As announced at the world's largest running convention, The Running Event, held in Texas, USA at the end of last year. Brooks has presented a new version of one of their trail running models for mountain. We are talking about the Brooks Divide 5, a model developed maintaining the production line of its predecessors that comes with a greater presence and quality.

And it is that these Brooks Divide 5 maintain a versatile philosophy full of comfort and softness that makes them one of the most versatile and complete trail running shoes of the company. We are talking about a model for short and medium distances, up to half marathon or 30k, prepared to offer great safety, softness and protection in any type of mountain situation.

Outstanding features of the new Brooks Divide 5

The Divide 5 is a running shoe from Brooks created specifically to provide the best possible support in all your workouts and / or competitions of all those who begin to run in the world of trail and do not need a shoe with the great technologies that can be found in models of higher performance.

The new version of this model improves performance and materials compared to the Brooks Divide 4, being a more versatile model, with the main objective of reaching a wider profile of runners.

This versatility comes because we can use the shoe for not overly technical mountain terrain but also on asphalt, in those areas of transition to reach the mountain and that will penalize us as much as the previous versions.

It is worth noting the brand's commitment to the use of recycled and sustainable materials in this latest version, for example, more than 50% of the upper of the shoe is made from recycled materials.

The upper comes with an extra adjustable and resistant mesh upper that does not skimp on lightness and breathability, great adaptation to the foot, with a traditional lacing and a higher quality finish than the previous version.

The midsole continues to use the DNA Loft compound, which offers a smoother and more fluid ride and good cushioning.

The outsole has the Trail Tack Green compound developed by the brand, the same as its predecessor, but with the use of recycled materials (up to 25%) and which stands out for its high resistance to abrasion and protection, which will offer enviable durability and good grip on a wide range of terrains.

The Brooks Divide 5 is a perfect running shoes for any runner looking for a model with great comfort, protection and versatility for all your outings in irregular mountainous terrain. A model that maintains great support in order to have a safe and natural stride at all times.

In terms of distances, this is a model that defends itself perfectly in short and medium distances, ready for any competition or training session, but at quiet paces not too high and for a wide profile of mountain terrain.

The technical specifications are similar to the previous version, gaining a little more lightness and maintaining the 8 mm drop. The weight of this new version is 289 grams in the men's version and 252 grams in the women's version.

In short, we speak of these running shoes for men and women as one of the models that will surely make waves in the catalog of Brooks in this 2024, which we predict a great future in the sector of trail running shoes all-terrain, thanks largely in that it has one of the best value for money of the brand.
