The Brooks Glycerin name is synonymous with the ultimate in running shoe cushioning and comfort.
The collection has evolved over time into four distinct styles under the Glycerin name: the original Glycerin, the Glycerin GTS, the Glycerin Max, and the newest entrant, the Glycerin Flex. Each shoe type offers a distinct experience powered by our nitrogen-infused DNA TUNED technology. Whether you want flexibility, structure, or maximum protection, there’s a Glycerin shoe engineered to provide soft landings and powerful toe-offs for your specific stride. Here is how to find the right Brooks Glycerin shoes for you.
The Glycerin Flex is new for 2026. Designed for the runner who wants to feel uninhibited, it introduces Flexible Support to the lineup, offering a groundbreaking blend of innovative flexibility and plush cushioning. These shoes feature an asymmetrical midfoot flex groove and podular flexibility in the lateral forefoot, which helps facilitate your body’s preferred motion path.
Runners who want their shoes to move with them. If you’re looking to unlock your flow state with a ride that combines sleekness and unparalleled cushioning, the Glycerin Flex helps you tune into your run.
The signature Brooks Glycerin offers Balanced Support. It’s designed for the runner who wants a luxurious ride with inherent stability. The Glycerin features a secure heel and dynamic forefoot to provide a smooth and steady transition. With a traditional offset and a broad platform, they deliver plush landings and powerful toe-offs without extra support technologies.
Runners who want a distraction-free experience. If you have a neutral stride and are looking for supreme softness and responsiveness, the original Glycerin running shoe is a great fit.
The Brooks Glycerin GTS provides Structured Support for runners who want signature luxury with added stability. This model features our holistic GuideRails™ Technology System, which helps keep excess movement in check to protect your knees and feet. These shoes deliver the same plush landings and electric toe-offs as the standard Glycerin model but ensure you move comfortably within your natural motion path.
Runners who need support. If you love a soft, cushioned feel but need help maintaining your stride alignment, a Brooks Glycerin GTS shoe is the ideal choice.
Brooks Glycerin Max shoes are built for Max Support and protection. They feature a boundary-pushing amount of DNA TUNED cushioning and our GlideRoll™ Rocker technology. This combination provides an assisted transition from landing to toe-off, allowing you to run on autopilot. With a high stack height and a lower offset, the Glycerin Max offers maximum softness to help keep your feet and legs buoyant on the go.
Runners who want the ultimate in cushioning. If you’re looking to reduce impact on your body or simply want a fun, springy ride that makes the miles feel easier, the Brooks Glycerin Max is an easy choice.
No matter which Glycerin series shoe you choose, you’ll experience the comfort of DNA TUNED nitrogen-infused foam. Visit our Glycerin series page to explore the full lineup and see the latest colors and styles. If you’re still unsure which level of support is right for you, our Shoe Finder can help.
