Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Divide 6 GTX trainers are designed for adult runners who require a reliable hybrid shoe that performs equally well on pavement and technical trails. These shoes offer the essential benefit of waterproof protection paired with responsive cushioning, making them an ideal choice for year-round outdoor exercise. One notable caveat is that the waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, while excellent for protection, may offer slightly less breathability than non-waterproof summer-specific footwear during intense heat.

FAQs
Are these shoes strictly for trails?
No, they are hybrid trainers designed to perform well on both paved roads and moderate trail terrain.
Does the GORE-TEX make the shoe heavy?
While slightly heavier than non-waterproof models, Brooks has engineered the Divide 6 GTX to remain light enough for fast-paced running.
Can I wear these for daily walking?
Yes, the DNA LOFT v2 cushioning provides excellent comfort for daily walking, particularly in wet or cold weather.
How do I attach gaiters?
The shoe includes specific attachment points near the heel and tongue to hook compatible trail gaiters securely.
Should I size up for the waterproof layer?
Generally, you should stick to your standard running shoe size as the internal volume is designed to accommodate the lining comfortably.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
While the shoe is waterproof, heavy sweat can accumulate. Use moisture-wicking socks and ensure the shoe is fully dry before your next run.
Reduced traction on slippery surfaces
Check for packed mud inside the outsole lugs and clear them out with a stiff brush to restore the rubber's grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Divide 6 GTX trainers maintain their performance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: After muddy runs, remove excess debris with a soft brush and rinse with lukewarm water. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can degrade the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Gaiter Attachment: Use the integrated hooks on the tongue and heel to securely attach trail gaiters if you anticipate deep mud or loose rocks.
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are snug but not tight enough to restrict circulation; the mesh upper is designed to wrap the foot comfortably.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew from forming on the moisture-wicking materials.
