FlexZone™ technology provides enhanced flexibility in the midfoot, which helps facilitate the body’s natural motion path during the gait cycle, leading to a smoother stride.

What is the weight and midsole drop of the Glycerin Flex?
The shoe weighs 9.1oz (258.0g) and has a midsole drop of 6mm.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
No, the Glycerin Flex is designed primarily for road running and general training on paved surfaces. It is not intended for technical trail use.
What is the sustainability aspect of these shoes?
The upper of the Brooks Glycerin Flex contains approximately 62.8% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
How should I clean my Glycerin Flex shoes?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use mild soap and cool water. Avoid machine washing and air dry away from direct heat.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct UK size. Try wearing them with your usual running socks. The shoe's fit may also loosen slightly with wear as the materials adapt.
Reduced cushioning or flexibility over time
Clean the shoes as per care instructions. The cushioning and flexibility are designed for longevity, but consistent use on harsh surfaces can accelerate wear. Consider rotation with another pair if you run very high mileage.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for road grip. For very wet conditions, exercise caution as with any footwear. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that could affect traction.
