Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Cascadia 18, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for shorter walks or easy jogs before attempting high-mileage trail runs to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: After muddy runs, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. If cleaning is necessary, use lukewarm water and a mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying as this can damage the cushioning properties.
- Air Dry: Always air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
