FAQs

Who is the Brooks Glycerin Flex designed for?

The Brooks Glycerin Flex is ideal for neutral runners seeking a highly cushioned and flexible road running shoe. It's suitable for daily miles, longer runs, and runners who appreciate a soft yet responsive feel.

What makes the cushioning unique in this shoe?

It features Brooks' DNA TUNED nitrogen-infused midsole. This technology uses a dual-cell construction with larger cells in the heel for soft impact absorption and smaller cells in the forefoot for energetic toe-offs and smooth transitions.

How does the flexibility benefit my run?

The FlexZone technology, including an asymmetrical midfoot groove and podular forefoot design, allows the shoe to move naturally with your foot. This facilitates your natural motion path, providing flexibility without sacrificing support.

Is the upper material breathable?

Yes, the updated flat-knit upper is designed to be soft, breathable, and flexible, wrapping the foot securely while allowing air circulation to keep feet cool.

Does this shoe contain recycled materials?

Yes, the upper construction incorporates 62.8% recycled materials, contributing to sustainability efforts.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

While they can handle very light, well-maintained trails, they are primarily designed for road running. The outsole grip and cushioning are optimized for paved surfaces.

How should I clean my Brooks Glycerin Flex trainers?

Clean them using a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and cool water. Avoid machine washing. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel stiff initially

This is common with new shoes. Wear them for several short runs to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot's natural motion.

Feet feel too warm during runs

Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks. The flat-knit upper is breathable, but sock choice can impact overall temperature regulation.

Slight squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and midsole. Try removing the insole, checking for debris, and reinserting it firmly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might also help.

Uneven wear on the outsole

Examine your running form and stride. This shoe is designed for neutral pronation; if you overpronate or supinate significantly, these may not be the ideal shoe for your gait, leading to uneven wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear running shoes. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they fit comfortably. It is recommended to wear them for a short walk or jog initially to get accustomed to the cushioning and flexibility.

Compatibility: Designed primarily as a road running shoe for neutral runners. They are compatible with various running socks and apparel. While they can handle light trails, their optimal performance is on paved surfaces.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and cool water with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
