As an experienced runner who has logged over a 1,000 miles per year, including 100,000 feet of elevation gain, for many years, I consider the Brooks Cascadia the best Brooks running shoe. They are amazing for trails and work equally well on the road, with features like excellent foot protection, deep tread, and strong support. They also come in two versions! The GTX being made of Gore Tex that’ll keep your feet warm and dry feet in the winter.
