Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin Flex

This shoe fits great. I do have wider feet (2E), but it still feels comfortable and I had no issues on a ten mile run right out of the box. I typically favor the Glycerin Max series for my races, but the Ironman prohibits 40mm or higher drops with the Max, so these Flexs will be my go-to Ironman racing shoes. Highly recommended. :)

The fit is good and the shoe is comfortable on my feet. I like the ingenuity that Brooks is showing by creating a shoe like this. At the same time, I'm struggling to see why I need this shoe and how it fits into my routine. I have the Glycerin 23 and the Glycerin Max 2 (as well as the OG Glycerin Max which I like better than the sequel). Maybe if you need a shoe to use in the gym while doing something other than running this could be a good fit, but I feel there are better cross-trainers out there. I'm still giving this five stars, but the Glycerin line is getting a little crowded and the boundaries between the shoes are less and less clear.

There was a definite need for a shoe to fill this space. I supinate and have trouble with even the softest max cushioned trainers. The flex groove/pods make this a truly neutral shoe. Would love to see the same in the Hyperion. Perfect

Love the style, very comfortable and true to size. This was my first pair of shoes (and first product) from Brooks, and Im officially sold. Ill definitely be buying more of their products in the future.

Ive always loved Brooks shoes , but this feels like nothing Ive ever had from them. The cushion matched with the spring forward and comfort around the foot is unmatched.

Very comfortable and stylish

Most comfortable shoe Ive ever worn.

This sho works as advertised. Well cushioned but not too squishy, stable through the mid foot and nice road feel. The upper is a delight. Might not be a speed work shoe but a really nice daily trainer and for long runs.

Softer and more comfortable stride than any other shoe Ive had

The shoes felt good at first but after few days they didnt give me the support I was Expecting. Still a nice shoe but wasnt for me.

Great shoe for every day workout. From long or short runs or gym workouts, the flex is perfect for it all.

Feels great, less cushion than Glycerin Max and more "feel" of the road. The toe box does feel a bit narrow to me.

The feel of the flex is like no other! The bounce from the heel can keep you moving no matter what youre doing, These are, by far, my favorite and the most comfortable sneakers Ive owned in my life. Not just Brooks. Across all brands of sneakers! Wow! Please make a bright orange with a little navy blue color!

My favorite road running shoes to date. These feel surprisingly stable for a maximum cushioning shoe and feel comfortable in all ways. I especially love the uppers, their mesh is forgiving yet snug and form to my foot to keep them locked in but not rubbing, in spite of my wide toe box and narrow heel. I never thought of choosing brooks but in comparison to the competition in the 5-6mm drop category, these are the clear winner for me. Well done brooks!

I love these shoes. They are so comfortable and stable. I am happy that the drop is only 6mm. The fit is perfect for me. There is ample room in the toe box. Nice traction on smooth surfaces in the rain but not on bumpy surfaces. With the extra bounce, my overall pace has dropped by 20 seconds. I am buying more. I do wish there were more solid colors.

I purchased these for my husband. I thought he could use a new pair of walking/jogging shoes. We'll, not only do they look amazing on him, he says they feel good as well. He really likes this style. Thanks again.

received them on Saturday, did my first "break in" run this morning and WOW... I absolutely love them. I usually wear a standard Glycerin (last ones are 22's) and I loved them but thought i'd try these. Supportive, comfortable out of the box and was surprised how naturally my feet adapted to them. Usually it takes a long time for my feet to adapt to new shoes so this was a BIG step forward! The colorway is awesome, its perfect for getting back into some spring running. I was getting tired of wearing black shoes!!! Great job Brooks... more of the same please and keep the great, BRIGHT colorways please!

I got a pair at TRE last December and love the new Flex. It is light with perfect cushioning and response. Wide enough at the toe box to give my toes freedom to absorb each impact. The drop is perfect. What can I say besides "I love the Glycerine Flex". I been running since 1994 and I think this is one of my favorite running shoes. Not to brag, but at 62 years I manage to finish marathons close to 3 hours. Last year I paced 7th on my age group at Comrades Marathon. Have 5 Marathon des Sables (all top 35), 3 Spartathlons 250 km.... and wish I had this shoes before. Thanks Brooks!!

Great quality with comfortable fit. Adjusts to my foot very well while Im running, especially when running up hills.

Runs a little narrow. Starts hurting after 3 miles. Everything else I like though.

This is a lighter, quicker version of the Glycerin.

Love the shoes more and more after each run! Started to really love them after a speed workout
