Advice for Trail Runners: The Brooks Women's Caldera 7 Running Shoes offer a lot of cushioning and support. This makes them a great choice for long distance trail runs.

Underfoot Feel

A thick layer of Brooks' nitrogen infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning offers a plush and energetic underfoot ride. This should improve your comfort levels on hard and rocky ground.

The Caldera 7 Running Shoes should feel stable and supportive on uneven terrain. This is because the midsole walls rise up around your feet and support them on both sides. The wide base also makes the midsole inherently stable. Finally, flex grooves ensure the midsole adapts to irregular ground.

Interestingly, the forefoot outsole design uses biomimicry of mountain goat hooves. Helping you to successfully move forward on muddy and rocky trails.

The lug shaping and grippy outsole should improve traction across a wide range of surfaces. 

Upper Fit

The Brooks Caldera 7 Running Shoes feature a durable and breathable upper. An external cage should hold your feet securely within the upper.

Ideal Run Type

Higher cushioning levels can improve your comfort during long days out. This is why we recommend choosing the Brooks Women's Caldera 7 Running Shoes for long distance trail runs. 

Worried about going over your ankles? You always have to take care on technical terrain. However, the extra support in the Caldera 7 Running Shoes could help you feel more stable and supported.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
