Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Brooks Glycerin Flex, verify that you have chosen the correct size for your foot shape. Since these are neutral trainers, they pair well with standard neutral running socks. For care, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources like radiators to prevent damage to the foam midsole. If they become dirty, remove excess mud with a soft brush, and hand-wash using mild soap and cold water. Always air dry your trainers naturally with the insoles removed to ensure complete moisture evaporation.
