Brooks Men's Glycerin Flex Running Shoes

About This Item
WHAT OUR EXPERTS ARE SAYING: “I have always been a huge Brooks fan. Since I first bought them a few years back, I have had nothing but good experiences in terms of lifespan of the shoe, fit and function. The Glycerin Flex is no exception. It is lightweight and feels that way on your foot. The upper feels almost like a sock top, which I personally love. It gives a more fitted, almost glove like feel on the feet while staying breathable. The segmented bottom gives a new feel and a responsive ride. It took some getting used to but once I broke in my pair, I loved it. They are a great pair of shoes for my mid-distance run as they provide good cushioning with the DNA TUNED sole and the podular design which acts like shock absorbers on a car. I can't speak highly enough about the newest edition to the Brooks line and if you're getting into running, I highly recommend giving the Flex a try!“ – Jack, Footwear Captain at DICK’S Sporting Goods Naples, FL

Can’t Take Them Off!

Seemed like a bit of a gimmick, but once i wore them for about ten minutes, i just didn’t want to take them off. There is some weird magic going on with these shoes. They are way more responsive and way more comfy than you think when you first put them on. Very very breathable, so not a winter shoe. They feel like you don’t have shoes on, but they cushion really well, esp considering i am a heavier runner.

Selena Was Awesome

Walked in to the shoe department and was greeted by Selena. She was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable on what I was looking for and very friendly! She brought out about six pairs of recommended shoes to try on. She is a great asset to your Team!!

Fantastic Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought my second pair. I’ve been using this shoe as my gym/workout shoe as it’s very comfortable and lightweight but more importantly it allows me more flexibility in my weight training. Using the second pair for outdoor walks and runs. Love it!

New Flex Shoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable. Runs true to size. I’ve been using the shoe for 5k and 10k runs. No break in time, from the box to the road. The white looks so good you may save the shoe for casual wear.

Fast, Flexible, And Cushioned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with this shoe; the cushion and flexibility make it a fun shoe to run in especially for faster intervals or miles. Future iterations may need some tweaks to the structure and feel of it, but I think cushion + flexibility could become a fast alternative to carbon fiber plate shoes, because I think the flexibility allows for more natural movement and the medium cushion helps reduce fatigue. My rec would be to collaborate with Nike on the next iteration of this shoe, to pair what Brooks just created with Nike Free knowledge; that probably sounds crazy, but not if the end result rivals super shoes. It would be great for the sport and human achievement! I have three pairs of this shoe right now ahead of my next marathon (Indianapolis) and I’m working with a coach to find out how fast I can run 26.2 as part of coming back stronger after getting struck/run over by a horse a few years ago. Hopeful to get back to altitude for training going into this next race and whether I race in these or not, I’ll definitely be doing most of my training in them! We are planning to build up to 75 miles in a week for this block so it will be fun to see how everything plays out. Thanks for the great shoe!

Wanted To Love It, But Just Couldn’t

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautiful shoe, feels good underfoot. I have medium width feet but the fit on these was too narrow for my comfort.

VS

Too Narrow For A Glycerin

The toe box narrows too abruptly and the show provides little support for people that under pronate. Love the feel of the shoe, but it needs more width at the front.
