Mixed

The Catamount 4 is great for racing on semi-technical trails but has no forgiveness on recovery runs.

Blog · Runmag – Florent · summarized

Positive

His first Brooks won him over: fast on runnable trail and versatile in the end, ideal from 25–30 km up to marathon-length trails. He couldn't test it in wet conditions as the trails had dried, and suspects that could be its Achilles heel.

Blog · Journal du Trail – Vincent Gaudin · summarized

Positive

More versatile than v3 without losing its dynamic DNA: a thicker sole and more cushioning widen its range while staying playful, with a well-locked heel and comfort on runnable paths. Grip is only fair on wet ground, the cushioning is limited for ultras, and mesh durability is uncertain.

Blog · Better Trail – Jenny Abegg · summarized

Positive

Their favourite Brooks trail shoe: light, firm and fast-feeling, with an exceptionally stable ride, locked-in fit and consistent traction from slick rock to dirt. Comfortable enough for 30 miles. The firm, moderate cushioning lacks comfort for long or recovery days, and it's less lively than earlier versions.
