A Major Update for Brooks’ Most Rugged Trail Shoe, Now Waterproof
The Brooks Cascadia 20 GTX Women’s is a versatile waterproof trail shoe built for runners and hikers who want serious cushioning and confident traction in any weather. For its 20th edition, the Cascadia gets a major update with DNA FLASH v2 foam, a first-ever Vibram Megagrip outsole, and a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane. Furthermore, it suits trail running, thru hiking, and all-day outdoor use in wet and rugged conditions.
The Cascadia 20 GTX Women’s features nitrogen-infused DNA FLASH v2 cushioning for a responsive, energetic feel underfoot. Additionally, TrailAdapt Technology delivers a wide base of support and adaptive lugs that move with the ground. The updated midsole delivers more cushion than previous versions for a plush, trail-ready feel. As a result, the midsole keeps feet protected on long days over rugged terrain.
Inside the Cascadia 20 GTX Women’s, a GORE-TEX waterproof membrane keeps the foot completely dry in wet and muddy conditions. Moreover, a 3D-printed TPU toe cap and mudguard add rugged protection against rocks, roots, and debris on technical terrain. Consequently, the upper keeps the foot secure, dry, and protected throughout long trail runs and hikes. The fit is supportive and comfortable from the very first mile.
The Cascadia 20 GTX Women’s features a Vibram Megagrip outsole for the first time in the Cascadia lineup for grip on wet and dry surfaces. Furthermore, the adaptive lug design moves with uneven ground for a stable, sure-footed feel. Therefore, the outsole delivers the best traction of any Cascadia yet. In addition, independent outsole pods mold to uneven ground for added stability.
Similarly, the Cascadia 20 GTX Women’s performs well across a wide range of trail and outdoor activities. It suits trail running, hiking, fastpacking, and technical trail use in wet or cold conditions. Therefore, anyone looking for a plush, grippy, waterproof trail shoe will find it a strong match. In short, it is the most capable and weather-ready Cascadia Brooks has ever made.
