Both the Brooks Cascadia 18 and the Hoka Speedgoat 6 are exceptional trail running shoes, but their differences make them suited for specific needs: Choose the Cascadia 18 for stability, versatility, and technical trail runs.
These shoes are designed for different purposes, and I’ll break down their cushioning, fit, performance, and how their unique profiles can affect various medical conditions. What We’ll Cover:...
When it comes to speed-focused running shoes, both the HOKA Mach 6 and Brooks Hyperion Max 2 offer responsive, lightweight designs ideal for tempo runs, speedwork, and picking up the pace. Here’s a full head-to-head comparison to determine which one you should choose. The HOKA Mach 6 is the more versatile option of these two speed trainers.
After Karl Metzer’s Speedgoat, here comes Scott Jurek ‘s Cascadia! 2021 was especially a good vintage for the Brooks Cascadia, with much more comfort on the menu. The cushioning is softer, and the breathable mesh upper is roomier (also in the toe box), all without losing foot lockdown.
Hoka Speedgoat 6 (RTR Review) - The Speedgoat is lighter, more responsive, more plush feeling and more agile overall. It is a much faster shoe better suited to racing and uptempo training, though equally good at just long days on your feet over any terrain.
Brooks Cascadia 18 Comfort & Fit : 8/10 . I liked the comfort and fit of the Cascadia 18. According to my measurements the shoe has a 114.3 mm width at its widest point, a good amount of room for normal fit. 3.7 inch toebox width allows for natural toe splay without compression.
We think the Brooks Cascadia 18 is a fantastic choice for: Newcomers to trail running who want a comfort-focused shoe for varied mountain activities. Runners prioritizing a breathable upper, a rare feature in many trail shoes. Heel strikers looking for a stable, well-balanced ride on light or moderate terrain.
Review: Hoka Speedgoat 6, Trail Running Shoes. A terrific all-round trail shoe to take you comfortably from road to trail. Cushioning, stability and grip for a great experience on any terrain/distance.
Les deux titans du trail face à face ! Le choix entre ces deux chaussures est difficile tant elles ont chacun leurs points forts. Ainsi, dans l’ensemble, le maintien et le volume de l’empeigne de la Brooks Cascadia est plus confortable, notamment si vous avez les pieds forts.
So in this review, we will of course look at what’s new with version 6, and how that compares with its immediate predecessor, and some of its current competitors. But we also think it’s important to consider the shoe in isolation, on its own merits.
