i've been wearing the cascadia series since their inception, and i am always so glad to receive a new pair! i'm also very happy about amazon being a liason so i can order brooks along with other things and only get charged once.

these shoes came from brooks, not amazon, and the shipping was much faster than the projection amazon gave me, which made me very happy!

the cascadia 7 is very bright, love the colors. i always size up half a size in this particular shoe. $99 is a decent price, too. but the best thing about this shoe, to me, is that when you slip it on and start walking around in it, you will see how different it is. the sole is only one piece of rubber, which made me skeptical when i tried them on all those years ago, but i honestly know after running them for so many years, that this is what sets this shoe apart from all the other shoes out there, because whenever i think i'll deviate from the cascadia, the shoes i try on to replace them just do not have the transition that the cascadia boasts. the sole makes for the smoothest ride of any running shoe i've ever owned, and i've been running for about 20 years. i make my friends try these shoes on because i know that once they slip them on, they'll be hooked.

 amazon's customer service department is second to none.
