Excellent running shoes
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Divide 5 are a must have for casual runners! When the shoes arrived, I was quite impressed with the quality and style. These shoes are true to size and a perfect fit! They have just enough arch support for support and are extremely comfortable for running, walking and even use on trails. We recently went to Yellowstone National Park, and I was quite satisfied with how well the Brooks Divide 5 operated on the rough terrain. My favorite feature is the fabric which is amazingly breathable where feet won’t get too sweaty even on a hot day. The design is very versatile so these can be worn with anything. All in all, I couldn’t ask for a better shoe!

Awesome
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Divide 5’s are awesome. I’ve been wearing them daily for work, around the house, outside chores and a few short runs for the week since I got them, and they are my new go-to. They felt a bit narrow at first, but just needed a wear or two to stretch and feel great now. I’ve worn and run in a size 12 from Brooks before, and these fit great in a 12 as well. They feel very comfortable and supportive, but not too heavy. They feel nice and grippy on the bottom which will be great for hikes/trail running, but they don’t look too bulky; they’re low profile enough to still wear around town as well. The fabric feels like a good quality, very durable. Wouldn’t change a thing. Excited to hit the trails in them soon.

Comfort-ready for miles
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a very neutral and average width foot and have a wide selection of brands and models in circulation for running. These are one of the top two most comfortable shoes I have, and the best fit among them. The shape pads and supports the sides perfectly alongside a very comfortable sole. Construction seem very thoughtful for comfort and putting in many miles. The design and color scheme is nice. I don’t wear my runners for casual use but if I did, I probably wouldn’t choose the color schemes for wearing out. That said, I really like them for running. They are durable and easily cleaned after post-rain runs. Overall, I would recommend them for someone looking for an uber comfortable pair of runners. They are hard to beat.

Comfortable with great grip for trails
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Divide 5 are nice and snug and great for trails. Heel is locked in, while the middle of the shoe is comfortably snug and the toes have plenty of space to move and breathe. The traction can't be missed and makes this a great shoe for trails but it's too sticky for me to take it to the roads. The feel is pretty comparable to a road shoe, just a little heavier, but it breathes quite nicely. It moves well and provides good support. I'll give these plenty of use and have high hopes of them holding up well.

Divide 5!
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fit and Feel: The Divide 5 running shoes fit great, providing a snug yet flexible feel. They're comfortable for running and walking while offering good support without feeling tight. Design: The design is modern and stylish, with appealing color options. Fabric and Materials: The shoes use high-quality materials. The breathable mesh upper keeps your feet cool and dry, and the sole offers excellent traction and grip. Likes: I love the comfort and performance of these shoes. The cushioning absorbs impact well, making runs more comfortable. Suggestions for Improvement: I noticed my ankle felt a little sore after wearing them. Adding lower ankle support could potentially help. Overall, the Divide 5 running shoes are a fantastic choice for any runner, combining style, comfort, and performance.

Great Shoe!
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying I just recently got into running; I haven’t been doing this long but needed some cardio to supplement weight lifting on my health journey. I may not be an expert on the latest and greatest running shoe but these worked very well for me. I run on the road in our neighborhood or on the greenway trails and these shoes offered great support, especially in the heel and arch. The fabric was very breathable, my feet didn’t feel hot or constricted even in the June heat. I really like the design and have even gotten several compliments on how good they look while wearing out and about. They are slightly tight around the middle of my foot and I don’t typically wear wide shoes, so maybe pay close attention to width if you’re wary of that. Overall it’s a great shoe and I’m excited to use it more as I gain my footing (haha) in this new hobby.

Lightweight comfort and stability
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Divide 5 is a very solid trail shoe that is lightweight and comfortable with generous padding and support. Out of the box, these were pretty comfortable for me. They fit snug and hold tight onto the foot without slipping, while still allowing plenty of room in the toe box. The footbed is supportive and protects well on uneven terrain. I was initially concerned that the lugs wouldn't be substantial enough, but the shoes handled well even on slightly wet, muddy trails. Considering the thickness of the sole, these shoes are very light, and I never felt like they were heavy on my feet. Stylistically, the shoes look great with clean lines. The dark black and blue colors look sharp, don’t show stains, and clean up easily. There’s a lot to love about these shoes, and they would work great for not just for trail running, but for any general outdoor activity where comfort and stability are beneficial.

My new go to

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband loved the fit and chill colors of this sneaker. He’s a chef and spends most of his days in his feet. He said these sneakers feel like supportive clouds and are his new favorite. Fit true to size. The material is easy to wipe clean. These sneakers are comfortable enough for all day use. Simple design makes them easy to pair with different styles of clothing.

Supportive running shoe
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband is in his early 30’s and has been a runner all of his life. He runs on paths, roads, and a variety of terrain. In the past he has had two knee surgeries. Shoes are very important to him while he runs. These Divide 5 shoes offer my husband the support his body needs. His favorite part about this product is the comfort his knee and ankles receive while running. His normal body aches post running has improved! The shoe is versatile allowing him to seamlessly run on different surfaces. The one thing he would adjust is the heaviness and bulkiness of the shoe. Although it is not the most stylish due to the large profile, the comfort and support outweigh the look of the shoe. Overall, the Divide 5 has a perfect fit. He ordered his normal size in shoes. The fabric of the shoe happens to be breathable, yet very durable. He has used this product on a variety of surfaces and they still look brand new. He would recommend this product to a fellow runner.

Comfort & Stabilty in One
1 year ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently tried this pair of Brooks running shoes which have proven to be a solid choice for my daily runs. The shoes fit true to size, though I found them to be slightly wide, which might be a consideration for those with narrower feet. While the design may be a tad dated in terms of style, it more than makes up for it with exceptional comfort and stability across various terrains. One of the standout features is the fabric, which is light, breathable, and moisture-resistant, making it ideal for running in different weather conditions. The lightweight material helps to keep my feet cool and dry, which is a huge bonus during long runs. Additionally, the sole provides excellent stability and cushioning, which offers robust support and prevents my feet from getting sore even after extended periods of use. Overall, despite a few minor drawbacks, these running shoes are a great investment for anyone looking for dependable and comfortable footwear for their runs.
