[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am really impressed with the Glycerin Flex tennis shoes. The landings feel soft and cushioned, and the toe-offs are smooth and easy. The tuned foam definitely has a distinct feel—supportive without feeling heavy. These shoes move really well with my feet and are super flexible while still supportive. I feel more in control when I run, and they help me stay tuned in to my movement. What really stands out is the comfort—I can wear them all day, around the house or for fitness, and my feet never feel sore. Plus, I love the pink and white design. They’re stylish, comfortable, and easily one of the most comfortable shoes I’ve worn. I will definitely be ordering more of these type of shoes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been able to wear this shoe running, walking and working multiple 8+ hour shifts. I have given this shoe a 4/5 overall rating because I feel that this shoe is very versatile and overall comfortable for all activities, I used it for. I am a neutral runner/walker so I never felt unstable or unsupported in this shoe. While running in this shoe I could feel the flexibility, allowing my foot to move in a natural way. I think this shoe is going to be best for a consumer with a neutral gait, looking for a comfortable every day running/walking shoe. Thus far, the durability and materials are looking like they will be great! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been looking for the right pair of running shoes - these are it! I have never found a pair of shoes that make the landing feel like a pillow on my heels. I am feeling less impact through my knees and ankles during my run, allowing me to increase my mileage. With the amount of support these shoes provide, you would think that they would be stiff as boards. Absolutely not! The shoe moves perfectly along with my foot through the stride. Not to mention, they’re cute as can be. I love the pops of color that sprout from the white body and the colorful soles.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love these shoes. They feel really good on your feet with just the perfect amount of cushion. The toe box is very spacious, so my toes don’t get cramped while I’m running. They have the second Loop at the top to do the runners tie. Bonus that they look beautiful. There’s a lot of ventilation on these shoes. Sometimes when I’m running, I have to loosen the laces on my shoes because the tongue digs into my feet, but the flex in these shoes have not given me that issue. These shoes tie up beautifully and just feel like a giant hug for your feet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Glycerin Flex delivers smooth, controlled landings with a responsive toe-off that feels well balanced. The tuned foam absorbs impact without feeling soft or unstable, giving the shoe a distinct, refined ride. The flexibility is noticeable and works naturally with your foot, especially through transitions. It feels supportive without being restrictive, allowing the shoe to move with you rather than against you. I feel more in control and “tuned in” while running in these compared to other cushioned shoes I’ve tried. What really stands out is how plush yet agile they feel — comfortable, flexible, and responsive all at once.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are extremely versatile and can be worn casually, on a run or doing gym workouts. It performs well for long walks, which I mainly use my shoes for. I loved how sleek the design was and how comfortable and light they feel. They feel like you’re just wearing socks! The knit material is stretchy and the shoes are true to size. One minor complaint - the inner seam of the shoe tongue can be uncomfortable since the seams will curl and fold. I got the white/gum color! So cute and was easy to clean.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just want to start off my review saying this is my new favorite pair of running shoes. They are absolutely amazing and I’m so happy I own them. The cushion on them has changed the comfort level in my running. I’m not sure the best way to explain it, but they allow my feet to run with a more natural feel. Running with these shoes feels smoother and I’ve been running longer distances than before. I’ve never had sore feet or aches after wearing these. I don’t own running shoes like these, the cushion makes them very unique in my opinion. They offer fantastic support! Not only do they feel so good to walk and run in, but they are super cute! I love the pink and I’ve already gotten several compliments on how nice they look! I can’t recommend these shoes enough to any runner!! They would also be great for daily wear!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Glycerin flex are by the most comfortable running shoes I’ve ran in within the within the past 5 years. They fit true to size, have a supportive mid foot without feeling tight. The toe box has the perfect amount of room. What I love the most about these glycerin flex is when I’m running outdoors or on the treadmill, the foam has a fantastic bounce that makes the landings comfortable and gives that extra propulsion when coming off your toes. The flex fabric is perfect. Breathable and really comfortable while still feeling supportive during my runs. They are super comfortable and are not clunky! Which is a huge plus for me. I have nothing bad to say about these runners. In fact, I suffer from periformis pain and I’ve ran 60 miles so far in these and I’ve had zero flare ups! These are my go to and will be for a long time!
Love this shoe for my runs. It probably is in my top 3 favorite running shoes of all time. Great movement and support from strike to toe-off. I wish there was an option for a wide, as I need more space in the toe box for my foot to splay. As for a workout shoe, it’s a good shoe for metcons that have 800+ meter runs and plyometrics within them. However, if you are doing any type of lifting at about 65%+ of your 1RM or exercises (like a single-leg RDL) in which you need more stability, this shoe has a little too much cushion. I also prefer a lower heel-drop to feel more connected to the ground while lifting. As for design, for an everyday look, it is a bit more bulky looking than what I typically go for, but I do love the look of a crisp white shoe. All-in-all, this is a solid running shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Light, comfortable and very flexible. I feel my foot gets more range in motion with each step. Feels like you are barely wearing any sneakers, yet they are supportive and give good range in motion.
