With the familiar fit of a road-running shoe plus trail-ready traction, this shoe is designed to help you embrace new terrain in total comfort. Sizing wise the SG5 is a lot narrower up front than the Divide, and much less volume overall in the upper. This shoe has similar stability and comfort but is more lively, especially when running on technical terrain. Versatile and adaptable, the shoe strikes a balance that provides reliability on a wide range of terrain without requiring excellent technique or skill. Jeff V: I am really impressed with the looks of the Divide 3, very much resembling the new Caldera 6 (though not nearly as big) with hints of Cascadia 16, two of my favorite shoes.

The breathable upper is seamless except for the connection of the tongue, which we assume is a spot where Brooks reduces costs.

The TPU mudguard offers protection against whatever you might kick up, surrounding the air mesh that has had the durability to sustain hundreds of miles, yet the permeability to maintain adequate breathability. Thank you to Paul and Alan for sorting and fixing my new cycle shoes and pedals both gave excellent service. It is designed with DNA LOFT material, ensuring comfort and cushioning whether you're running on asphalt or in the woods.Perhaps the comfort and style I’ve especially enjoyed in the Divide 3 is a result of the new DNA LOFT cushioning and an all-new air mesh upper.

If you’re looking for maximum softness and enjoy features such as a plush feel under your feet and protection from impact, try shoes with the most cushioning. v=1680621176","variant_ids":[43876954734820,43876954767588,43876954800356,43876954833124,43876954865892,43876954898660,43876954931428,43876954964196,43876954996964,43876955029732,43876955062500,43876955095268,43876955128036,43876955160804,43876955193572]},"available":true,"name":"Brooks Divide 3 (Mens) - Blue\/Green\/Grey - 9.However, Brooks makes no promises with the Divide 3 when it comes to mud, snow, ice, and especially tight turns, rather marketing the shoe as perfect for runners who frequent city parks or neighborhood paths.

Aside from the obvious difference in pure stack, the main difference for me is the extremely wide platform of the Caldera - I found it a bit awkward to get used to. Some more advanced users may find the stiffness limiting on more technical terrain, but this is a great option for roads, gravel, and light trail without spending top dollar. The Inov-8 (formerly known as Terraultra) is zero drop, and lower to the ground with a more responsive, bouncy even, midsole. Jeff V: Even though I really liked the Divide 1 and 2, I set them aside in favor of more premium, higher tiered shoes. This shoe is a little firmer, has a wider fit (especially in the forefoot), so runners can get used to learning their footing and getting a better feel for the ground.

If you find yourself running mixed terrain around town, this could be the perfect starter model for the sport. This model does not come with GORE-TEX® (see the Divide 4 GTX if GORE-TEX is a must), yet the upper is thick enough to avoid the unpleasantries of allowing a puddle to soak into the shoes. was really knowledgeable and I feel really confident that I’ve got the right pair of shoes to help me on my runs.
