Brooks Glycerin Flex

The Brooks Glycerin Flex is a shoe designed to offer a balance between cushioning, flexibility, and comfort. This version is geared towards runners looking for a lightweight option with the soft feel that characterizes the Glycerin line, adapting well to different foot strikes and offering excellent responsiveness for daily training or moderate-distance runs.

It's ideal for runners with a neutral gait or those with slight pronation. The Glycerin Flex adapts to both moderate and fast-paced runners and is perfect for distances like 5K, 10K, and half marathons, but can also be used for longer training runs. Its design offers enough comfort to maintain performance over medium distances without compromising lightness and flexibility.

The upper of the Glycerin Flex is made of a lightweight engineered mesh that provides breathability and a more flexible fit. This mesh has an enhanced support structure in key areas, such as the midfoot, helping to keep the foot in place without restriction. The upper also incorporates a support cable system that adjusts to the foot's movements, improving the feeling of security without sacrificing comfort. Ventilation is excellent, keeping the foot cool throughout the run.

The Glycerin Flex's midsole features a more flexible DNA LOFT foam compared to previous models in the line. This foam provides soft yet responsive cushioning, allowing for a smoother, more dynamic transition between strides. Unlike other versions of the Glycerin, the Flex is optimized to offer greater flexibility in foot movement, facilitating a more natural propulsion while running. The DNA LOFT technology extends throughout the entire midsole to ensure consistent and balanced cushioning with every step.

The Glycerin Flex's outsole features an adaptive design that optimizes flexibility and traction. With a durable rubber pattern and enhanced flex zones in the forefoot, it allows runners to experience a smoother transition with each stride. The rubber on the outsole is strategically placed to provide excellent grip on various surfaces, such as asphalt or softer trails. This helps ensure good performance during daily training and races, offering stability without adding unnecessary weight.
