Venture off road with ease in these Brooks Divide men’s running shoes, designed to make the transition from road to trail seamless so you can focus on racking up the miles. Being an avid wearer of Brooks shoes and trainers in general, I found the fitting true to size in length, with half sizes available, though marginally wider than other shoes which may be problematic without my Profeet custom insoles to help hold my foot in place.

Made for light trails and road-to-trail transitions, the Divide 3 fits like a road shoe with Trail-Tack traction and added protection. Make a mark at your longest toe and then measure the distance from the mark to the edge of the paper. No matter your speed, style or where you start, Brooks believe you always end up in a happier place when you run. I have several step climbs and descents where I live and despite some recent rain, I had complete confidence bombing down hills with the TrailTack outsole.

The Divide 3 excelled over various terrain but performed best at easy to moderate trails or road/gravel running.

While walking is a relatively low-impact activity, running involves far higher levels of forces and stresses given that it is a series of single-leg hops (Swain et al,. The Caldera 6, while it has an accommodating forefoot, is perhaps just a smidge more narrow than the Divide 3.Aimed at neutral runners, it offers a quality response in distances ranging from a 10K to a marathon. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I also notice more volume in the Caldera heel cup, but again this may or may not be noticeable depending on your heel shape and size. Please consider your individual circumstances when selecting shoe style and size and ensure you are happy with the fit before using the shoes outdoors.
