Here’s what you need to know about the cushioned, flexible running shoe.

$170.00Nordstrom$129.95$170.00Brooks RunningNow 24% offThe Brooks Glycerin Flex is a cushioned running shoe that bends and moves with your foot instead of feeling stiff. Its soft foam sole gives each step a plush landing while still feeling light and springy, and the flexible middle lets your foot move more naturally. The breathable mesh upper keeps air flowing on longer runs or busy days, and the removable insole adds arch support.

It’s comfortable enough for daily runs but works just as well for walks, errands or long days on your feet. The durable rubber sole is partly made from recycled materials. Most reviewers say the shoe fits true to size, though a few note it can run slightly large, so if you are in between sizes, you can likely size down.
