Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin Flex running shoes are designed for adult male runners seeking a flexible and smooth ride on the road, for everyday runs, long distances, or gym workouts. Their key benefit is the innovative cushioning combined with a midfoot flex groove for a seamless transition from landing to toe-off. A potential consideration is that the flexibility may not suit runners who prefer a very rigid shoe structure.

FAQs
What type of runner is the Glycerin Flex best for?
The Glycerin Flex is ideal for neutral runners who enjoy a flexible, smooth ride, particularly for road running, everyday mileage, and long runs. It's also suitable for gym workouts.
How does the FlexZone™ technology work?
FlexZone™ technology is integrated into the midsole to provide targeted flexibility in the midfoot, allowing your foot to move through its natural motion path more efficiently.
What is the difference between Glycerin and Glycerin Flex?
While both offer plush cushioning, the Glycerin Flex specifically incorporates a midfoot flex groove and FlexZone™ technology for enhanced flexibility and a smoother transition compared to the standard Glycerin model.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These shoes are primarily designed for road running and gym use. Their tread and construction are not optimized for the varied terrain and debris found on trails.
How much recycled material is used?
The upper construction of the Brooks Glycerin Flex contains approximately 62.8% recycled materials.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The midsole drop on the Brooks Glycerin Flex is 6mm.
How should I clean my Glycerin Flex shoes?
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry completely away from heat.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to air pockets between shoe layers. Try wearing the shoes for a few more runs to see if it resolves naturally. If not, ensure the insoles are seated correctly.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Cushioning can naturally compress with extensive use. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes if you run frequently to extend the life of the cushioning.
Fit feels too snug or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern to better suit your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct UK size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.
