"Over the course of 70 miles, the Cascadia 19 has proven to be one of the most well-rounded trail shoes I've tested this year. I ran everything from mellow dirt roads to sharp, rocky climbs and even raced a trail half marathon in them-finishing strong with minimal fatigue. The nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 midsole gives the shoe an unexpected spring and resilience that make it feel lively without sacrificing protection."
"On technical trails, the shoe stayed composed and predictable. The TrailTack Green outsole is sticky and confident, gripping well on wet rocks, dusty descents, and loose gravel. The overall stability helped me stay centered and smooth on tricky footing. While I wouldn't call it an aggressive race shoe, it handles everything from tempo trail runs to long, grinding mountain climbs effortlessly."
"The upper of the Cascadia 19 is comfortable and secure right from my first step. The engineered mesh feels durable but not restrictive, with a roomy toe box that allows natural toe splay. Midfoot lockdown is excellent, giving a confident feel on off-camber and uneven terrain. My only real critique is the over-padded tongue-it's soft and protective but tends to soak up moisture on wet days, holding onto it longer than ideal. Otherwise, the shoe hits the sweet spot between plush comfort and locked-in security."
The nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 midsole provides spring and resilience, creating a lively yet protective ride. The integrated rock plate maintains protection while preserving natural flexibility and ground connection. The TrailTack Green outsole offers sticky traction on wet rocks, dusty descents, and loose gravel, and the shoe's stability keeps the foot centered on technical terrain. The engineered mesh upper grants a roomy toe box and secure midfoot lockdown. An over-padded tongue retains moisture longer, but the shoe avoids hotspots and suits long mountain outings.
