Caldera 8

TrailRelease date 2025-02-06JP

Caldera 8 is a high-cushion trail shoe built for long outings and races beyond 50K. Nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 provides soft, durable cushioning, while raised sidewalls and a widened base help steady the foot over uneven ground. Grooves in the outsole improve adaptability, and TrailTack Green rubber supplies wet-and-dry grip. A quick-drying mesh upper resists scratches and snags for extended trail use.
