Glycerin Flex Running Sneaker (Women)

I am not a runner but have been wearing brooks for work the last 5 years working in healthcare and on my feet most of the day. The flex are wonderful! I am normally a size 8 but the last few pairs of brooks I've purchased seemed to run a bit small so I sized up to an 8.5. The half size up works great. There is just a slight bit of room in the toe box when wearing my medium weight brooks socks. The slight extra room is wonderful for warmer temperatures or long days when I sometimes get just a bit of swelling on my feet and they don't feel too tight when that happens.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super cute but the comfort level is not exactly what I was expecting. The balls of my feet hurt by the end of the day after standing on my feet all day so I do not think these will be my go to work shoes but they are cute and comfortable enough to wear for a few hours running errands and have good support for walking.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoe itself is good, I'm sure for someone with normal feet/ankles it would be wonderful. Support is good and if it weren't for the fit in the toe box and ankle on me I think I would've liked them. The Glycerin Stealth Fit were the first Brooks that fit me perfectly and I loved, I have gone through 4-5 pairs of the glycerin stealth fit over the years. For someone with narrow/small ankles and narrow feet they were perfect. My feet would feel great after a 12 hour day walking 6-8 miles as a nurse. But Brooks hasn't put any more of the stealth fit glycerins out, so I tried these ones. It will be really sad if they quit making the stealth fit, it was the first tennis shoe I have ever worn without any issues for months. Please put more glycerin stealth fit out!!

I really wanted to love the shoe. I liked the weight, the cushion, the fact they seemed to take pressure off my forefoot, which I needed on easy days. But after a couple weeks of running in them on easy days, I started getting some fascia/heel pain on my left foot. Possibly from going from 8mm toe drop to 6 mm. Once I switched back to my hyperions full time the heel pain went away. Will maybe try them again when I'm not in a training block.
