Product Information
Full details
The BROOKS Glycerin Flex trainers are designed for adult female runners who prioritize a blend of soft cushioning and responsiveness for their daily training sessions. These trainers excel at providing a natural, fluid gait through specialized engineering, though users seeking a rigid stability shoe for overpronation may find the focus on flexibility less supportive for their specific needs.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-arch feet?
Yes, the neutral platform of the Glycerin Flex is generally accommodating for high-arch feet that need consistent cushioning.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While designed primarily for running, their flexible design makes them suitable for light gym activities, though they may lack the lateral support needed for intense side-to-side training.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Most running shoes of this caliber should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are they waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable mesh upper, which is designed for airflow rather than water resistance.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, it is always recommended to size up by half a size if you frequently experience foot swelling during runs.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure points on the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing technique, such as the window lacing method, to relieve pressure on the bridge of the foot.
Excessive movement or heel slippage
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or lock-lacing technique to secure the heel cup more firmly against your ankle.
Rapid wear on the outsole
Check your running form or surface terrain; if you frequently run on abrasive surfaces like concrete, rotating with a shoe having a more rugged tread may help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your BROOKS Glycerin Flex trainers, it is recommended to rotate them with another pair of shoes to allow the cushioning foam to recover its shape between sessions. When fitting, ensure you have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during exercise. If the shoes become dirty, gently remove surface mud with a soft brush and clean with mild soap and cold water; avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as high heat can degrade the cushioning materials and adhesive bonds. Air dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
