Just got these and wearing around house. So far, I love them. Very lightweight the insoles are pretty good considering I’ve had a big foot surgery so I usually use my own insoles which should be just fine. Lots of cushioning, which I love too. I bought the beige and they look great too. I might buy another pair for just running around, house work etc. these are for the gym

The shoe fit and was a nice look, but the external sole of the shoe was just too soft and cushy and did not provide the stability I prefer. I had to return these.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered these. I love the Glycerin well except the 22's. The 23's are back to being wide. I ordered these for speed workouts as they're light but still have enough cushion. I absolutely love them. They're stiffer than the Glycerin 23's and a tad bit more narrow but for speed work they're awesome. I love the flex, cushion, and how springy they're. I found them still wide enough that my toes have room to move and found the cushion had enough stiffness and cushion to make them the perfect speed shoe. I will be trying them at Hyrox Cancun in a week but I believe they will be the perfect shoe for Hyrox too.

Excellent overall comfort and fit except for the length. I tend to be between 7 and 7.5 in running shoes, lately choosing 7.5 more often. But this shoe seems to be a little longer than recent purchases. Will try 7 instead.

I bought these shoes for speedwork as they're very light compared to my Glycerin 21 and 23. They're perfect for my speedwork days and worked amazing for two Hyrox races in Cancun. I ran in both rain and hot sunny humidity. The toe box is roomy, the grip perfect for sled push/pulls, and the light weight perfect for running. These are my new favorite for any race below 10 miles. They have a decent amount of cushion for how light they're. I still prefer my Glycerin for longer runs.

I like the elasticity of the heel and the ability to pull on quickly. I am not a fan of the comfort of the arch but that is because all I have worn for several years is the Adrenaline. The longer laces are nice.

The most comfortable and supportive sneaker I've ever had. My shoe size is 6 but I always go up 1/2 size for sneakers and 6.5 was perfect. No break in time needed. I have a narrow foot/heel and these are perfect.

These have become my gym shoe and work shoes. Im a nurse and they are so light on my feet while providing comfort for long shifts. The first time I wore them, I got so many compliments.

I purchased the Glycerine Flex at Scheels, couldn't wait to try them, I have wide feet, I wear a 6.5 wide the flex doesn't come in wide, but I tried on the 6.5 regular & the toe box is wide, so if you have wide feet, the regular works , I love these shoes from the moment I put them on, I 100% recommend the Glycerine Flex,

A soft comfortable shoe. I fluctuate between 8 1/2 and 9. I got the 9 and it’s perfect. Hugs my foot, and nothing pushing or pulling. Best Brooks shoe I’ve put on my foot!

I am not a runner but have been wearing brooks for work the last 5 years working in healthcare and on my feet most of the day. The flex are wonderful! I am normally a size 8 but the last few pairs of brooks I've purchased seemed to run a bit small so I sized up to an 8.5. The half size up works great. There is just a slight bit of room in the toe box when wearing my medium weight brooks socks. The slight extra room is wonderful for warmer temperatures or long days when I sometimes get just a bit of swelling on my feet and they don't feel too tight when that happens.

I love this shoe! I run 30-40 miles a week, with lots of hills, Ive been running in carbon plated shoes for a while and felt my stride was more clunky and my feet and ankles were getting stiffer. This shoe allows a more natural gait, but still provides stability from pronation at the very end of my stride. I use it 2-3x a week, both for hills and daily runs.

I was so excited about the new Flex. I’m a long time fan of the Glycerin Stealthfit and I have quite a few generations of the line. The Glycerin has been a fabulous running shoe, and I have very comfortable runs in them. I’ve started buying other brands, however, because I need a shoe that provides more than just decent cushioning for running at the gym. I thought the Flex would do that for me because of its design. Out of the box, however, I’m not so sure these are a keeper. I size up to begin with (from an 8 to a 9) but I feel like I need to size up from my size up (to a 9.5). The tongue also seems like it’s going to be a problem, either because it seems challenged to lay flat and also because it also comes up high, which could irritate. I’m also worried that I’m sacrificing some overall stability with these.
