From RockCreek:
"The Cascadia 3 Trail Running Shoe by Brooks is one of the most stable, evenly balanced off-road shoes on the market. Made with a groundbreaking Pivot Posting System, you get an enhanced balance on uneven surfaces, helping prevent ankle sprains and keeping your foot more in control. With an aggressive sole, beefy cushioning and a tight lacing system, the Cascadia fits like a glove, but works like a hiking shoe. Designed to protect feet from rocks and blisters, making this trail runner tough enough to take on any terrain - no matter how rough, steep, or wet... sounds like fun."

From REI:
"Cushioned for running on tough trails, these Cascadia 3 shoes feature adaptable posts to adjust to terrain irregularities and provide stability. Durable synthetic leather/polyester mesh uppers with microfiber overlays are lightweight and airy for quick drying and draining performance. Polyester linings absorb and disperse moisture for enhanced comfort; removable insoles add cushioning. Midsoles feature a special polymer compound formulated to resist compression and rebound more quickly than standard EVA. Medial and lateral Pivot Posting system helps outsoles adapt, offering stability on uneven surfaces. Silicone-based HydroFlow® system at heels and forefeet features fluid-filled center chambers that damp shock. Forefoot Ballistic Rock Shields protect feet from sharp rocks. HPR Green outsoles are made of high-density carbon rubber for outstanding durability and feature aggressive lugs for maximum trail bite. A low-waste production process makes these ''green'' outsoles environmentally friendly."

"I'm on my third pair. They are comfortable on road and trail. I wore a pair for the Portland Marathon and also for my first 50K on Mt. Hood Pacific Crest Trail. I have a high arch and like to rotate my inserts--my rigid orthotics fit just fine. My foot is a little wider than normal, so I wear thin socks for the best fit."

"This is my fifth pair of Cascadias. I run almost exclusively on trails. When I do run on the road, I still use the Cascadias. I never get blisters. Good cushioning, stable, low to the ground, drain and dry well. The Cascadia 2s would blow out on the outside where the small toe knuckle protrudes a little. It appears as if Brooks has fixed this problem in the 3."
