Extra DNA FLASH v2 cushioning

Description

Adapt to the wild in the stabilizing, trail-ready Cascadia 20. For its 20th edition, Brooks' most rugged everyday trail shoe gets a major platform update — more cushion underfoot on a refined, supportive base that keeps you planted on technical and rugged terrain. Responsive, nitrogen-infused DNA FLASH v2 cushioning gives you an energetic push-off mile after mile, while TrailAdapt Technology delivers a wide base of support and adaptive lugs that move with the ground beneath you. For the first time on a Cascadia, an all-terrain Vibram Megagrip outsole brings confidence-inspiring traction on wet and dry surfaces.

About the brand

Brooks has been singularly focused on the run since 1914, channeling more than a century of biomechanics research into shoes built to keep you moving. From nitrogen-infused DNA cushioning underfoot to the trail-ready Cascadia and road-smooth Ghost franchises, every pair is engineered around how real runners actually move. At Mountain Sports, we love Brooks because they do one thing exceptionally well — dependable, well-cushioned shoes that turn everyday miles into something you look forward to.

Ask a question

How do I find the right size?

Most runners take their usual running-shoe size in the Cascadia 20, with about a thumb's width of space ahead of the longest toe. It runs true to size — if you're between sizes or wear thicker socks, size up a half. Check the size guide on this page, and note the D (Regular) and 2E (Wide) width options.

Is the Cascadia 20 good for hiking?

Yes. The Vibram Megagrip outsole, protective toe cap, and stable TrailAdapt base make it a great choice for day hikes and fastpacking, not just trail running.

What changed from the Cascadia 19?

The 20 adds more cushion on a refined, supportive platform and, for the first time on a Cascadia, an all-terrain Vibram Megagrip outsole for grippier wet and dry traction.

Can I run roads in it too?

It's built for trail, but the cushioned ride easily handles road sections on the way to the trailhead. For mostly-road miles, a road shoe like the Brooks Ghost will feel smoother.
