Your off-road times don’t have to lag behind. Brooks designed the Catamount as a trail-running shoe that helps you move faster on changing terrain, with ultra-light cushioning that won’t weigh you down and offers a springy return. A raised tread pattern and the TrailTack rubber make it easier to grip the ground when traveling uphill or downhill. DNA FLASH foam is nitrogen infused for an optimal combination of energy return and light weight that adapts to your unique stride and allows you to run fast. Brooks' updated Ballistic Rock Shield is placed between the midsole and outsole to help disperse the impact of stepping on a sharp object. Whether your looking for flexible protection, sticky traction or responsive cushioning, you'll love this shoe!
