Brooks Cascadia 17 GTX

The Brooks Cascadia 17 has been one of the most awaited releases of the year by the company's loyal followers. If the traditional version burst onto the scene as one of the most complete in the trail running market, this waterproof version will delight every self-respecting runner. We are talking, of course, about the Brooks Cascadia 17 GTX.

The Brooks Cascadia 17 GTX is a trail running shoe that stands as one of the most complete models of Brooks Running. This version maintains the standard of its traditional version by adding a plus in safety and protection, thanks to the Gore-Tex mesh upper. All this while remaining a solid option for the trail runner looking for cushioning and dynamism without sacrificing comfort.

Main features of the Brooks Cascadia 17 GTX

As with its regular version, these Cascadia 17 GTX are trail running shoes from Brooks designed to offer comfort, safety and stability in all types of mountain outings. We are talking about a model that provides great support, thanks to its good structure and maintains a high level of comfort even in the longest runs.

We are facing a model perfected with a Gore-Tex mesh that covers the upper and provides exemplary waterproofing. A model that stands as one of the most complete so far in the Brooks trail running catalog and perhaps the entire mountain market.

Ideal Brooks Cascadia 17 GTX runner

The Brooks Cascadia 17 GTX is ideal for long distance runners looking for cushioning and protection without sacrificing a versatile and dynamic shoe. In this version, the shoe has gained some weight, so it could be suitable for heavier runners, even over 95 kilos.

In summary, we are talking about a model oriented to the neutral trail runner, although it offers enough support to reduce pronation. A model that, of course, is made for long distances, although it will not allow us to run at very high paces.

Brooks Cascadia 17 GTX Technical Specifications

Some of the most significant technical details of these Brooks Cascadia 17 GTX are found, as it could not be otherwise, in its upper. With a Gore-Tex mesh covering the entire upper, this is an improved version of the already more than successful Brooks Cascadia 17.

The midsole of these trail running shoes for men and women continues to feature DNA Loft v2, a compound that has proven to be very effective in terms of comfort, reactivity and stability. Besides, the outsole of the Brooks Cascadia 17 GTX maintains the brand's own TrailTack compound, which offers a balance between performance and durability. All this in a set that weighs around 289.2 grams and remains at 8 millimeters drop.
