Enables seamless adaptation between packed earth and loose gravel pathways, trail running/hiking shoes.

Advice for Trail Runners: The Brooks Women's Caldera 8 Running Shoes offer lots of cushioning and support for long-distance trail runs.

Underfoot Feel

The midsole is made from Brooks' nitrogen infused DNA LOFT v3 cushioning. This offers a soft and plush underfoot ride. The high-stack midsole should also protect your feet on rocky terrain.

As the Caldera 8 Running Shoes are designed for uneven terrain, the midsole sidewalls are raised. This offers extra support and security. Wide base-nets and flex grooves improve your ability to adapt to unpredictable surfaces.

The 4 mm lug outsole should offer traction across a wide range of terrain. Importantly, it should feel comfortable on hard-packed ground.

Upper Fit

The Brooks Caldera 8 Running Shoes' upper is designed to be very durable. The materials resist scratching and snagging on the trail. The air mesh also has breathable TPEE in the top layer - further enhancing durability.

Finally, the quick-dry mesh should shed moisture quickly if you're running on wet ground.

Ideal Run Type

Choose the Brooks Women's Caldera 8 Running Shoes if you're looking for a soft and comfortable underfoot ride for off-road runs. As you'd expect, the high-stacked midsole is well suited to long-distance trail runs, such as ultras.

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 thatyour running shoewill beat least a half size bigger than your regular shoe sizethough this can vary from brand to brand.
