Our verdict

A road feeling shoe with trail grip that handles light trails and the pavement to reach them. Deep mud and technical terrain need a more aggressive trail shoe.

Overview

A run that starts on a neighborhood street and turns onto gravel or park trails is where the Divide fits. Brooks pairs a road style fit with DNA LOFT cushioning, TrailTack rubber and a mudguard for light off road paths.

A familiar road shoe feel with dependable grip lets newcomers try trails without a stiff, aggressive shoe. Lugs are built for light trails, so mud and steep rock are beyond its range.

Who it's for

Runners and hikers mixing pavement with park and gravel trails get one shoe for both. Those racing steep, technical routes should choose deeper lugs and a rock plate.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Grippy TrailTack rubber
  • Soft DNA LOFT cushioning
  • Mudguard and toe cap protection
  • Breathable mesh upper
Cons
  • Lugs suited to light trails only
  • Neutral only, no stability
  • No rock plate mentioned

Performance notes

High surface area lugs keep more rubber in contact on hardpack and pavement, which gives grip on both. Shallow lugs shed mud less well, so traction drops in deep mud.
