Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin StealthFit 20

A massive step forward in the Glycerin series. The 20 is fast, responsive, lightweight and ridiculously comfortable. The Stealthfit version is the only way to go in my opinion. Love, love, love this update!

As someone getting into middle age, this type of comfort shoe is appealing to me more and more. I wear a size 10 and it was true to size for me, there was plenty of toe space without feeling oversized. The shoes are so extremely comfortable compared to anything else that I have previously tried. As you would expect, you do give up some feel of the ground under your feet with this amount of cushion, so I would stick with level, manmade tracks and streets versus any off road conditions. The support of the woven upper works great with all the cushion to keep your feet from sliding around. It is able to feel snug without pushing down the tips of the toes and without any hard plastic to press into your foot. If your feet begin to fatigue due to hitting the ground hard on longer runs, the cushioning in these shoes will likely help you keep going and feel better the next day. They are great for any distance of a run and could help get someone into running for the first time or back into it after some time away. You cannot overstate how comfortable these shoes are.

I absolutely love this shoe! It goes great with everything and I haven't taken it off since getting it about 2 weeks ago. It doesn't show dirt easily due to the fabric style, which I desperately need in my field. So many neat things to like about this shoe though: Great durability with the cool integrated string-style loop eyelets that really allow you to lock yourself into the shoe; the tongue is also integrated into the rest of the shoe so you don't get that migration of it to the side; the material is breathable and flexible as well. It's lightweight with great cushioning on the heel. I also like the proximal edge that wraps around your ankle like an elastic sock piece, very nice touch! And little things like the loop on the back to help with donning, and the reinforced toe, that just add to its quality build, and the thought and innovation that went into this shoe. The toe box is nice and wide for my large foot, too wide for my prosthetic foot. But it provides a wider base of support than most other shoes. Only complaint is I wish it had more arch support! Other than that, my new favorite go to shoe for everything!

The cushioning is absolutely the first thing I noticed with these shoes. It's an incredible amount of cushion. So much so that I don't feel my heel striking hardly at all. I have gotten in the habit of running toe to heel when going faster but these shoes were so soft in the heel that it felt better to run heel to toe in them. These shoes fit my feet snuggly but with enough flexibility that they don't feel restrictive at all. They are light and comfortable and the size felt like what I would want and expect in a running shoe. Personally, I liked the support of the shoe, they fit my foot's natural arch well for walking around the neighborhood and for longer runs on the treadmill. I'm a casual runner but I'd have to say by far these are the best shoes I have run in. I'm very thankful to have them.

Light weight fits good. Only issue is feel pressure on Right foot front side not sure its me or some manufacture issue. Because its very soft takes little time to wear it.

Shoe is a good running shoe. It fits well and is easy to put on. Cushioning is great. Shoe is new, so I don't know how it will hold up, but it seems to be built to last a long time. Shoe is comfortable and at no time did it give me any discomfort or feel like parts of it needed to be broken in. I would but another pair with no hesitation.

These are great shoes, very comfortable. I recently started developing a bunion so I wish they had a bit more room in the toe box. This is my 3rd pair of Glycerin shoes. However, I am disappointed that the newest version has too much cushion and I won't be able to wear them going forward. The added cushion in the newest version makes my heal go down which makes my toes rub against the top of the shoes. I wish they would go back to this amount of cushion on this shoe.

I like them. Fit is good. Forefoot cushioning is good too. Not very sexy to look at. They have a 10mm drop and I switched from a 5mm shoe in hopes of alleviating heel and calf pain. Have not yet helped in that regard but I'll give them some more miles.

I love the Glycerin sneaker, but not a huge fan of the StealthFit. The model in general seems to run a good half size smaller than my other Glycerins. I wear a 9-10 (9 in sandals/heels, 10 in boots or hiking shoes), sneakers 1 0.5 because of my high arch, but in the StealthFit my toe goes right to the end and there's no wiggle room for expansion. I do like the way they hug my feet, but the sizing/length is considerably off.

Overall, the shoe is comfortable. The Stealth design allows for easy on/off, but without an ankle sock, the opening of the shoe can rub your ankle.

Very cushy. These shoes are comfortable and soft right out of the box.

Very Nice Shoe for daily walks or jogs. Super comfortable with decent amount of arch support. Very easy to wear.

I always got the Glycerin. Now that you came out with the Stealth Fit , they are my new go to . Please don't change them . This is my 2nd Pair and I noticed they wear much better . I get more mileage out of them .

These are great running shoes. They're comfortable, extremely light, and perfect for people looking to upgrade their running gear. They quickly became my go-tos for running and training (jumping rope) primarily because it felt like I wasn't wearing any shoes to begin with, that's how comfortable and light these are. It's summer so it's really hot outside, and the shoe has remained cool with great airflow. The show fits like a sock, which at first I wasn't too sure about, but the flexibility that provides definitely made me realize how much I enjoyed that rather than a very stiff shoe. The sole and cushion is one of the best I've had. Extremely light and added a great bounce to my steps. I didn't like the shoe laces. They kept coming undone much easier than I expected and I had to stop and re-tie my shoes multiple times until I decided to double knot, which then meant it was more difficult to take off later. The design also leaves room for improvement as they're not the most stylish of shoes so wearing them for anything other than running or training is really out. Not a big deal since that's why you'd buy them anyway, but might look a bit weird if you just want to be comfortable walking around town or running errands. Overall I think these are fantastic shoes for running and training and have definitely made their way to the top of my list.

The sole of the shoes were SUPER comfy. The cushion around the ball of my foot was especially felt. However, after wearing for a while (and giving them multiple wears), the shoes began to irritate my heel area. No blisters, just a rubbing discomfort. Sadly, I had to return them.

Did not realize it was the 20. The 21 fit so much better and help with my arthritic foot and the stetch. I threw the box out before I realized they were not the same. They do not feel half as good on my feet as the 21's. Maybe they are on for someone but I prefer the 21

Run small. Not as comfortable as my asics. Won't be buying again.

Comfortable but for me I prefer a little more arch support

They are very comfortable. I definitely like them. However, I did not know about the different "slip on" nature. While I am ok with it, I would prefer to have the traditional tongue and lace tie.
