Customer Reviews Brooks Divide 5 GTX

The shoe is a little stiff, especially the upper, but that's probably due to waterproofing. It's not very cushy. It's decently wide in that I take the same size as all my other Brooks.

Absolutely love them!! Looking forward great and feel even better. First time wearing them was very comfortable. I've had several people stop me and comment positively on the way they look.

These are my new favorite outdoor shoes. They feel great and run true to size.

I love that these are absolutely waterproof. I've run through puddles of water as well as in the rain. The shoes are wet, but my feet are dry. Also, as with every pair of Brooks I've owned, they are so comfortable!

My daughter loves this running shoe. It's the only shoe she wears when runnung

I use them for walking. I like the fact that they are waterproof. I have 3 large dogs that I walk daily l. We walk in the rain and through wet grass. They are comfortable, they have a nice wide toe box. Nice shoes, they did not require breaking in. They felt really good by the get go.

Sits too high, trying to be a HOKA copy. Sent back. Looking for different profile. Tried on indoors only. Amount of use = 0.

Love these Divide 5 GTX for walking/running during wet months as they are completely waterproof, though they fit similar to my favorite Brooks running/walking shoe the Adreneline GTS 22, they do not have as much cushion which is why I gave 4 stars.

I got these for travelling in Europe. I do a lot of walking. I did not have time to break them in before travelling, and I didn't need to. I have worn these shoes full time for 2 weeks with no break-in issues. They are waterproof which is great for living in the Pacific Northwest. Brooks shoes have always worked right away for for me because the toe box is roomier than most brands but not sloppy or loose in the heels. I will always try Brooks first when buying new athletic style shoes.

Way too narrow. Not comfortable at all. I wish they came in wide size and I would love these shoes. They are very nice, gorgeous pair of brooks but unwearable due to how narrow the width is.

I tried these shoes out on a rocky trail and they are very comfortable, no rubbing anywhere, they give me a lot of stability on the trail.

Great traction, support and fit! This is my fourth pair of these shoes...Clearly, I'm a fan!

heel fits loose and tighter through the toe than the Ghost was. A disappointment

These shoes were bulky and reminded me of an orthotic shoe rather than a trail running shoe. I returned these.

I found these shoes to be very comfortable. As Ive gotten older Ive had to deal with bunions and plantar fasciitis. These shoes have great cushioned support and a wide enough toe box to help my feet be as comfortable as possible. I took them on many trails while on vacation in Victoria BC, and they performed well!

Im a big fan of Brooks running shoes and was excited to try these out. I have the black on black style and while they arent the cutest, they are functional and go with almost everything. This style runs narrow, which I wasnt expecting as I typically dont have an issue with the width of Brooks shoes. It took several days of wearing to loosen them up a bit and I recommend switching out the laces for longer laces. Otherwise, they feel good running and are great quality. I will continue to use these in rotation for running and casually around town.

The advertised details of this shoe are right on: for use on road and trails, weather resistant fabric and good cushioning. In the first several weeks of having them, Ive worn these shoes: all day for daily life, several long days of air travel, a 5K road race, for runs on gravel trails & paths around town and hiked for a couple hours after it poured rain for several hours. The shoes performed great with the GORE-TEX outsoles, giving me good traction in shallow mud and on slick, slippery rocks & roots. The waterproof, but breathable mesh upper made the shoes super easy to clean. I like the design and the all-black color allows it to pretty much go with whatever athleisure-wear youve got on. I think theyre a little boxy and bulky looking with the thick soles, but they are light, comfortable and supportive for running, walking and hiking, making it a very versatile shoe. As far as fit & feel, I got my usual running shoe size of 9.5 (in all brands, including other Brooks) and this style feels really snug so Ive loosened the laces at all the holes -so the top of my foot feels better without the pressure while my foot still feels supported. My toes feel good in them too, since Im used to wide toe boxes. But if I could, I would exchange them for a 10. I plan to wear these for hikes and trail runs; but if I travel and need a shoe for all these activities, I would wear these for sure.

The Divide 5 GTX is a comfy, versatile trail running shoe that can be used for training while also being stylish enough for daily wear on walks and outings. Im a former college track athlete, now postpartum mom of two, who frequently hikes and is working to get back into running. These shoes allow for a smooth transition between the two activities. The Divide 5 GTX handle both trails and pavement well, providing a smooth and cushioned ride. My favorite feature is the GOR-TEX soles that provide excellent traction. The only thing I didnt love about the design is that the black model is fully blacked out, which isnt my preference. The shoes also felt a little heavier than other Brooks shoe models I have worn in the past, but that is also what makes them durable trail runners.

These shoes have been great from day one! The fit and feel was perfect, no break in needed! Theyve quickly become my preferred pair of shoes both for workouts and for everyday activities. Ive worn them on many outings with my toddler and from the grocery store to amusement parks they have kept me so much more comfortable. I cant wait for more adventures in these shoes!

As a regular distance runner for more than a decade, it's hard to believe this was my first trail-specific shoe! I was super excited to give them a try, because my regular street running shoes don't seem to give me the support I need when I'm on dirt/gravel. What I loved: the GTX was surprisingly light! I anticipated a heavier shoe for the trail, but the weight of the shoe felt totally normal. It was also visually much sleeker than some of the other trail shoes I'd seen or tried on previously. The shoe felt really supportive, and even though it's a lower top, the shape of the top of the shoe allowed for a snug fit with the laces tied. The shoe also felt roomy enough for comfort without creating slippage - hard to achieve! The only thing I didn't love about the shoe was the stiffness. I did wonder if over time this would change, but the inflexibility of the sole made it hard to feel responsive to the terrain and meant for a slightly less comfortable run. That said, I felt well protected and supported, and that's a great trade-off for the cushy-ness of your traditional road sneaker.

The Brooks Divide 5 GTX shoes are amazing! They feel great right out of the box, though like any shoe, you need to break them in a bit. The cushioning is soft but still supportive. The fit is snug around the midfoot and roomy in the toe box, so no discomfort or blisters even on long runs. They look sleek and rugged, with a breathable mesh upper that keeps my feet comfy. The materials feel durable yet lightweight, perfect for different terrains. The traction is awesome, gripping well on both wet and dry surfaces, giving me confidence on uneven trails. If I could change anything, I'd make them a bit wider. Overall, they're comfortable, durable, and perform really well on different terrains.

These shoes are my new go-to, I am obsessed. From opening them and trying them on, I was amazed at how comfortable they were. No breaking in needed. They provide a good amount of cushion for my aging knees but also strong support so Im not rolling any ankles! I used them for trail hikes and jogs and loved the support it provided. Huge added bonus they are waterproof with Gor-Tex! Cant wait to take them camping and for all the hiking we do! I also used them in the gym every morning and loved them for that as well. From weight lifting to rowing to biking, these shoes have really become my all around favorite. Another simple detail that I really loved was the shoe laces have a little grip (maybe some rubber?) that prevent them from untying throughout all my different work outs. I dont know why but this was a game changer for me! I cant say it enough, but I love these shoes.
