First. I just purchased the black/white, and I LOVE the look of this sneaker. The color is so nice. I walked around in them for the first time today. They're pretty cushiony...they fit well. I'd say they're true to size. Sadly...the material around the ankle is kinda scratchy and finger loopy piece at the rear of the ankle is made of something very irritating. I could see it causing a blister once I start running in these unless I wear a higher profile sock...which I think would be unattractive with this style shoe.

I've worn glycerins for years. I returned these because they gave me shin splints. I believe the width is too wide.

Had to return due to excessive pronation. Brooks GTS 18 has worked, so am going to try a different shoe.

For every day use and comfort, they are great, but not good for my feet to walk in at all. I walk from 3-5 miles daily for exercise and they are very hot! My feet get sweaty, slip and slide, and I have blisters on multiple areas of both feet. My feet are not wide, but I think the heels on these shoes are too wide for me.

I don't love the "no tongue, sweater top." They are hard to get on and don't feel like they offer as much ankle support. If I hadn't already worn them I would return.

Did not fit like Brooks shoes I have ordered in the past. The heel area is very wide.

A little wide on my foot compared to my other Brookes pair of running shoes. These are really a cute style, unfortunately I’m returning them as the sides come up over my ankle bone, making them uncomfortable

The upper is really comfortable and these shoes but the shoes felt really unbalanced with a light stretchy top and heavy bulbous bottom. I’ve run in earlier versions of the Glycerin, it’s always been a slow work horse for easy or long miles, but I couldn’t imagine running in these. Just trying them on in my house they felt like wearing snow shoes attached with rubber bands. Brooks Hyperion Tempo is one of my favorite shoes I just wanted another option than was more cushioned for easy days, I’ll keep looking.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance, Salomon

I just don't think this shoe was for me. I need more of a neutral food support. I will say that they were SUPER CUTE and I wish they would have worked. I will be sticking with the Ghost 14's

The toe box was so narrow that I got blisters between my toes. Very different fit from previous Brooks shoes.

Overall these were just uncomfortable because of the shoe not having a tongue and the laces were not great quality. They ran small in length for me so I half sized up, which made tge rest of the shoe larger and my foot moved around too much. I also thought they just were too bulky for me to run comfortably.

The material was too bulky at the toe, and quality was not as expected. I've worn Brooks shoes for years and I am very disappointed in these particular ones.

I didn't like these. I was disappointed in the loose fit. The tongue of the show was very thin and I felt wobbly in it. I returned them. This is the second pair I've had to return-after wearing your shoes for 30 years, I don't think I will be buying any more of them.

This shoe is a lot wider than the other stealth fit shoe I had earlier. Not a fan of this shoe at all!

I usually like Brooks Glycerin but these shoes have a rough material around the ankle that scratched and was terribly uncomfortable. This material was hard to see online and I was surprised when I received the shoe that anyone would make a shoe with that uncomfortable hard material around the tender skin of the ankle. It is still scratchy even with an ankle sock. The rest of the shoe was nice but this needs to be changed. I returned the shoes.

This is my first pair of stealth fits and I was super disappointed. I wouldn't recommend because the back of the shoe sits poorly on the ankle and has caused my tendon to become agitated. Sadly not worth the injury

Not for me. Fabric is stretchy and thin and looks as if my big toe would pop out (even did the test for best shoes). Didn't realize it was pull on...stretchy type of fabric.I thought the sock trim would be a plus. Better stick to store bought.

Not my favorite version of this shoe. I found them the least comfortable due to the snug uppers.

Although these are super comfortable, mine fell apart on the inside. First pair of brooks that have ever done that.

This style of shoe is very trendy but it is incredible uncomfortable to me. It bothers my ingrown toe and I can't wait to take them off when I get home.

I wanted to love these so bad. Unfortunately, as others mention, the heel is painful and the toe box is tiny. The length of the shoe and the width of the middle of the shoe fit just fine. It's just for a very specific foot with tiny toes and a heel of steel. Had to immediately return them.

Had these shoes for a few months but do not like them. Was not aware that they were slip ons. Makes your feet too hot. Haven't worn but a few times. And they also make a noise like something is broke on the inside. Like a popping noise. Should return them but might be too late!
