Silky- you have cascadias for trail shoes, yes? I just bought a pair to try out...talk to me about yours....like them? your opinion?
cas-ca-DEE-ahs?? yes! well i loved them until they gave me a toe issue at POCAR. but that might be user error w lacing. in any case i am currently trying out a bunch of different options, including re-lacing the cascadias. overall i think they're a great AR shoe. a good happy medium between hardcore tread pattern and fast on the roads.
all of us Alpiners like the cascadias, as well as the pure grits. depends on the length of the race and terrain.
