DNA LOFT midsole

to run smoothly Cushioning, comfort, safety, Brooks Divide 4 uses composite materials DNA Loft. And it doesn’t require resorting to “advanced” versions of the same compounds used by its trailer sisters, Cascadia 17 (DNA LOFT v2) or Caldera 6 (DNA LOFT v3). There is no point in offering maximum performance to the shoes we are using (thus making them more expensive) because the shoes we are going to use are not as “competitive” as their counterparts from Brooks.

Back to the compound, DNA LOFT refers to two concepts: one is Brooks’ own DNA material, and LOFT is one of several finishes made by the American brand. This DNA is a polymer with non-Newtonian properties (that is, it changes depending on the pressure you put on it), and when applied to shoes – and this is what we’re interested in – They make the cushioning dynamically responsive to each athlete’s running style. That is, the response will be different if the speed is slower or faster.

And the attic?Well, it’s a DNA variant where Increases softness of materials at compression levels. They achieve this by adding air during the production process.It feels softer and is suitable for shoes with transparent uppers Careers are using it in shoot based training And you want to be comfortable for all the kilometers.

There are protective reinforcements on the toes and most of the sides that, obviously, won’t let in sweat, although at the height of the base of the metatarsals (the shoe will flex during use), the reinforcements have four openings on each side if we find ourselves in a puddle. Or cross a small river, which will be very beneficial to ventilation and drainage. These openings also provide the upper with a small amount of flexibility, with the shoe flexing at the end of the stride transition.

Thick, fluffy tongues anchor the sides of the shoe to prevent shifting. The laces are flat and threaded through five eyelets, leaving one eyelet at ankle height for a more customized fit.

Additionally, a Brooks signature is incorporated into the tongue of the Brooks – an elastic band that allows anyone who wishes to thread the excess laces through in case they want to fully tie them up (very useful for avoiding accidental trips). Useful) when walking through low vegetation).

The heel area features soft lining that adapts to the contours of the ankle to provide support while hugging the ankle comfortably. Strong supports can support our ankles well when our feet touch uneven ground.

TrailTack sole

The sole consists of a large longitudinal strip crossing from tip to tip, with the material slightly cavitated, which will give us lateral adaptability.

A front transverse strap was added, with another located in the midfoot spanning the entire width of the shoe, bisecting the sole and responsible for providing flexibility throughout the support and momentum phases of the foot during play.

They aid in the aforementioned flexibility while reducing the weight of the shoe..

the compound Tracking pegs Brooks Divide 4 It is a rubber that provides good traction on both dry and wet terrain.. Apart from, Its wear resistance is quite high.

If we look at traction, what we see is subtle design at the forefoot and heel (reverse traction here, for downhill use).

They’re not too big of a block and don’t have a lot of separation, which means they don’t drain mud very well, but we shouldn’t worry at all because that’s not their purpose either. These studs have an arrow shape that provides better traction.

In short, A sole with good grip even on wet terrain that works wonders in the transition between asphalt, dirt and compact terrain.
