Other trail shoes we’ve tested have an average of 3.4mm lugs. Hands down, the best of the best! With 4.3mm lugs, it’s just fantastic.
The real superstar in this shoe is its traction. Seriously, it can’t get better than this.

See our full review and factsĪ bruiser that can take the hammering from the trails, the Brooks Cascadia 16 is a no-brainer! We put it to the test, and it aced everything from mile 1 down to the last. It’s heavier (8.6 oz) than its precursor (7.6 oz) and it’s even heavier than other plated racing shoes like the Vaporfly (6.6 oz) and FuelCell RC Elite (7.3 oz). And one that we can’t move past is its weight. It wouldn’t be a total race-day package, if not for the shoe’s fantastic midfoot lockdown! Nope, wobbling is not part of this shoe’s vocabulary.īut it’s not all rainbows and butterflies, this shoe also has its downsides. And a huge plus, the carbon plate does not punish the feet!Īnd surprisingly, for a race day shoe, the Hyperion Elite is very stable, thanks to its wide base and carbon-fiber plate. And here’s this shoe - breathable and cushy. Most racers just don’t give one bit of attention when it comes to this. If you’ve been around long enough in the carbon-plated shoe scene, it’s also important to note that this road racing shoe WOWED us in the comfort department. The rocker made us roll through our strides fast, encouraging us to go to the next step.
We didn’t have to push this shoe, IT pushed us. It’s insanely bouncy and propulsive, it’s like it's made of springs underfoot. It paced us, and it did so excellently, we felt like we were just zooming through the blocks. We are far from being an elite runner, but the Brooks Hyperion Elite 2 made us feel like we were one of the all-stars! For context, average shoes only weigh in at 9.3 ounces. At 10.1 ounces, it’s just WAY up there on the scales. If there was one thing we weren’t a fan of in this shoe, it’s the hefty weight. It’s SUPERBLY stable, we don’t mind taking it out for some trail runs! Even better, in all our runs, it remained stable. In simpler words, it’s damn SOFT.Īlthough it took our breath away in recovery paces, the Ghost also showed some serious performance when we decided to pick up the pace. After some nerdy lab tests, we have found that it only takes 19.2N to bend while the average shoes take about 40.2N. We took it out on a couple of test runs and it gave us the best flex for daily runs. So, if you want a luxurious couch for your feet, this is THE shoe. It’s a workhorse whose agenda is to keep the runner’s feet comfortable at all times. It’s hard to deny that the Brooks Ghost 14 is a favorite among runners.
