Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin Stealthfit 21

I love fit of the shoe but the shoe laces are already a bit dingy and frayed. The shoes are more white than grey.

I use these shoes for taking long walks, 5-10 miles at a time. I love the supreme softness and fit, definitely my favorite Brook shoe to date.

Love these new shoes Look great with black on black Super comfy stealth fit Very light Did a faster than usual 10 K today So yay

Best shoe I ever have! Been using it every day at work and the gym.

Great shoe overall. This sole was a bit slippery on tile floor when coming in from the rain. Please keep offering neutral colors I can wear casually at work as well as for running. It's getting harder to find basic beige, black, etc. men's shoes without bright colors thrown in. Thanks!

Very comfortable shoe with a great fit.

Not good internal threads came out shoes started to fall apart. Try to see if I can return them

First off, I've been wearing the Adrenaline GTS for years. As a runner who suffered from chronic back and knee pain, the Glycerin is a huge upgrade in cushioning and comfort. Every step feels way more supportive and the impact greatly reduced. The stealth fit works a lot better than I anticipated also. Unless lacing up for a run, you don't even need to re-tie them. Just slip them on and they feel secure and comfortable. My only concern is durability. The bottom tread material is surprisingly grippy but looks pretty thin, so we'll see how it holds up over time. Overall, very impressed with this shoe from Brooks.

Unfortunately, My shoes arrived and they smelled like mildew. I sent them back. Very disappointed.

I absolutely love these shoes. Im not the biggest on running but wanted to get more active in running and now I can say that I actually enjoy running because of these shoes

The most comfortable shoes ever, the cushoning is amazing

With the glycerin adding more support - cushion why would you buy anything else ?

Have 3 pair of the previous model. Tried these. For some reason these are much more narrow and the sock fit is much tighter on the toe box. I was unable to wear them. Even tried to size up but made little difference. Main issue is the toe box. Fabric constricted and compressed my pinky toe. Also do not have shoe available in a wide at this time

The fit runs narrow through the forefoot and wasn't nearly as soft and bouncy as I would have expected given all the marketing about "running on clouds", etc...

I've been wearing Glycerin since Glycerin 8. The pair always give me plenty of cushion and lateral stability of midfoot, even though this is a neutral type of shoe. Glycerin StealthFit 21 provides a great cushion as usual but I found the heel area is slightly tight which gave me discomfort during/after running. I've been running with this pair for 1 month(12-15 miles per week) and still having the same feeling. I am going to try for 1 more month and I might try 1/2 size larger. So far Glycerin 21 meets my expectations as always.

Returned them and purchased a different shoe. I normally take size 8 and they were huge and bulky

testFirst off, I use these for walking and jogging- no long distance runs. I was looking for something to replace my Adidas Ultraboost, as newer models were too narrow for me. I ran with Brooks for years while in the Army and they were always great, so decided to switch back. The shoe fits like a Brooks shoe with plenty of room in the toe box for my wider than average foot. (Im wearing a size 12, normal width). I love the fitted feel of the StealthFit. Putting the shoes on is easy and the lacing system is good. My foot feels secure without feeling restricted. These are nice and cushiony but still give a little bounce when going for a walk/jog/run - something that has allowed me to get back into running, minimizing my achy joint pain. The downside that put these at a 3 for me, instead of a 4-5, is the durability. Ive put about maybe 65 miles on them so far and the tread seems to be wearing out incredibly fast compared to the old Brooks or even other brands Ive used in the past. I was hoping for a longer lasting tread, especially given how much these cost, but the treat is almost down to the midsole in some spots (see my photos).

Love themthese are my new go to

Definitely one of the best pair of shoes I have owned.

Very comfortable shoe. I must have weird sized feet bc it is a little tough squeezing my foot (and sock) into the shoe bc it has a limited size opening (if that makes sense). Once in though, feels great. Also a little slick inside if wet floors.

Most comfortable running shoe I have ever had

I know Brooks likes the glycerin to be one of their comfier shoes, so I was anticipating more foam in their outsole than what I am used to on some of their other models. I was surprised that my gate and stride were not affected at all by how chunky the shoe initially looks and feels. While in mid range jog and I am heel striking, the glycerin naturally has me roll through the anterior of my foot and off of the big toe. While at a higher speed/clip and I am landing on the ball of my foot, it still has me finishing through the big toe. I have not done sprints yet to see how the shoe performs. It definitely is in my rotation for training now on longer, slower training runs. Upper is incredibly lightweight & very quick to put on and lace up due to the lace design. I have narrow ankles, so I really need to cinch in the laces, but this will be really nice for winter training. If I ever wear thicker socks, there is plenty of room to accommodate a second sock or a thicker layer. Clean up should be very easy due to the material being very high-quality on both the upper and lower. Classic Brooks insole is incredibly comfortable while still maintaining light weight. The shoe looks and feels wide initially, but after five minutes of walking or running in them, I became very used to the product.

These shoes do run a tad roomy which sometimes works out if worn with thick socks. Design wise, its practical and meant for putting it on and hitting the ground running. Fabrics and materials are well chosen and mold to your feet and have just enough cushion. It's been rainy and wet but I've had no issues at all. I like the darker sole color on these shoes as it's getting lots of gravel and dirt paths and looks brand new still. The only thing I would change is the lacing but that's just a personal preference.

I have owned several pairs of Brooks and other running shoes and I can honestly say these are the most comfortable I've owned so far. I cannot believe how light these shoes are. When I picked up the box when I received them, I thought it might be empty. Even though they are light, they are high on comfort and features and can be worn while training or just every day to the office. I have primarily used these shoes inside on the treadmill since it is winter here and have put roughly 80 miles on them over the last few weeks. So far, they have held up great. The Glycerin 21 is made of a lightweight knit upper which gives it ultimate flexibility and makes the shoe breathe. I have worn them for a couple short runs outside and while they are comfortable, the light weight material does make them cold to wear. I cannot wait to wear these outside in the spring and summer when the temps exceed 100 degrees. I really like the chunkier, modern design on of the sole. I have worn these on casual office days and received several compliments. These are shoes I plan to wear if I'm going to be on my feet all day, even if I'm not running. They are that comfortable. I'd absolutely recommend these to anyone from the casual runner to the diehards.

This is my first pair of Brooks shoes and I wasnt sure what to expect. Once I find a brand, I usually stick with it so I was hesitant to switch things up but I am so glad that I did! These are by far the most comfortable running shoes Ive ever owned. Upon opening the box, I was really surprised at how sleek and clean they are. Sometimes brands try too hard and get a little wild with their designs for my preference but thats not the case with these. They are perfectly on trend without being over the top. These shoes are lightweight but also offer enough cushion to be extremely comfortable. Im talking most comfortable shoes Ive ever owned comfortable. Usually after about 30 minutes into my workout I start to feel it in my knees but with these shoes, I didnt have any knee pain during or after! Normally I use my running shoes just for running but couldnt help to wear these as my daily shoe as well because they are just so comfortable and versatile. Sometimes the shoes that slip on and dont have a movable tongue are a little hard to get on but getting these on and off is effortless. It was actually really nice not having to worry about the tongue of the shoe moving, bunching up or causing a blister mid run/workout. The heel does feel slightly higher than the forefoot putting your foot in a slight downward angle which I noticed when putting the shoe on but quickly became accustomed to within minutes. Honestly I really cant even think of a negative thing to say about this shoe. They are proving to be an overall win and have certainly won me over as my new go-to brand.
