Brooks
Divide 5

Brooks
I would try a pair of Brooks Divide 5 trail runners; it’s a model designed for both running on pavement and easy trails. I bought three pairs for easy hiking (dirt, gravel, grass, rock), and I’ve really liked how they feel as they’ve helped me with my Achilles problems. I’m well over 300 miles on each and they’ve held up quite well. Brooks says they’re a 300-500 mile shoe. But best of all they’re super affordable at around $100 bucks. Recently, I’ve seen them sold for as low as $76. I consider them a great buy. Check ‘em out...!
When did they discontinue the Divide? I saw it on their site a few months ago. Actually, I think the Divide 5 is a bargain of a shoe for its price. Excellent shoe for easy trails. And if one suffers from Achilles tendonosis, the high drop on them is a lifesaver…
I have a pair of the Brooks Divide 5 Gore-tex shoes and I love them for things like this. They're kind of like an in between shoe you can wear on the road or on light trails. They make me feel like I can conquer any terrain and my feet stay completely dry.
Brooks divide 5s with superfeet. They can be worn w/o socks and easily dryout so they stink like the Brooks soles do
In the main I am a running around the block on pavements girly but they do get very slippery at this time of year so I completely get where you’re coming from! I normally wear Brooks Ghost but found they were lacking grip in wetter conditions so I also got a pair of Brooks Divide, which are a lightweight trail shoe and they’ve been just the ticket.
Brooks Divides, been using the 3's and 5's with zero issues.
Check out Brooks Divides. They are a hybrid shoe for trail and road. I find them to be very stable. I also love Brooks Cascadias but they have a rock plate which can be really firm.
There are no stability trail shoes. I do great in Brooks Cascadias and Brooks Divides.
The Divide works well for me on the road and is so much better on light trails than a road shoe.
Adidas Agravic 3's tend to go no sale quite often. That's a solid trail shoe. Brooks Divide is also a solid budget option - cheap to begin with and they also go on sale. Keep an eye out for Merrell sales too - Long Sky 2 Matryx is great, but the regular non-Matryx version is also good, and cheaper.
