Hello from the PNW, North Bend, WA to be exact. I own two pair of the Cascadia 16's with 200 miles on one pair and another 100 in the second pair. I've ran in the dry rocks of Utah's Wasatch mountains and two days later water slogged trails of Utah's Uinta Mountains where streams were running fast. Water took a bit longer to drain than in my old Hoka Evo Mafate 2's. I changed to the 16s due to problematic ankle rolls in the Mafates. The traction on the 16s is superb in all conditions. They worked as well as Vibram soles when scrambling up ridge lines in Utah and held well on fast tight turns in damp and muddy PNW trails. I had run in Cascadia's in early models, 12s were my last pair, when I thought they had become big heavy tanks. I recently ran a 50 mile ultra in my second pair of 16s here in Washington and did get a small blister on the inside top of my big toe. I had felt this in previous shorter runs and normally just put mole skin on prior to running. This time I couldn't find the mole skin so used KT blister tape and it didn't fully prevent the small blister. The 16s allow me to feel the trail better than the Evo Mafate 2s and I really like the build. I'm a heavier runner so need some protection but also need to feel the trail, which allows me to react quicker and prevent ankle rolls. I'm sure each pair of the 16s I own will give me 600 miles plus. I have a trail marathon this weekend with over 7500' of vert here in the PNW, which should give me a good idea if I'll continue on with the 16s. So far I'm happy to support our Seattle area running shoe company although I must say I'm loving the Salomon Sense Ride 4s also. QOD: Old fashioned homemade ice cream
QD: Camping. I feel like when I go camping lately that I see more and more people going with tech and convenience. I still love the old tent and sleeping bag on the ground style camping I did as a kid.
I love cooking and baking everyday like my Mother did back in the 70s and 80s! Too many people don’t cook anymore they buy ready made sauces and processed meals.
Qd: I still get the local newspaper delivered everyday. My kids are like, dad, I already know all that stuff from my phone. I like getting my info a day late sitting at my table after a long run.
I just bought another pair of these Gore Tex Cascadia16's....I have been beating snot out of my 1st pair and they are well built. ( I figure they will eventually wear out and I want to have a spare pair when that happens. ) I use mine on fire roads, railroad tracks, light trails & hills. They work really well at that. I would hike mountains in them if it was all I had and I’m sure they would be capable of that. ….but (I prefer a hiking boot for that activity). The Gore tex version of the cascadia 16 is my go -to winter running shoe, good grip on icy roads and my feet stay warm and dry. I really like the DNA loft 2 cushioning. It makes the shoe feel responsive. I will still give the Cascadia 16’s 5 stars overall for an affordable, rugged, capable, package.
I’m 55 years old, and I like a lot of things the old fashion way. However, three things that I do regularly, the old fashioned way, are 1. Straight razor shaves are so relaxing. 2. Getting my cowboy boot shoe shined with them on feels so good for these runner’s feet. 3. Black coffee and old fashioned crispy donuts are perfect on a crispy fall or winter morning Things don’t have to be fancy to feel good, taste great and give you a slice of heaven. Luxury is a state of mind. Love what you have and have what you love. Keep it simple!
Although I have a GPS running watch, I prefer to tell the time the old-fashioned way, with a good mechanical, automatic winding analog watch! Your review is spot-on Seth. I bought the Cascadia 16 online the day before it was officially released because it was selling out fast and I wanted to get the wide version before it was gone. I normally wear 9 wide but bought 9.5 wide and it is definitely both wide and long. If I bought again I would go down to 9 wide or try 9.5 normal width. The traction is great except in really slick mud. The upper lockdown and comfort is great, but the midsole comfort only so-so. It feels like running on a worn-out pair of shoes where the footbed is not uniform anywhere but bumpy. Maybe it's just me though. Other than that, it's a great trail shoe with lots of great features!
