I’ve worn Brooks Glycerins for years. This is my first time trying StealthFit and/or GTS, and I have to say this is hands-down the most comfortable pair of sneakers I’ve ever put on my feet. I’m using these for walking purposes only as I’m no longer able to run, but if I could, I’d be pretty excited to get out and put miles on these. True to size, and width as expected for this style, which is perfect for my slightly narrow heel and slightly wide ball of foot. I probably will switch out the insole for orthotics for additional arch support — mine are moderately high and very stretchy so it’s pretty standard for me to require a bit of extra support in the arch. Great aesthetic design too.

I love the Glycerin GTS 19 for cushion and support so I thought I would like these. But the shoe has a sock like fit and the inside seam near the top laces is not smooth and dug into my foot and was very uncomfortable.

Love Brooks Glycerin shoes and really wanted to try the GTS. Overall, I really like these. They seemed a little wider than the normal Glycerin shoes though.

I sized down a half size. I usually wear a 10.5, but in these I needed a 10. I love the fit and the stylishness of them.

I have had several pairs of the original Glycerins and while they’re always super comfortable the profile was too wide for different cardio workouts such as boxing or agility work. I decide to see if the Stealth model is any better and it is. The toe box is a little roomier than I’d like but I’ll try them with socks to tighten them up.
I’m usually an 8 but need to take an 8.5 in any Brooks.
Wore them to the gym this morning and got a ton of compliments on them..added bonus.
I’ve tried other brands and always come back to Brooks. They are pricey so that’s why I’ve tried others but they are worth it in the long run when my feet aren’t killing me after a workout.

I love this sneaker, especially the sock like fit. I went down a half size, I wear very thin socks. They're very comfortable wether I'm walking my dogs, on the treadmill or running errands. They are a bit loose around the ankle but my heal doesn't slip. I love they way they look on my feet, not big and bulky like some sneakers.

These are, without a doubt, the best running shoes I've ever owned. And, I've owned a LOT. The sock-like collar is game changing. My feet often "fall asleep" during a run, giving me that pins-and-needles sensation. Not anymore! Plus, it enables me to lace the shoes tight enough to prevent heel slippage without leaving the tops of my feet feeling like they've been beaten with a stick.
The cushion on these is remarkable. I need a shoe that provides some impact buffering without losing the "feel" of the road or surface under my feet, and these deliver that. The toe box is perfectly generous without making your feet feel like they're sliding around in there.
My only complaint is that these do not come in enough color options. I prefer to have 3 pairs on hand during training so I can rotate them, so different, interesting colors/designs would be most welcome!

My Big toe rubed the side of the shoe and was not comfortable, which was unusual since they are wide. It also rubbed the outside of my ankle.

Felt great my first few runs out with no breaking in period. Responsive shoe with good cushioning. Very comfy. Looking forward to putting lots of miles on these

These are the first pair of sneakers I've ever had that are comfortable out of the box and cause no foot pain. They are cushioned but not over cushioned and are the perfect arch support for my feet. I use them for long walks. I have plantar fasciitis and arthritis and I can wear these shoes all day and have zero pain. I plan on getting more to stockpile and have on hand.

I’ve had many pairs of Glycerine…these feel flimsy and not as much cushion as last 12 pairs I’ve had. Pretty disappointed. Try the new Saucony…it’s more like the old Glycetine with wide toe box and lots of cushion.

These feel great. I tried these instead of my usual Adrenalines, and I like these just as much.

They’re great and super comfy. Easy to slip on and squishy in a pleasant way to walk on. But I can already tell they stretch and the foam isn’t long term.

I bought 2 pair of these because I love them so much.
Super comfortable, I can wear Brooks Glycerin right out of the box with zero break in time.
I absolutely love Brooks shoes!

I love these shoes. I've never shelled out for a good running shoe before, but i'm glad i did. I didn't know it was possible for me to run without joint pain, but these shoes make it possible!

I'm not a runner but I have a very serious need for a supportive shoe. This is the first non-orthotic I've ever found that can hold my foot perfectly all day. I'm amazed.

I love these. I bought for use at work as I walk a lot. But find I am using them for more than work. I have to wipe them down often due to the light color. Love them.

I am a huge Brooks fan! I normally wear Brooks Ghost for work (healthcare). I bought theses as my workout/errand-running shoes. They are very comfortable and keep my lower back from hurting much like my ghost do. Thank you for making such quality shoes.
