Men's Brooks Brooks Glycerin Flex

5.0/5
(1)
The Brooks Glycerin Flex blends soft cushioning with enhanced flexibility to allow the shoe to move naturally with your foot while remaining rigid enough through the platform to help prevent excessive pronation. This creates a smooth ride that feels fluid without becoming sloppy. The cushioned DNA Tuned midsole delivers a plush underfoot feel, while the flexible outsole geometry promotes easy heel-to-toe movement. With an S-groove through the midsole, the forefoot and rear foot have been decoupled from one another, allowing your stride to flex in a way that feels natural. Above your foot, a breathable, adaptive upper wraps the foot comfortably, allowing natural motion without pressure points. The Brooks Glycerin Flex is ideal for runners who value comfort but want a more natural, dynamic feel on daily runs and casual miles.

  • Great underfoot feel
  • "Flex" design of midsole / Outsole really brings extra life to this foam
  • Very versatile in distance and speed use
  • Comfortable upper
  • Good grip
Cons
  • Flex outsole/midsole design can be a rock catcher
  • Price point - feel like Brooks missed a chance to come in lower and really make a splash
  • Forefoot and insole may need broken in a bit before doing a full marathon =)

5.0/5

Summary

Brooks is a sponsor of the Houston Marathon and had the new Flex available for purchase early. I tried them on and knew pretty quickly that I wanted them. I even gambled and did that thing you aren't supposed to do, I ran the marathon in them.
