Full details
The Brooks Glycerin Flex Running Shoes are designed for adult male runners seeking a flexible and smooth ride, particularly for road running, everyday runs, and long distances. They offer a luxuriously soft cushioning experience with a focus on facilitating natural foot motion. A potential consideration is that the flexible support might not be ideal for runners requiring maximum stability.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the FlexZone™ technology?
The FlexZone™ technology is designed to provide flexible support in the midfoot, helping to facilitate your body’s natural motion path and promote a smoother transition from landing to toe-off.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the plush cushioning and flexible design make them well-suited for long runs and marathon training on road surfaces.
Can I use these for trail running?
No, these shoes are specifically designed for road running and gym workouts. The tread pattern and flexible sole are not optimized for the varied terrain of trails.
How much recycled material is used in the upper?
Approximately 62.8% of the upper is made from recycled materials.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of these shoes?
The midsole drop is 6mm, which is considered a lower drop and can promote a more natural foot strike.
How should I clean my Brooks Glycerin Flex shoes?
Clean them with a soft brush for loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap and cold water for deeper cleaning. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
A single shoe (UK size 10.5) weighs approximately 9.1oz or 258.0g.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size larger or checking alternative width options.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time
While cushioning naturally breaks in, ensure the shoes are not being used for activities outside their intended purpose. Check for any debris trapped in the flex grooves.
Soles show excessive wear
Inspect the wear pattern. If wear is uneven, it might indicate a need for a stability shoe. Ensure you are running on appropriate surfaces (roads, tracks) and not rough terrain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. No special setup is required. Ensure proper lacing for a secure and comfortable fit before your first run.
Compatibility: Best suited for road running, track workouts, and general gym use. Not recommended for trail running due to the tread and flexibility design.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can alter the shoe's shape and materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
