Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin Stealthfit 21

This shoe is very comfortable with a wide toe box. I have bunions and a tendency to have plantar facisitis. I wore them right out of the box for my daily 2 mile walk. I love them so much I bought 2 more pair. I did add my orthodics as I do in all shoes. I have gotten several compliments on them. They are youthful-looking. They are a touch on the wide side which suits my foot problems well.

I really love how lightweight and comfortable these shoes are. As always with Brooks, I usually order a half size up and I contemplated whether to get my actual size 10, but thankfully, I stuck to my gut feeling and ordered a half size up.

Just received this shoe and I have to say its one of the best I have tried. I have tried in a running shoe. Have been running in Brooks since the Glycerin 11s. I am a neutral runner 20-30 miles a week, usually buy a size 9 1/2 in running shoes. This beats out my Hoka Bondi 8, which did not hold up. The foam marked up as soon as something came against it. These Brooks feel firm but cushioned at the same time. I don’t feel like I’m running in sand. Width is good, even with a slight thicker sock (Bombas ankle sock). The stealth fit is slightly tighter but gives with every step and is very supportive. Cool color too-I got the white and grey. Will be ordering another pair of these and the regular fit. Both are top notch quality as well. I was not a fan of the Glycerin 20s but am absolutely loving these.

Love the slip in design. Great support and cushioning training for a 10k and these are perfect jogging shoes. Ordered a size 7 and they are true to size.

Wow best fit and comfort, never go back to any other shoe.

These shoes are amazing! Very comfortable and lightweight. I use these for running and I love a sneakers that hugs my foot without making it uncomfortable. If you like shoes with a looser feel these are not for you. I have found the glycerins to be a little big for my foot and had to do special tying to make them more snug. These are just perfect and I highly recommended

I have a high instep and these shoes did not work for me at all. Although I wanted to like them, they were too tight across the top of foot with the sewn in tongue allowing no "give" to adjust. Have worn Brooks for years (especially as work shoes) and they usually work well for me, but not this pair. When I tried to wear a thick sock with them, the sock bunched up and shoes were difficult to put on. Hasn't happened before. Sadly returning them.

Loved everything about the sneaker. What I did not like was I had received a $15 off promo and it wasn’t elgible.

Love the comfort of this shoe. Runs true to size. I have an extremely narrow width so these are very wide for me but the built in sock helps a lot. I haven’t found any shoe narrow enough so these will work. It’s truly a great shoe, it’s just my extremely narrow feet.

I've been wearing Brooks Ghost shoes for years but wanted more cushion. I tried the Glycerin in half size bigger and it fit perfectly. The stealthfit would have been perfect too because they hug your foot, but because I wear extra cushion insoles, they felt too tight on the top of my foot.

Too, too tight. These were a bit difficult to put on and felt very narrow. My toes were poking up at the top. One foot was getting numb after wear them for a short time in the house. I wish they came in a wide. Other than being too snug, I love them! I'm sad to return them

These were the most comfortable shoes ever. However, I did not know they were "slip on" and as an 81 year old it was extremely difficult for me to get the shoes on as they are very tight around ankle to get your foot in side. Once in they were great but unfortunately way too much work to get the shoe on. For someone more agile than myself they would be great.

These were comfortable right out of the box. I am on feet 12 hours a day at work & these sneakers are so comfortable.

Pleasantly surprised at how much I love these. They are super comfortable for running and I am very pleased with how they look. For reference, I wear a 7.5 in ON running shoes but went with the 8 in these based on reviews. The 8 fits perfect!

Very comfy and cute. I usually wear 9.5 in brooks and went to a 10.

I use these shoes for cross training. They are very comfortable and feel light on my feet while doing strength training and high intensity cardio workouts. I always go 1/2 size bigger for workout shoes.

Absolutely LOVE these Brooks sneakers! I have flat feet, and so finding truly comfortable, supportive sneakers can be a challenge. These sneakers are like walking on a cloud. Highly recommend these!

I had to return the first pair and order 1/2 size bigger. I love them! I walk about 2 miles a day and these shoes have really made a difference. I highly recommend them.

perfect shoe

Agree with other reviewers that these are the most comfy shoes ever! I tried several different shoes and the brooks were my favorite. But I did have to order half a size up. I felt like my normal size of 6.5 was just a bit tight compared to others so I ordered 7 and they’re perfect. I’d recommend getting several types and trying them all out. Everybody likes a different feel, but the Brooks worked the best for my foot!

Awesome shoe! You will not be disappointed

After wearing these almost daily for a couple weeks - the sloshing stops after several wears! These sneakers are so comfortable - I really don’t consider there to be “arch support” however, the inner sole is substantially padded and the outer provides more than adequate flexible support. While usually a soft inner sole and cushiony outer would irritate my dorsal bunions - these do not. It’s like walking on a cloud, zero pain. In fact, in this Brooks, I even prefer the inner sole it comes with to my custom insoles. Hope they don’t break down quickly.

I love the Glycerins! This is my 2nd pair of the Staelthfits, bought the 20s a couple of years ago and the 21s are right on par. I no longer run, but wear running shoes in most of my daily life. The 20's went with me to Portugal and Slovenia and the 21's will be on my next trip to Italy. They are super comfortable, with good support AND lasting cushion. I'll probably buy a 2nd pair in a different color

These are so comfortable. I have an extremely narrow foot and these are seriously too wide for me but the way they are made is why I kept them. Even though the width isn’t right for me, the shoe is so comfortable and the built in sock keeps your feet from swimming in the shoe. The arch is perfect. The length was also perfect. I just wish it came in a narrow width.

Love these shoes . Very light weight . . Love how they are made. Glad I chose these
