Brooks

Divide 5 Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Good grip for snow but stiffer sole

I love my Brooks Ghost 16 shoes but I got these for frosty winter runs. The sole on these have great grip but are a bit stiff in the center front under the ball of the foot, so I get numb toes after a long run. I don’t have that issue with the ghosts.

Definitely a keeper for versatility

These are great hybrid trail shoes. They do a lot of things pretty well for mild-moderate terrain and feel like a road shoe with minimal break in. I found the Caldera 7 to be too boxy and the Cascadia 18 made my third toe go numb. I have worn the Divide for training and in road-to-trail races in good weather conditions and in the rain. The only bummer was performance in red clay- but I was able to release the debris quickly enough with a quick scrape on a tree stump and keep moving. The lugs aren’t aggressive, but this IS a hybrid shoe and red clay cakes on everything. The Divide 5 was an improvement on the 4 with more added cushioning and I keep both models in my rotation. True to size as other Brooks (Glycerin 21, Ghost 15, Trace 3). I hope Brooks keeps this model as it fills a nice sweet spot for its versatility.

They initially fit great and had really grippy soles. But when I wore them to walk, about halfway into my 3 miles, my ball of my feet started burning and I was in pain. The burning lasted about an hour or so once o arrived home.

Very comfortable with great support!

Love these running shoes!! Sole is cushiony and soft. Very light and I feel very supported in these shoes. I first bought my first pair of brooks 2 years ago and decided again to purchase new ones. I bought 2 pairs - divide 5 and adrenaline GTS23. I am a size 8.5 in sandals, 9 in sneakers, boots, pumps, etc. For sneakers and boots I go 9.5 so I can wear comfortably with socks. I have narrow and long feet. These are a little wider fit for me but I prefer this fit for my running shoes so that my toes are able to spread out and be comfortable. However, they fit snug enough and my feet are not moving around when I walk or run. I mostly walk trails, running a little. Very happy with my purchases so far.

Great shoe just love it!

Shoe is great. Fits great and supports my feet. Looks great also.

Love these shoes

Love the color, fits just right, and very comfortable. I had another pair in a different style but I like these much better. They dont hurt my feet or push on my arxh like other brand shoes. Will definitely buy again

Impressed with this shoe

This shoe checks all the boxes for my narrow, flat feet: good support, cushioning, and traction.

Appreciate the versatility

I really like the versatility of the Divide as so many of my local trails are paved but have some fun off shoots thru the woods where I appreciate the better traction.

Has been a comfortable shoe right out of the box and while breaking them in.

Comfortable trail shoe!

Great trail shoe! I bought these to replace my old Divide 5s which had Gore-tex water proofing. My new Divides do not have Gore-tex (which was my fault for not paying attention) and I really miss it! This shoe feels springy and light, fits nicely with my foot shape, and gives me that forward assist that I prefer with running/walking shoes. I use these for trail hiking and walking in adverse Michigan weather. I will really miss the Gore-tex in the spring! However, I am keeping the shoes because I like the fit, colorway, and performance in drier conditions. Also, no break in period needed (which I can't say for the Gore-tex version!).
