FAQs
Is the Brooks Cascadia 18 waterproof?
The Cascadia 18 features a durable mesh with protective coatings for trail debris, but it is not inherently waterproof.
Can I use these for road running?
While durable, these are optimized for trails; using them on concrete for extended periods may lead to premature wear of the traction lugs.
How do I determine my size?
Brooks sizes are consistent; we recommend choosing your standard UK size or half a size up if you prefer more room for long-distance hiking.
How long should these trail shoes last?
Generally, trail running shoes maintain their cushioning and traction integrity for 300 to 500 miles, depending on the terrain harshness.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Cascadia 18 has a standard fit designed for stability, but the upper materials allow for some natural foot expansion.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on extremely uneven terrain
Ensure your laces are tightened securely to engage the midfoot lockdown system.
Accumulation of mud on the outsole
Tap the soles together after the run or use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from between the lugs.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Cascadia 18, check the fit to ensure you have roughly a thumb's width of space at the toes to accommodate foot swelling during long runs. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the upper using mild soap and cool water. Let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, which can compromise the foam cushioning or the mesh integrity. Always untie the laces before removing the shoes to maintain the structural shape of the heel cup.
