Something in the design had changed with the last. It fits much more narrow in the toe box and the cuff is tighter when first trying them on. This was my daughter's report after wearing a pair of 8.5 and growing to need a size 10. She says it did not fit the same.

I am a huge brooks shoe fan. They are the only athletic shoes that I will buy. I was extremely excited by the nitrogen installation in the soles. I have given these shoes about 6 months and absolutely hate them. There is zero support in the heel. Each time you try to put them on the heel mushes down And is a pain. I will be retiring this pair early and gifting them to the homeless shelter.

I ordered the same size as I wore in my Glycerin 19. They were way to big everywhere. I returned and ordered the Glycerin 20 in a half size smaller after reading reviews. I will sometime try the Stealth 20 in a retail store for exact sizing.

I have worn these twice and both times I have been in pain I'm not just my feet but also my legs and hips. This is the first pair of Brooks that I have had an issue with the shoe causing me pain. I would like to return these or exchange for another style.

I love Brooks for both work and off duty hours. I need a good shoe for comfort and something that looks nice.
The Glycerine StealthFit 20 is a bit too soft for me. I am more of an Adrenaline GTS style it has the firm fit that I need for my activities and for work. This is a pretty shoe and I just had to try it but it's not for me. Best for runners shoe.

Not as comfortable as the Glycerin 20, much harder on the foot bed, I notice my foot cramping much more. I wear these shoes to commute and see patients, so in them anywhere from 8-12 hours. Stick with the Glycerin, don't get Stealthfit.

There's a reason why I returned the shoes. The loose ankle collar allowed my heel to slip no matter how tight I tied the laces. I could see as the show wears that the look ankle collar would stretch even more. Why add that? Why not just stick to the traditional ankle collar that tends to lock in the heel much better. I liked the feel of the rest of the shoe. But the constant ankle slipping on the very first run was unacceptable, so I boxed them back up and returned them. Didn't anybody demo a prototype before putting this model into full production?

Loved them at first... but they are now causing me to have shin splints... :( I think the materials is too loose on my foot - it does not support it enough when I run.

These are the cheapest looking sneakers I have ever seen. They are Not lace up sneakers, they are slip on or pull on. The opening to fit your foot into is super small, tight, and narrow.. The worst sneakers ever. Frankly I’m horrified. I’m beyond disappointed, it was a waste of my time to get these awful sneakers and now I have to spend more time returning them..

I only wear brooks on my runs. I have never been wrong with this except this time!! I've bought this shoe the last 3 times as they fit perfect and love the way they feel however this new style is different with a built in sock and rubs on my foot leaving blisters. I cannot wear them and will have to purchase another pair for my runs. Very disappointed. I'll make sure the shoe is exactly the same prior to my purchase from now on.

I've work Brooks for over 15 years, mostly Glycerin, Ghost and Adrenaline shoes and loved the shoes. I decided to try the Glycerin StealthFit GTS 20 and after wearing for a few days got Plantar Fasciitis and extreme heal pain from the arch on the left foot. It felt like the arch is out of alignment and high behind my arch. I love the look of the shoe, but can't wear them without extreme pain. I went back to my GTS Glycerin with no problem except for the tender heal..

I personally did not care for the sneakers at all. The insole was very thin and almost no arch support, whatever. Even with socks, it felt uncomfortable around my toes and top of foot.

This was the absolute most uncomfortable pair of shoes I've ever had on my feet! I bought a pair of Nikes running shoes instead

Did not care for the cut of this Glycerin at all. The material does not provide any support in the toebox.

I returned the shoes because they didn't provide enough support with my orthotic insoles in place.

These are just not the shoe for me.i have great difficulty getting them on. The fit is just too snug and very hot. The size is accurate but I just hate this shoe. I'm so sorry. I really want to return them. I've worn them briefly but just can't do it.

These shoes are cushiony on the sole but very little if any support on the sides. All in all, I would describe these shoes as somewhat flimsy sorry to say as they are a costly purchase. Long time Brooks fan; first time disappointed.

It was the same size as the other pair of Glycerin 20, but felt way too tight.
