Brooks Cascadia 11

Brooks Running continues to evolve one of its most recognized and demanded sagas for trail running, the Cascadia. And it does so in the most appropriate sense, since the American brand takes advantage of the feedback from its followers to incorporate improvements in its shoes. This is the case of the Brooks Cascadia 11.

Although its predecessor model, the Cascadia 10, had a new sole configuration, the downsides of this model were its narrow last and the short life span of its upper. Although the last of the Brooks Cascadia 11 remains the same, what the company has tried to do in this new version is to improve the upper. To this end, we have resorted to thermo-sealed reinforcements, and also to a more specific material to keep the runner's feet dry at all times. In addition, these new additions do not reduce the breathability of the shoe.

BioMoGo DNA, star cushioning material

For the cushioning system, Brooks Running continues to rely on its star material, BioMoGo DNA, present in other reference models of the American manufacturer, Brooks Ravenna 7 and Brooks Launch 3, and which provides this type of adaptive cushioning. This, together with the Segmented Crash Pad, guarantees smooth transitions.

On the other hand, it also continues to feature the protective anti-stone plate, which prevents sharp elements in the forefoot and forefoot area, which maintains a high level of protection in the most complicated terrain.

As the outsole is one of the best performing components of the Cascadia 10, in this new version, the outsole has not been touched. Thus, the effective combination of its tread pattern and itsexclusive 4-pivot system improves traction and offers optimal control in the middle of the race.

All in all, the Brooks Cascadia 11 is still aimed at the segment of runners who run long distances with maximum comfort and protection. It has a 10-millimeterdrop, and weighs 334 grams in the men's version (42.5EU), and 286 grams for the women's model.
