Brooks Cascadia 20 GTX Trail Running Shoe - Women's Black/Ebony/Nocturnal, 7.5

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I ran the Cascadia 20 GTX Trail Running Shoe on a rain soaked ridgeline trail with plenty of loose rock, and the Vibram Megagrip outsole held on confidently through every wet section. The GORE-TEX membrane kept my feet dry even crossing a shallow stream, and the added cushioning underfoot took the sting out of a long rocky descent. It's become my pick for any trail run where the weather looks unpredictable.""The trail turns rocky and wet within the first mile, and the Cascadia 20 GTX Trail Running Shoe from Brooks doesn't flinch. Charge up a loose, rocky climb, splash through a stream crossing without a second thought, and flow back down a rooty descent, all while the shoe stays planted and connected to the ground beneath you. This is a trail shoe built for runners who want the adventure without letting conditions call the shots. That confidence comes from real trail engineering. Nitrogen infused DNA FLASH v2 foam adds protective cushioning while keeping a firm, stable feel underfoot, and a Trail Adapt base with flexible, adaptive lugs keeps things steady across loose and firm terrain alike. The Vibram Megagrip outsole with 4mm lugs bites into wet rock and dirt with real authority, while a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane, reinforced overlays, and a TPU toe cap round out a shoe built to protect your feet no matter what the trail throws at you."