I can’t believe this is already old-fashioned, but as professional musicians we still have a great stereo system, & a lot of CD’s (including some of our own + recordings of live performances-on our channel!). Listening to music on an cell phone/ear pods just isn’t the same. I also keep duplicate schedule books and calendar which I update by hand. I don’t trust relying on electronic devices as much for that. Finally, we still have a landline. It’s a good idea from a security point in case of electrical outages, but the connection is often way clearer and more reliable than cell phone. Martha
Amen to the landline! I keep saying I won't let go of ours until cell phones can match the sound quality! And living in rural New England, winter power outages are a part of why I want to keep it too : )
@@michaelpalm2210 hehehe! We used to have Dunkins in the early 90’s but they all vanished somehow!! Then Tim’s took over the coffee and donut business here in Canada!!
QD: my mother in law introduced me to how wonderful homemade ice cream was when she made a few pints as a fun activity for my then 2 year old son. She has a hand crank and old bucket exclusively for this apparatus. It really makes a difference. That ice cream with pumpkin pie is my hands down favorite treat.
@@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 local flavor is endlessly better tasting than artificial. If you have it in abundance you don’t appreciate it in the moment but man is it good to look back on 👍
Watching from Bellingham about 1.5 hrs north of Seattle about 1 hr south of Vancouver , CA. Lots of trails here , coastal forests/low mountains here and big mountainous terrain about and 1-1.5 hrs drive east. Yes brooks is our most local running company and supports our local stores :-)
This is interesting. I have the Cascadia 13s and they are very different than these. The upper is much simpler, no waterproofing, very breathable, kinda minimalist padding. It's my favorite upper of all my shoes, I wish I could put it on all the midsoles. The outsole seems about the same and the midsole seems a bit shorter stack on mine. They are not cushy shoes, but they do keep me protected on very rooty trails.
QD: I'd have to say running! Being a runner who started back in the 70s, I still follow many off the same ways I learned back then . I don't listen to music or use a fancy watch or a heart rate monitor . My coaches emphasized the basics back then i.e. do the strengthening exercises, stretches and follow the Lydiard way. Still works well 40 years later!
QD: Sending postcards, listening to vinyl and CDs and reading (real) books. Many cultural techniques (handwriting, painting, taking the time to read) are getting lost or people forget about their importance. GREETINGS FROM SALZBURG/AUSTRIA!!!
QD: I only use wooden pencils to write my notes. Dixon Ticonderoga to be exact! Something about sharpening the pencils and how they write cannot be replicated by mechanical.
Just picked up the 17s in wide. Think they may have improved lock-down. I get no swim in the wides. Every thing else about this review holds. TANKS, wouldn’t be my go-to for light, well-maintained trail runs. But would be great for more aggressive trails. Also 2 years into Brooks Glycerin street runners, incredible durability. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for the QD, Seth! This long hold-out has turned oh-so buttery member. For today´s QD, I´ll say PANCAKES: Flour, sugar, egg, milk, hand-cranked whisk. The best part is the hand-whisk belonged to wife´s grandmother. My pops just recently visited me in Zürich after 2+ year COVID-separation, and he asked the other morning: Which batter do you use, Bisquick? Pssshhh.... if it´s old-school for Pops, it´s old-fashioned!
QD: Woodworking. It's very satisfying using hand tools to get something that fits just right rather than the noise and fear you get with power tools :)
Driving a stick shift (manual transmission). I had only ever owned stick shift cars in my adulthood up until a couple years ago. Was time to get a new car, and getting an automatic was a trade-off I was willing to give based on other things I was looking for.
Yeah Seattle!! I don’t wear Brooks shoes, but they are very popular here! Yes, from the PNW! Love our trails!! My husband wears the Caldera 5. I prefer the Altra Timp 3.
I still use old sayings my parents used. Not sure where they came from time to time I will blurp one out and people around either laugh or have a confused look on their face. 😄 one of them I use all the time is “ Better than a sharp stick in the eye” meaning it could be worse. Anyhow I use these old sayings and definitely some younger people have never heard of them. I’m definitely a little old fashioned and that’s ok.
QD: It's gotta be sending and receiving mail. Getting a physical birthday card or any other piece of mail is so much better than an email or social media message.
