root heavy loop after a week of rain, and the adaptable lugs kept finding grip even where the trail turned to slop. My legs felt fresher than usual after a long descent thanks to the added cushioning underfoot. The mudguard also kept debris out way better than my old trail shoes ever did."Mud sucks at your shoes before the trail even starts climbing, and the Cascadia 20 Trail Running Shoe from Brooks turns that mess into part of the fun. Push through slick roots, splash across a shallow creek bed, and grind up a loose gravel switchback, and the shoe just keeps adapting to whatever's underfoot instead of fighting it. The Vibram Megagrip outsole reshapes itself against soft dirt, wet rock, and firm trail alike, while Trail Adapt technology keeps the ride wide and steady when the ground gets uneven. Extra nitrogen infused cushioning takes the edge off long climbs and descents, and a reinforced toe cap with a built in mudguard shields your foot from whatever the trail kicks up.
