Stylish With Great Cushion

I love everything about my new Glycerins. They have lots of cushion and are very stylish. They don’t make my feet look huge. Best pair of Brooks yet!

Great Shoe, Bad Tongue Design

I was a devoted fan of the Glycerin Stealthfit because the top of my feet are very sensitive. I was excited to try this new iteration that replaced the Stealthfit. Overall the Flex is a better sneaker than the Stealthfit in so many ways BUT the tongue. I can’t understand why it’s not attached. It takes me more time than it should to get this shoe on comfortably because I have to adjust the tongue several times. The seams on the edges of the tongue curl under so trying to get it to lay flat on the top of my foot is a challenge. I enjoy the Flex because I like a lot of foot feel on the road, but it’s still very cushy. But please Brooks attach the tongue, thin out the edges or even use the Stealthfit upper to improve it.

Expected More

I was initially excited to try out these shoes. They were given as a gift. I walked in them 2-3 times to "break them in." Today I went for a run on roads and sidewalks and the whole outside part of my right foot hurt after from the rubbing/compression. They err on being too narrow, not just in the toe, but everywhere and the heel part rubs. (Also I could not fit my usually orthotic in there without it feeling like my foot was being pushed out) Today's run was without orthotics in fyi

I Love Them!

I’ve been loving these shoes! I use them for my long runs and they’ve been super comfortable, lightweight, supportive, and cushioned without feeling heavy. They keep my feet feeling great even on longer distances. They also match my style perfectly, so they’ve quickly become one of my favorites.

Love My Brooks

I bought these sneakers because i have flippers. No really flippers i can swim wicked fast. But my feet hurt in most sneakers. Not these Brooks…I love them. Great for walking, great for working just awesome!

EricaL

I really like this shoe. I had purchased another pair that was also a Brooks shoe (don't remember which style it was) and I returned it because I liked this one much better. I also love the colors. I have arthritis in both knees and they are very comfortable to walk in. The other pair that I ordered was a wide width and when I got this one, it was not wide but I was able to get it on without any issues and it is very comfortable.

Not As Comfortable As Expected

Not comfortable. My calf’s were hurting. The support was minimal. It needs to be much better.

Just Right Like Goldilocks

I was crushed over the Glycerin Stealth Fit 21 changing then discontinued. I did not think I would find anything I like as much and certainly not better. Then here we are. I walk 30 minutes a day at 2.0. As well as a 40 minute strength workout. I wear my Brooks all day every day in the house. I usually have 3 pair. One for inside, one for errands, and one to walk the dogs. If my shoes are not just right my back will go out. That is why I walk. I also have to work around a bone spur in my foot with a bunion. These are the most perfect shoe for this Goldilocks. LOL. But seriously they are perfect. They are not too cushiony (Like Hoka), they are not too firm, they are just right. The flexibility as in the name is perfect as well. They look so nice. I as you can tell am not a Hoka fan. They do not work for me (Hoka) and wish they were never created as EVERY company I have liked, New Balance, ASICS and even Brooks seems to have followed Hoka. I like a sleek comfortable shoe that I will not trip over. THANK YOU Brooks for creating the Glycerin Flex. Now please do not change it or I have to stockpile AGAIN. :)

Favorite

At first, I was not sure. I usually do not do anything with a cushion. But after wearing them for awhile, they are my go to shoes. Very comfortable and light weight. By far the best of what I have tried previously.

Awesome Shoes

I never thought shoes would help me walk. I've had plantar fasciitis for about a year and I've tried every brand and none of them helped! I walk with my daughter in the stroller and then I'm on my feet for nine hours at work. With other shoes I can't do that !! Definitely i gonna get more colors !! I love them so much

Very Disappointed

These shoes were a birthday gift to myself. I hesitated with the price, but I was told they were great for walking. I wore them three times, then my second time wearing them I took them to Disneyland. OMG 💔 Ouch. I got the biggest blister ever. I'm diabetic this really scared me. I have pictures.

Loving This Shoe

Great Shoe! Very flexible -hence the name implies. I always enjoyed the Stealth-Fit glycerin and this reminds me of that shoe. Kind of a cross of the old Brooks Pure line and the Stealth fit. Sock like feel and soft but supportive step in. Can run on the narrow side but I have had not issues and the outside knot seem to form to your foot. I sized up to a women’s 10, which I have done in Brooks the last two years. Will buy in another color as they work well for everyday errands, walking and running. Absolutely no problem going slow to quicker paces. Looks good on the foot and my teenager approves!

All In One!

I don’t write reviews but this shoe deserves one. It is a near perfect all purpose shoe for distance training. It is also a great walking shoe. The pink is beautiful so it will get some non-running use this summer. I have been running in the Ghost 17 and the Hyperion Max 1 and 2. This shoe hits the sweet spot for me.

Fit Well - Replacement Pair

This fit well and are very comfortable but they are a replacement pair for a pair that had the sole start peeling after only a month. This pair seems to be holding up better.