Just picked up a pair of these to replace some worn out Hoka Torrents. Decided I needed something with more structure and protection, even at the cost of weight. Got a half marathon in two days thst is going to be snowy and muddy and realized if I ran in my normal dry weather stuff they’d probably have to dig my body out of a ravine in a couple weeks. Figure if I end up hating these Brooks for running I can use them for hiking/backpacking.
QD: I lean towards the phone call too, but son Luke is 17 and making a phone call for him is worse than a root canal. Other: on a road trip, driving w/o Google Maps or Apple Maps and leaving a little early to allow for traffic, accidents, RR crossings, weather, etc. If you get there early, so be it. Stop for break, grab a cup of coffee, an ice cream sandwich, whatever takes you to your happy place.
QoD: Listening to physical copies of music. LPs, Cassettes and CDs. Sure I stream and listen to digital copies a lot, but nothing beats the feeling to put a LP on the record player and looking at the cover and lyric sheet and dreaming myself back to the 80s. “Without music, life would be a mistake.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
QD: I like talking on the phone more than texting. To my 21 year old self that's fairly old school. I only ever text when I don't have the time to call. Taking the time to call me and have a conversation is very much appreciated. Shows you care. I have called my mother and grandmother every weekend since I have been overseas for around an hour each. good old fashioned phone call goes a long way.
QoD: Has to be reading the physical newspaper. I miss being a college student because my dorm would always have NY Times or the USA Today. Newspaper on a tablet or phone is just adult social media in my head 😂
Greetings from WA state! I’ve had some good memories running by the Brooks HQ in downtown Seattle as it is strategically located near one of the most popular trails in the area. Just let me know if you want any photos or b-roll. DGR!
Just ran the Georgia Jewel 50 miler in this shoe. The Pinhoti trail can be pretty rocky so the rock plate was great & I wasn’t going fast so was fine with a little extra weight. I don’t have a wide foot but opted for the wide version bc my feet swell a lot in ultras.
im thinking about picking these up for backpacking/mild trail running with my dog locally around LA mountains/northcal. i love brooks for road running shoes. wondering if i should just pull the trigger on these to replace my hiking boots
I'm not sure why you don't give the Peregrines more love. They have a rockplate, are lighter and there's no comparison with the PWRTRC outsole with 4-5 mm lugs. The game changer is the Saucony PB foam. I wonder sometimes if your body size doesn't work for some shoes? At 6' 150lbs, the PB foam with the PWRTRC is great. Lower stack height too.
My goodness. I bought these like a year ago, and they were like running in combat boots. Hard w no return.... and finally they re breaking in and getting better, but I bet it took like 300 miles to get them to not be so rigid!!
Trying to decide on Altra Loan Peak 6 or Brooks cascadia 16………………….I need a bit of a high arch, and I also need an ok sized toe box due to an old big toe joint injury………….trail hiking………what do you think?
I can't believe they're heavier than the Oboz Sawtooth low hiking shoes, which is a low top hiking boot I really like. But, I've been thinking about the Brooks Cascadia, but lately I've heard Brooks quality control and durability has been questionable. Can you speak toward that at all?
My personal opinion, this shoe is good for trail running and outdoor hiking but did not perform well during my Kinabalu mountain climb. There was a bit slip when i encountered slippery rocks bcoz it was raining heavily during d early morning. And my toes hurt a bit when descending down from Mt Kinabalu. But out of 10 i still can give 7. But still worth buying trail running shoe
QD: Not sure if this is considered old school but whenever I have the chance I really enjoy running barefoot, obviously on grass or dirt. Just feel a lot better and faster throughout a grass workout, and just to get some connection with the earth every once in a while, I think everyone could use some more of that.
Hey Seth, what would you recommend for fast trail runs with a mix of terrain, not longer than say an hour and half in duration? Currently for my long runs I use the Saucony Exodus which I love, for lots of climbing I use the Bushido, and also use the Merrell Long Sky. I was thinking maybe the Sense Pro 4... what else should I look into? Altra Superior maybe?
QD. I like to pop popcorn in a big old pot on the stove. Put on my oven mitts and just start shaking that pot back and forth. I think the popcorn tastes better when you can add your own toppings. Memories of Jiffy pop on the campfire keeps me inspired to pop this way.
