Brooks Caldera 3 (Men)

It's time to discover your inner mountain goat. Lightweight cushioning and a sticky TrailTack rubber outsole keep you going mile after muddy mile.

Suitable for trails, and some road

Use for training and racing longer distances

Low drop – 4 mm

Standard fit

Maximum cushion – 28 mm

Weight – 9.3oz / 263.7g

Pros:

• Rockered midsole and low heel height make this a great replacement for anyone who had been using Pearl Izumi trail shoes.
• Lightweight for a shoe with maximum cushion making it a great option for longer runs.
• Built in velcro gaiter tab and lace securing elastic are nice details.
• Caldera 3 seems to have brought back the more accommodating toe box of the original Caldera.
• Improved traction on the new TrailTack rubber outsole

Keep in Mind:

• Max cushioned shoes aren’t as nimble on uneven technical terrain
• Brooks insoles are built up in the arch, this shoe may be more comfortable with a thin unstructured insole.
