Best praise vs top criticism for Brooks Cascadia 17
“A friend of mine has Speedcross and they seems good on rocky terrain. I have Brooks Cascadia 17 and they're very good too. I love the color my shoes are (like this [https://www.runnersalliance.it/product/brooks-cascadia-17-w-609/?tpid=T1lDRlhvdVkrT01SMU1GczRTOXhKWm9McWMwcmdEallmcy9sY2txYzZSNXpSK2E3N3FSTUFSeFRMVUxwYUF6Vg2](https://www.runnersalliance.it/product/brooks-cascadia-17-w-609/?tpid=T1lDRlhvdVkrT01SMU1GczRTOXhKWm9McWMwcmdEallmcy9sY2txYzZSNXpSK2E3N3FSTUFSeFRMVUxwYUF6Vg2) ) but it's an old model and they don't make them anymore. But honestly, shoes just aren't a good gift idea. Your GF needs to try them on and you shouldn't buy them just they have cool colors. They need to be comfy for her specific foot shape”
“There are few trail shoes advertised with stability, but the Cascadia is very similar to the Ghost and Adrenaline. I’d go with the Cascadia 16 over the 17 as I think they are closer to what you have. The 17 are too bulky without being plushy.”
