I have another pair of Glycerin in size 9.5 so thought I could order the same size. However the fit on these feels different - narrower at the toe box. It's really uncomfortable on one of my feet.

My least favorite pair of shoes from Brooks. They are not as comfortable as I would like and they rub up higher on the ankle due to the lip.

Love the stealth fit and the wide toe box. Problem for me was the sole. Middle section under the arch was stiff. I prefer the rocker motion of earlier versions that propelled my foot forward. Cushioning was great in toe box area but lacking elsewhere. Glycerin 19 is a much better shoe for me. Thanks for asking!

I did not like them I only recently realized the glycerin has different styles. I love the regular glycerin and just ordered the LE and I love them

The look is great, however getting it on requires a shoe horn. The pull tab at the back tends to rub my heel a bit as well as the elastic grabs my socks. It takes a while to settle and adjust. Once everything is in place the support is good. I walk in these so it adds to my morning routine just to get them comfortable

I have worn Brooks for 3 years and loved them. This pair is tight across the arch and difficult to get on. They do not have regular laces and eyelets They almost like a slip on shoe.

I don't know what Brooks did to change their shoes/laces, but they do not stay snug around my feet anymore, And I'm constantly having to stop to re-tie my laces, even when I double knot them. I have been an avid Brooks wearer for the past 15 years, but seriously considering a different brand. This is the third pair of shoes from Brooks in the last year and a half that I've had this issue with, even tried switching from ghost to glycerin, but still have the same problem. Very disappointing.

I'm a Brooks user. My other shoes are size 8 but somehow, this pair (size 8) seem to be huge. I wonder, since I got this pair on sale, does it mean that it is irregular???

The shoe has an inside sock. It is making my shoes tight. It is a good looking shoe.

The shoe feels awesome on my feet. Unfortunately my knees ache so bad at the end of wearing them all day. I am not a runner. I enjoy walking, both on the track and on the treadmill. I have tried wearing them on multiple occasions only to end up with aching knees during my walks and at the end of the day. I even went to my chiropractor thinking it was something else. I changed unto my Avia shoes and after two days the achy knees went away. I switched back to the Brooks and the knee issue returned. Should I be in a different style

I am loyal to the Glycerine lineas inthat's all I wear. I thought I would try the StealthFit but it's not for me. Too tight on the ankle and rubs the skin unless I'm wearing ankle socks. No show socks not an option. I will go back to the original Glycerine in the future.

I have been wearing the Glycerins for about 10 years. I thought that the stealth fit would be a snugger fit and provide a little more support than the traditional Glycerins. I am rather disappointed in these shoes. They are very loose around the ankle and heel, to the point that my foot slides out of them, no matter how much i tighten the laces. I am regretting spending top dollar on a shoe that is not comfortable and does not fit as advertised.

I like the feel and design of them. I'm not a fan of the shoe strings or that they start to feel loose sooner than I expected.

I really wanted to give these a great review. They were not true to size and were too small. I ended up having to return them. I have 10 pairs of Ghosts and Adrenalines that got me through plantar fasciitis. These just were too tight across the top and length of the shoe.

The heal slips on these compared to what I experienced with the standard Glycerin model that I've been wearing for the last few years and love.

I like the style and the cushion soft sole. The new design isn't my preference. I like the old style better. It is more comfortable on my ankle.

Fit and size was great but overall the shoe was not as well cushioned as in the past. I have another pair of these that I purchased about a year ago and the cushioning in those are superb. Sadly I am going to return these.

These are the nicest running shoes I've ever put on my feet and the size was right (if a tad large). The problem is my feet: I have very high arches, high instep, over pronation, and bunions--one of which was surgically repaired and still swells and hurts 15 years later. Unfortunately, these lack arch support and the midsole height was too short, causing cramping. They were also too narrow in the toebox, so my feet could not spread naturally, causing pain. I'm very grateful for the return policy.

Returned. They we're comfortable except for the tag in the back which created to much rubbing on back of my leg. Other than that great. Should have sized down from my normal shoe with the ghost. These felt way bigger at 7.5 than what they should have felt.
