Will Buy Again!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are so comfortable and have helped my knees with walking and standing in the gym for multiple hours/day. I would highly recommend these!

Best Walking Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These by far are my favorite walking shoe. Great arch support. Nice spring when walking. I love the mesh upper. They feel good around my toes. The color is great!

Just What I Was Looking For

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second pair of Brooks. I have the Revel 8 and have used them almost exclusively for my first few months of running; however, I knew I need a second pair to add into the rotation. After some research I decided on the Glycerin Flex. Standout features have been the cushioning (great for long runs), the toe box (it is not narrow and leaves space for the toes), and the flexible sole (it feels adaptable to my feet and running surface). I also love the color, some days it’s what motivates me to lace up and hit the pavement. Overall, I am very happy with my selection and know they will have a place in my running shoe collection as a long run go-to.

Just The Right Amount Of Cushion

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't like a lot of spring in my shoes, prefer to feel the ground under my feet -- but not too much! (I loved the Levitate.) The Glycerin Flex is more cushioned than I like but still lets me feel the ground. The tongue is a little wonky, but I think it will soften up with some wear. All shoes should be Stealthfit, this one is not :(

Did Not Work For This Senior

When I first put these on they felt so comfortable. After wearing them for a few hours I had a blister on the ball of my foot. I returned them. I will stick with my old standby the Glycerin. To be totally transparent I am not a runner. I wear Brooks everyday as my main shoe.

Awesome!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] so comfy!! i use them for work as a nurse & they last me all night without my feet hurting the next morning.

Not The Best Sneather Material Its Too Thin

i've always like brooks sneakers until this pair. its missing the support around the top of the shoe. too thin and gaps around the ankle. i would love to return for another pair ....maybe if i had tried on before buying i would have not chose these.....

Glycerin Flex Model - Narrow Fit

I'm disappointed in the "flex" model of these shoes. The have a narrow fit and do not fit as advertised. I've been wearing Glycerin shoes for many years and this is the first pair I'm disappointed with.

Narrow Fit, Even On A Narrow Foot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have narrow feet and the normal fit are too narrow for me. I wanted to like these so much! I love my glycerine 22 but anytime I get a special glycerine fit (stealth and flex) it feels like my feet are sliding out to the side of the shoe. The tongue of this shoe is a little weird too and crumples on the sides as soon as I put my foot in.

Tongue Needs Work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought for running but where the tongue hits the front of my ankle is very uncomfortable so I have transitioned them to walking shoes.

Good With Room For Improvement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the flex on the sole but the loose tongue tends to roll and get stuck making the top of my foot get sore.

Wanted To Love Them

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes look great and the initial step in feel made me want to love them. However, I’ve been getting some numbness in the balls of my feet even if I’m going for a short run around 3 miles or a leisurely walk. I’ve tried lacing them in different ways to see if I needed to relieve some pressure on the top of my feet and it hasn’t seemed to make a difference.

Great Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best shoe so far. Don’t like the tongue. Getting a second pair.

Great All Around Shoe

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Favorite shoe in a long time! All the cushion of Glycerin with added flexibility and more style. I am not a distance runner but walk a lot and go to gym daily that combines strength and cardio… these work for it all! Cute enough to wear daily… and I do! Currently have 3 pairs and keep hoping for new colors.

RebeccaV

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love love love them! I am actually going to be ordering another pair but this time the peach colored sneakers. This will be my 4th pair added to my collection.
