FAQs

What type of runner is the Glycerin Flex best suited for?

The Glycerin Flex is best suited for adult male runners with a neutral foot strike who primarily run on roads and are looking for comfort and smooth transitions during everyday training.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

No, these shoes are specifically designed for road running. The outsole and tread pattern are not optimized for the varied and often uneven terrain of trails, which could lead to reduced grip and potential injury.

How do I know if I have a neutral foot strike?

A neutral foot strike means your foot lands on the outside of the heel and rolls slightly inward to absorb shock. If your wear pattern on old shoes is relatively even, particularly on the ball of the foot and outer heel, you likely have a neutral gait.

What is the expected lifespan of these running shoes?

Like most running shoes, the Brooks Glycerin Flex is typically expected to last between 300 to 500 miles of running, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. Regular inspection for wear and tear is recommended.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these running shoes are not waterproof. They are designed for breathability and comfort during runs, which means they will not keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

How should I clean my Glycerin Flex shoes?

Gently brush off loose dirt. For a deeper clean, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Air dry them away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing during runs

Ensure the laces are tied correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit. Try wearing different thickness socks. If the issue persists, verify you have the correct shoe size and width for your feet.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The cushioning may naturally compress after significant mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in shock absorption and comfort.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for road surfaces and may have reduced traction on very wet, smooth surfaces. Exercise caution and ensure your stride is adapted to the conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: Designed for neutral runners with a road running focus. They are compatible with most standard running socks.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can degrade the adhesives and materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in damp conditions or direct sunlight.
