FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathons?
Yes, the Glycerin Flex is built for high-mileage road running and provides the cushioning necessary for long-distance comfort.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for road running, the flexible sole is optimized for forward motion; they may provide less stability for lateral gym movements.
How should I clean my Brooks Glycerin Flex?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth for spots. Never put them in a washing machine or dryer.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Brooks Glycerin Flex features a 6mm drop.
Is this shoe good for flat feet?
This is a neutral shoe. If you have flat feet and require arch support, you may need to add a custom orthotic or consult a professional.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during runs
Ensure your gait is neutral; the shoe is designed for neutral runners and may not provide enough support for those requiring stability features.
Midsole foam feels less responsive
Check the mileage; running shoes typically lose their energy return properties after 300-500 miles and may require replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin Flex trainers, it is important to handle them with proper care. First, ensure you select the correct size; as a neutral running shoe, the fit should be snug in the midfoot with enough room in the toe box to allow for natural foot swelling during exercise. For maintenance, keep the shoes away from extreme heat, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can compromise the structural integrity of the nitrogen-infused foam. If they get wet or muddy, clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap, and allow them to air-dry naturally at room temperature with the laces loosened and the insole removed.
