Very comfortable but when I hit the treadmill you realize how tight the forefoot area is due to the design. I have run in Brooks Glycerin/Launch/Ghost for many year and this is the first shoe that is so tight in the forefoot. OK for short runs but does not work for me when running longer than 30 min.

Shoe's toe is much narrower than previous editions. Causing discomfort and hotspots.

Such potential. Ruined by an extremely narrow fit. I ride the line between standard and wide fit but I've always worn standard glycerines without issue. Sadly these fit much narrower than the standard. Love the concept but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

The built in sock/tongue hurt the top of my foot and was too tight. I had to return them sadly. The cushion felt wonderful tho!

There is a reason these are discounted. They are not the same as Glycerin's. The tongue is connected with an elastic material so it constantly has pressure on your foot. It's like the difference of a t-shirt and a spandex turtle neck. Once I'm running they feel fine, but not a good choice for every day wear.

Returned the StealthFit 21 because the fit was not right for me. Purchased the Glycerin 21 and that shoe if fabulous. My third Glycerin.

I don't like the attached tongue at all and the first time I ran on it I developed pain in my left medial knee. Was happy to quickly replace with the adrenaline GTS.

By far the worst pair of Brooks that I've ever had. The solid design of no tongue makes putting them on a real pain.

Returning due to sizing, ordered same size as I always have. Prefer standard Glycerin model.

Brooks are ALWAYS my go to shoes, these pair however kill my feet. The two times I have tried to wear them they have rubbed blisters on my feet.

I ordered the exact same shoe, I previously had the Stealthfit 20, and the exact same size as my 20's. When the shoes showed up, the shoes felt like they were 2 sizes smaller than the ones I had. I sent chat messages asking if the shoes had possibly been mis sized, and ultimately just received canned responses that effectively said were sorry you are returning your shoes. I still wasn't giving up so I went to a local store that sold Brooks, I tried the same shoe on same size, and it was still too small. Verifying for me that the 21's are smaller sized than the 20's. Why would you change this, that's just crazy. Unfortunately for you, while I was at the store, I tried on a pair of Hoya's, again, the same size, and they fit perfectly, so I purchased the Hoya's. We'll see again, what happens with this feedback. My guess, nothing or another canned response. Good luck with your smaller shoes.

I had 2 pairs of these shoes. First one got replaced under warranty because the fabric ripped from the sole, same thing again with the second pair. The shoe makes my feet sit at an angle and many people told me I'm standing on the side of my feet. Even when I walk it's noticeable, the material is just uneven and I never had a bad experience with running shoes. Too much money only to last 6 months

These sneakers were highly recommended. I always order size 7 men's. But these were too snug, too narrow. Had to return them.

These are expensive and should last quite a bit longer!! The soles were worn out in about 2 months and I was rotating shoes!! The cushion and fit are great but the soles were like gum rubber and thin, so there was no longevity. I get it, they want to make money, but I'm not made of it, so I guess I will be trying other brands.

Color was so disappointing, did not even try on. Needed brown, color is sometimes orange, sometimes purple. Never brown.

Really wanted to like these but at around mile 4-5, I developed serious pain in my right metatarsal. I’d rotate to my other trainers, and every time I came back to these, it was the same pain/injury. Returned after 30 miles.

Hate the "step in" feature. Makes the shoes very difficult to put on. Bought the shoes on the web would never have bought them if I was aware of the terrible step in feature.
