Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin StealthFit 20

GREAT cushioning; runs large in size -- I normally wear 11-1/2; was told to buy a 12-1/2. I thought that would be too large, and went with a 12. That still a bit long, but the shoe is so wide, the length is the least of my problems. Good thing I use it for walking, not running.

The toe box is too narrow for my feet. I have adjusted as far as it goes

I have been an adrenaline wearer for years and wanted to try another model unfortunately these are not good for my foot. They are a little loose. I do like the look but will most likely go back to the adrenaline.

These shoes feel comfortable but I agree with others about the durability. The top support is light because it a thin fabric liner but it does not off confidence that it will hold onto the base for long. Also the tongue is starting to fray and it hasn't been a full month since getting them. Pros: comfortable sole, light Cons: poor integrity, feels slightly structurally unsound, noticeable wear < 30 days of use

I have always loved the glycerins, and the stealth fit looks pretty cool, but the functionality for running is poor. The upper sock portion doesn't provide any ankle support so after a few miles I had some old injuries start to flare up. I still think the shoe feels great and I will be using it for work, but not my favorite road shoe. I'm sure the regular one is still wonderful.

There is a design problem with the lacing of this shoe. While previous laces were thicker and stayed in place, these thinner lace design moves during the run and changes the fit/comfort tightening up at the top.

The tongue is different than any other shoe I know. You can't slip them on, and when you try it pushes my socks up. That's the reti returned them.

At first the show was comfortable and I thought I had finally found a shoe that was going to be the right fit for me. Wore it for a day and had a blister form on one of my heels. I put mole skin on and continued to wear them but I think they weren't going to fit right no matter what after that. I ended up returning them and moved on to another brand.

I have been wearing the Glycerin exclusively (usually 3 pairs per year) for the last 6 years. I am going on my 4th pair of Glycerin 20, so I decided to change it up with the StealthFit. I tried them for 2 days to see if they would grow on me, but I had to send back my first pair of Brooks. They have the same great cushion of the regular Glycerin, but these are the negatives in my opinion: 1) They felt bulky 2) They felt really tight around the ankle 3) There was too much movement on the front side on my feet I still love the cushion of the Glycerin, but I will be going back to the original version

I'm going to have to send them back. They're supposed to be medium width and they're too wide and the size is also too large. 12s feel like 14s. My feet are swimming in them. The strings are way too long. At least by about 6 feet. I got them for work at the warehouse and there's no way all day in these on cement floors. Not nearly sturdy or supportive enough.

My review is simply based on how my feet felt. For some reason my left foot felt a lot of pressure on my arch, I could hardly walk in these shoes because of this issue. I could have tried a new insole but a brand-new one should have no issues.

This review may be awfully specific to certain circumstances but I hope it may help another runner. 1. This shoe is very slippery in wet conditions. I took them on a couple of road and sidewalk runs after some rain - the pavement itself felt slick, however anytime I hit a plastic crosswalk indicator I may have well been stepping onto an ice rink. 2. I was trying to upgrade my extremely old Saucony Ride 8 (these have a lot of miles on them and any cushion is flat at this point), and I only otherwise walk/hike in zero-drop altras. Running in these really messed up my knees, lower back, and legs. I'm going to attribute this to the heel to toe drop these have on them... which is in stark contrast to my other shoes. I should have known better but I didn't - hoping this may help anyone else in a similar situation to stick with zero drop if that's what you're accustomed too, and praying my very tender tendons recover. Otherwise I really wanted to like these shoes.

Poor quality. Fabric ripped on second wear. Brooke's is great and took them back but we aren't going to buy another of this style.

I normally wear the ghost or the adrenaline order these because the price was right probably the worst shoe I have ever owned. They have a giant lump under the area that makes them very uncomfortable.

I am sending these shoes back ASAP. My heels feel as if they are coming up on every step. The soft material around the top is poor, there is space as this material is stretched out. Terrible fit. Great colors but not the shoe for me

They are not wide enough, they are to tight by the toes

I tried these shoes on a couple short runs of about 10k, and every time I got blisters on my feet. Not a comfortable shoe at all.

The shoe is much harder to get on my feet. I don't see any benefit.

they fell apart. Didnt meet what my last pair dis for me. very disappointed

Don't like them. Didn't realize they had elastic around the ankles rather than the standard foot entry. Looks cheap, doesn't appear that it will last long. I have five pair of Brooks running shoes, these were the most expensive but the worst overall.
