Do you hike in walking boots, trail runners or even barefoot? There are so many options out there for hiking and before walking long distance trails and thru-hikes I used to be in the boot camp. However, over the last 5-6 years my go to are trail runners. In this video I share my favourite ones and give a review on the latest model - the Brooks Cascadia 16.

This is the pair of shoes I wore during the trail race which I got the champion trophy. I love the grip of the sole spikes when I run bravely downhill. I am a newbie in trail running and Brooks made me run happy😊

@MarysOutdoorAdventures Год назад

Yay!

I too have the 16 for hiking and trail running find them perfect and bomb proof. I also have the 17 and still prefer the 16.

I’ll be using these on my AT through hike… hate sore feet

@johnalden5821 Год назад

I can credit the arguments for opting for trail runners for backpacking -- especially for thru-hikes. They are easier on your feet over a 15-20 mile day, you can get them wet and they will dry out pretty quickly, they are cooler on hot days, and they are simply lighter and less tiring over days and weeks. I will eventually probably switch over if I try a thru-hike. The concern I have is ankle support. I have an ankle that I suspect was broken several years back but never totally healed. I re-broke it backpacking a couple of year later (this time I went to a podiatrist and actually did the right things to let it heal). But I continue to be wary about over-stressing it. Plus, I live in the eastern U.S., where the trails are older (including the AT) and so worn down that long stretches of them are nothing but rocks and roots. So I am staying in light boots to protect from rolling my ankles every 30 minutes on trail. How are the trail runners for ankle support and stability?

@MarysOutdoorAdventures Год назад

Hi John, they really are great for thru-hiking and I wouldn’t wear anything else. But considering your ankle break it sounds like you have made the right decision to stay in your boots for now. I can say from personal experience that the ankle support in trail runners is not great when faced with uneven terrain. I took several months building up ankle strength when I started hiking in trail runners as well as specific ankle exercises. It’s a slow process and it does help, but they would never give the support a boot would.

@johnalden5821 Год назад

@@MarysOutdoorAdventures I have found that running has helped strengthen the ankle a good bit, along with some stretches I do for my ankles, but the left one (the one that broke) is still a bit wonky. Maybe I will get there at some point, and I can totally see the advantage of the trail runners -- not least because they double as running trainers. It's counter-intuitive that trails in the eastern U.S. would be so rough on your feet, but as I said, they are worn down to bedrock in some places, and the geology has a lot of granite, so you can go a ways with no flat surface to walk on, just rocks jutting up all cattywampus. In fairness, I have seen some of that in your videos, too.

I am going on a whitewater canoe trip this summer in the Yukon. Would these be good? Thanks

@MarysOutdoorAdventures Год назад

They are designed for running or hiking on trails, I'm sure there is more suitable footwear for being in a canoe.

@hairless_monkey Год назад

Do they have as much support as a low hiking shoe/boot?

@MarysOutdoorAdventures Год назад

No, they are quite low on the ankles to be honest compared to boots and hiking specific shoes.

@dalmotavares824 Год назад

Many miles and trips with these shoes in Maria 🎩🤓 Beautiful color, bonito as cores do novo tênis. Human adaptation to sudden climate change takes time. From tropical climate to snowy environments and vice versa. Nariz gelado ? Bruuu bruuuu One more sun to warm your nose 🌞 vice-versa? Cuja ordem está invertida, em relação à ordem inicial; no sentido oposto; inversamente

@Swimdeep Год назад

How many miles would you estimate these trail runners last?

@MarysOutdoorAdventures Год назад

They always recommend between 300-500 miles, but I often get 700 out of my Brooks! I think it's perhaps because I mainly use them for hiking. At 500-700miles I also find I see no wear and tear on the soles, it is usually the inner cushioning at the heel that wears out. I know there are non-visual signs of wear and tear in the sole cushioning which your body can feel, but again hiking in them it isn't too noticeable.

@Swimdeep Год назад

@@MarysOutdoorAdventures Thanks Mary. I’m still old school boots 🥾 and my oldest pair has a few thousand miles on them. Trail runners are intriguing because of the weight. I think I will have to actually try them. 🌿

Didnt get wet when step on snow? i saw on 0:42 in VDO

@MarysOutdoorAdventures 8 месяцев назад

Oh yes - my feet got soaked in the shoes! They are not waterproof.

@wildwolf8983 9 месяцев назад

Any ankle issues with these shoes

@MarysOutdoorAdventures 8 месяцев назад

No issues personally - but as they are not meant as ankle support it is possible to roll an ankle easily.

@davidalexander287 Год назад

Good review, but I wear boots. The reason for this is I worked in heavey industry, and one thing I hated more than anything else was my ankles being clobbered. It hurts. Boots give you ankle protection.

@MarysOutdoorAdventures Год назад

Yes there is less clobbering in boots 😆
