Brooks  Glycerin Flex Road-Running Shoes - Men's

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just received my Glycerin Flex and couldn’t wait for the snow to melt so I went straight to the local gym and ran for an hour on the treadmill. The support is superb, and even though more break in time will be needed it felt comfortable right away even for a 200 pounder like myself. For the first time ever it felt like my foot kept contact with the insert throughout the entire stride cycle. The Flex groove between forefoot and heel makes all the difference in the world. Be aware that if you have a wider foot the toe box might feel narrow. I don’t have a wide foot (about 4.5 inches across widest part) but the shoe is snug yet comfortable. I highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Book's Glycerin Flex has been an extremely comfortable shoe for various activities. I spend most of the day on my feet as a healthcare worker, and these shoes have provided the cushion and support needed to last the entire day, allowing me to seamlessly transition into after-work workouts/activities with no issues or need to change shoes. They provide the needed support and structure for running/jogging, although they aren't the most conducive shoes for lower extremity weight lifting or agility type training, as they don't feel quite as supportive laterally relative to the Brooks Ghost line. Overall very attractive shoe in my opinion, just wish they had more colors at this point.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was always a big Nike guy when it comes to running but when I was able to try these shoes out I was really impressed. This will most likely be my go to running shoe moving forward. The comfort and breathability are great on this shoe. The flexible upper keeps your food snug and secure without being too tight and I have wide feet and my feet felt comfortable in these. The mid sole is great just the right amount of cushioning without being too bulky or unstable. I used these mainly for running some light strength training workouts and they performed great. I also used them at work standing on my feet for 9+ hours of the day and my feet felt great. Overall great experience and great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free to test and write an honest review. As a trainer I am on my feet a lot and continually demonstrating exercises. These didn’t just look nice, they provided great stability with lateral movements with a secure feel at the ankles and spacious toe box. They worked outstanding for most of my workouts, although I recommend really getting a lifting type shoe for Olympic lifts. Although these would do the job fairly well, hard to beat a lifter. What you cannot do with a lifter is run. These shoes not only helped with lifting, but I was able to run 5k distances, and short sprints just as well. Over as a trainer or just someone who exercises regularly in a gym, these get the job done.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really love these Glycerin Flex running shoes. They are really comfortable and feel great on my weekly runs. The flexible and soft outer portion of the shoe is unique and unlike any of my past running shoes. This material and portion of the shoes feel great on the sides and top of my foot, while also giving my feel the feeling of being supported. They also have a nice bounce to them and each stride feels like you’re popping into the next one. It gives me the feeling like I’m supposed to be out there running and like my feet are working easier.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been a different shoe than my typical choice of the Adrenaline but it's been a welcome change. Very comfortable and versatile shoe. Soft feel that is not slow. Nice flexible wear and very durable for what I can tell so far. Has been comfortable on the road and in the gym. I like the style a lot but would prefer a different color pattern than all white for myself personally but it did grow on me. If you're looking for versatility this is a great shoe. * I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brooks got the cushion for that pushing. They are great for running the trails. I'm a beginner trail runner and haven't had shoes like this with so much cushion, I prefer to feel my feet to the ground and be able to move. These needed a little getting use to but are great once I did. No need to break them in. The shoes help cushion the impact from the ground and rocks. The flexibility and design of the shoes is great. The shoe hugs my feet. The tread of the shoe makes it extremely flexible. The knit makes it breathable. Design and color is subtle, the neon green blends in with the white and the knit holes of the shoes and have a hint of black. Compared to the Glycerin GTS 23 they feel the same with the support but the tread on this makes it more flexible.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to put this shoes on , after a few runs they truly stood out for their comfort and performance, the enhanced flexibility allows the feet to move naturally trough each stride, creating a natural flow from heel to toe. The responsive cushioning provides excellent energy return while delivering maximum cushioning making them ideal for both long and short runs. Their platform is very stable and adds confidence under foot even at higher paces, very easy to put on and off without sacrificing a secure fit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good Golly Miss Molly! These things are incredible! I have been in the Glycerin family of shoes for a little while now, Max, 23's, etc. These quickly became my favorite. My foot just prefers a little more flex in a shoe. The max, while more cushioned in the forefoot, is a little stiff. I do not find that they sacrifice much, if any, stability. If you're curious, I recommend giving them a try!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall I give the shoe a 4/5 the only due to the slightly narrow fit on it. The first day I got it I took it out for a half marathon and actually set a PR in them. The shoe feels great for both slower and faster running, corners well, and was overall very comfortable. The flexibilty in the mid/forefoot does give it a more natural feel whole the thicker block of foam in the back makes for an overall smooth ride. The only issue for me is that slightly narrow fit which caused blistering near my big toe joint and arch of the foot right next to it. I removed the insole to free up some space which has helped reduce rubbing in that area but has not eliminated it. I generally go 10.5 for running shoes to allow that extra space, but would like to see a slightly wider version of this shoe. I would highly reccomend this shoe to anyone looking for a good daily trainer assuming you're not someone with wide feet!
