FAQs
Is the Brooks Divide 6 waterproof?
The standard Brooks Divide 6 is designed for breathability. If you require waterproofing, please look for the specific GTX (Gore-Tex) version of the series.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Yes, the cushioning and durability make them suitable for high-mileage training, provided you are running on surfaces that match the shoe's road-to-trail focus.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for foot swelling during exercise.
What surfaces are these shoes best for?
These trainers are best suited for paved roads, gravel paths, and light, non-technical dirt trails.
How often should I replace my Divide 6 shoes?
General recommendation is every 300 to 500 miles, depending on the intensity of use and the abrasiveness of the surfaces you run on.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping on wet terrain
Ensure the outsoles are clear of packed mud or debris, as trapped dirt reduces the effectiveness of the rubber lugs.
Foot discomfort during long runs
Check your lace tension; ensure they are snug but not constricting, and verify that the insole is properly seated within the shoe.
Unusual wear on the outsole
Inspect your running gait for signs of overpronation or underpronation, as uneven surface contact can accelerate wear patterns.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Divide 6, prioritize a proper fit by testing them with your preferred running socks. When cleaning, remove loose dirt by tapping the outsoles together and wiping the uppers with a damp, soft cloth. Do not machine wash or dry these shoes, as excessive heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive bonds. If the shoes become soaked during a trail run, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to air-dry naturally at room temperature.