25 miles is not enough for a full review!! When you’re running 100+ miles a week - even 140!!! - you could give them 50 miles like a road shoe. Show us trail runners the love, brother!! 😎😍😊😜

Please recommend few best running shoes under $150. Love from india
Thanks Seth, have a great week, too. Mine started early with an easy 10 miler this morning after a PB halfmarathon yesterday
Thanks Seth
Good morning from Arizona. Beautiful 72 degrees. Summer is over. Cool days ahead
Watching from Seattle-I pass the Brooks headquarters regularly on my runs
QOD: I'm not sure of this is"old-fashioned" but I find something soothing about doing dishes by hand and seeing them nice and clean afterwards 😂
Me too😄 but I said reading a book over tablet
So good and refreshing
Agreed, every time picking up physical book I miss nothing more "old-fashioned".
QOD: Old-fashioned dinner. Family around the table, hold hands and say grace, enjoy each other’s company. Thank the cook for a great meal.
I miss those type of dinners. Good times.

Yes! It carries so much more meaning. I think it's partly just the physical/tangible aspect: it matters!
push lawn mower for sure. Something therapeutic about the rhythm of the blades spinning and the sound of the grass being cut.
Idk about the caldera as door to trail. I had the caldera 4 and those thin lugs got chewed up pretty quickly
Talking to people. I hate getting a text from someone who could have just told me in person.

Got a half marathon in two days thst is going to be snowy and muddy and realized if I ran in my normal dry weather stuff they’d probably have to dig my body out of a ravine in a couple weeks.

Was it too wide considering they are already a wide shoe? I normally need wide in european brand shoes, and some running shoes.
I'm not sure why you don't give the Peregrines more love. They have a rockplate, are lighter and there's no comparison with the PWRTRC outsole with 4-5 mm lugs.

I tried a pair of theses on. Nearest comparison would be work boots.
tnx for review
Looks like a tank....maybe the tread could be a little deeper... Thinking of my soon run. Climbing trees ...first thought of mine-old fashioned way.

God bless you!
Hey Seth, what would you recommend for fast trail runs with a mix of terrain, not longer than say an hour and half in duration? Currently for my long runs I use the Saucony Exodus which I love, for lots of climbing I use the Bushido, and also use the Merrell Long Sky.
I was thinking maybe the Sense Pro 4... what else should I look into? Altra Superior maybe?
QD: I really like sitting down and reading the newspaper. Preferably with a cup of ☕️!!
9:37 ... Gesundheit 🤣🤣
Where were you specifically running in beginning of video?
Shout out from Wenatchee, WA! PNW runners let’s connect.
Coffee the old fashion way made in a pot!!!
i am new to trailrunning. Would you do an ultra on this shoes? what is there to look for for an ultra? Light? stable?
QoD coffee, I drink black simple coffee, no Punkin spice nothing fancy I don’t even use whip-cream
I like driving my manual transmission car.
QD: sending letters and old adventure radio shows.
QD: Miss listening to the local radio
(insert Washington state flag here)
Brooks: “So close to average”…sounds about right.
POST CARDS. RUN ON.
New Speedcross 5 ?
QD: baseball the old fashioned way.
Whoever bought seths house, I don’t think they understand the absolute boss status they have right now. They are living in a legends house…
QD: No a.c. in the car. I still drive everywhere with the windows down and music turned up.
QD. I like to pop popcorn in a big old pot on the stove. Put on my oven mitts and just start shaking that pot back and forth. I think the popcorn tastes better when you can add your own toppings. Memories of Jiffy pop on the campfire keeps me inspired to pop this way.
QD: manual transmission!
25 miles is not enough for a full review!! When you’re running 100+ miles a week - even 140!!! - you could give them 50 miles like a road shoe. Show us trail runners the love, brother!! 😎😍😊😜
QD: Doing my early morning runs on the greek island of kythira, with only my WALKMAN for company - those were the days...
One of the stiffest and most uncomfortable shoes I have ever tried for trail running… absolute brick 👎👎👎
