Good cushioning and support. The upper fits very snugly which is fine for my narrow foot, but may be too tight for wider feet. Much better cushioning than the Ghost, which I have been running in for years. Raced a 10k in them last weekend and won my age group! I am a convert!

Good fit and comfort. I don't like the tongue detail but am aware others may like this style change. Overall the great comfort and quality I expect from Brooks

Not my favorite pair of Brooks. The toe is tight and the heal cushion pushes my foot forward. They are very cushioned so being on your feet all day that part is great.

I bought this shoe because it was listed as very soft under the cushion rating on your website. I do not feel that the rating matches the level of cushioning that the shoe offers.

Overall it's a good show. Pretty comfortable & I have no feet pain while wearing. I use the shoes for walking & every day wear, not for running.

I really like these shoes. But, because I have chronic swelling to my L foot/ ankle, the stretchy elastic around the opening of the shoe was too tight for me.

Love the shoe - just didn't care for this particular color. Returned it. I already own the white Glycerin StealthFit 20 excellent shoe and great looking. I wear it a lot and get tons of compliments. It's white though so don't want to get too dirty or worn looking! Very comfortable, supportive with lots of cushion. I normally wear a 9.5 in Brooks Ghost, but in the StealthFit, I had to size down to a 9. I like the roomy toe box too. If looking for a comfortable, great looking shoe, I highly recommend!

I am happy with them except that they do not have a detached tongue. I had one other pair and felt that they loosened to soon as I???m narrow around the ankles. I didn???t realize this until I got these but so far so good! Thank you!

I like it the only improvement would be to have a bit more cushioning. I got the white with pink and yellow so it is really cute too. A lot of times I don't care so much for the "look" but this one has it. True to size fits well.

Let me start with I love these shoes. I brought them with me to basic training and AIT last year and they held up amazing. Even running in them every day and strenuous activities, they never wore down too much. These are the most comfortable running shoes I???ve ever owned. I never experienced shin splints or anything in these. The only reason I ever stopped wearing them is because my dog chewed them up a few months ago. I tried saucony shoes and omg they suck. I have so much toe pain and leg pain. So I bit the bullet and ordered these again and they are awesome. The only complaint is they???re not super supportive but the comfortability is so worth it. Thank you brooks for making this awesome running shoe.

I love the shoe so far! Great for getting back into walking and running. My shin splint pain isn't as bad because of the support that the shoe provides. I don't usually write reviews but I am super happy with this purchase. My friend who ran in high school recommended them to me and I love her for it!! As close to walking on clouds as possible.

I really like the fit. They have a fit that is snugger than the regular Glycerin 20. The tongue is attached to the shoe and they are light and airy. However, I do think the regular Glycerin is more padded. I like both!

I like this shoe. It is light and surprisingly cushy running in them. I would have rated it higher except for the little piece of stretchy material at the top of the shoe. This material rubs against my ankle bone making it very uncomfortable. If you take this piece of material off the shoe, it would be perfect.

Didn't love the sock like top of these but they were so comfortable and I felt a noticeable bounce/spring to my step.

Love the color, but the stealth fit isn't my favorite. They are looser around the ankle, and seem a bit wider in the forefoot. I've always worn the Glycerin shoe, and this is my first time having a slight rubbing because of this. My favorite have been the GTS which I will go back to when I need a new pair. This version of glycerin still has the amazing cushion though that I love!

I Love the Shoe! Has made a positive improvement in my miles. The shoe laces are a little short and cheap for such an expensive shoe? However, that's not a real major issue. Sometimes, in the past, with really good shoes you would get even an extra pair of laces! Times change right.... Get the shoes though, They Are Worth It!

While I love the shoes, I persistently get blisters on the interior of heels due to the side heel cushioning. Otherwise, I love that I don't get hip pain while walking long distances. FYI, training for a 21 mile walk...anticipating 7 hours on my feet! Hoping my heels toughen up!

I really wanted to like these shoes -- they are more fitted versions of the regular Glycerin and the close, sock-like feel is great! However, the top of my foot near the ankle seemed to be sensitive to the way the laces are attached to the shoe and the places where the laces were anchored felt sore. I think this was due to the shoe not having a padded tongue to cushion the pressure of the laces, as I've never experienced this issue with a more traditional structure.

So comfortable. Just wish someone could make a support sneaker without making your feet look bigger than they are. My feet are big enough and these look like they add a size or two so only wear for walking (which should be in the pull down on use)

I was initially exposed to Brooks brand when my wife was getting arch supports at the Good Feet Arch Store. She really felt they were a quality made shoe. We came home and proceeded to order her a pair to wear with her new supports. She normally wears an 8.5 and when they fit her orthotics at the store, they put them in an 8.5 for her to try her arch supports on. When wearing the orthotics, they must be worn in shoes that the insoles can be removed and the Brooks allow this. As we were shopping for her shoes, I saw these lilac running shoes and had to have them. I do not run. Just wanted them for everyday errands. I normally wear a 7.5. Since the Brooks appeared to run true to size for my wife when she was trying on the orthotics, I ordered the 7.5 but I am returning because they feel snug and small especially around the toes. I am reordering a size 8. Others have mentioned in their reviews that they were a bit snug and slightly small. Looking forward to them coming soon.

First off, I am NOT a runner. I use these just for my general workouts. I love the cushion of this shoe, but it is very narrow through the arch. A wide width shoe is too wide for most of my foot, but I do have a fairly wide arch. These are quite a bit more narrow through the arch than the Ghost or the Adrenaline which I've previously worn. It's probably a great fit if you have a very narrow foot. I have a very narrow heel, but a wide arch, so fit is always hard for me. They didn't have my size in the stealth fit with a supportive fit, so I went with neutral to try these. I think it's a nice shoe, but I could get my size with the right support and it runs narrow through the arch, so that's why I'm giving it 4 stars. If it were just a pinch wider through the arch AND I could have gotten the proper support in my size, it probably would have been perfect. I have to lace my shoes differently so my arch doesn't cramp. I think it's a really nice shoe, but if you don't have narrow feet, especially through the arch, they'll likely be snug and might cause cramping. I WANT to love them because the cushion is fantastic and the stability I feel is better than my last pair (even without getting the Support version), but they are just way too snug in the arch. If it were closer to a true B width OR offered a C width, that would be really nice.
