FAQs
What is the main benefit of the FlexZone™ groove?
The FlexZone™ groove in the midfoot allows for a more adaptable and smoother transition from landing to takeoff, enhancing the natural movement of your foot.
Are these shoes suitable for someone who overpronates?
No, the Brooks Glycerin Flex are designed as neutral shoes and may not provide the necessary support for individuals who overpronate. It's recommended to consult with a running specialist for advice on shoes for overpronation.
How should I clean my Glycerin Flex trainers?
Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the weight of a single Brooks Glycerin Flex shoe?
A single shoe weighs approximately 258 grams.
What type of surface are these trainers best for?
These trainers are best suited for running and training on asphalt and other hard, paved surfaces.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on these shoes?
The heel-to-toe drop is 6 mm.
How durable is the DNA TUNED cushioning?
The DNA TUNED cushioning is designed for durability and responsiveness. However, like all running shoes, its optimal performance typically lasts between 300-500 miles before replacement is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure you have the correct size by checking measurements before purchase.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
While the DNA TUNED foam is durable, its responsiveness may decrease after extensive use (typically over 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes when performance noticeably degrades.
Discomfort on uneven terrain.
These shoes are optimized for smooth surfaces. For trail running or varied terrain, consider a shoe with more aggressive tread and support features.
