Love these shoes. Glycerins are my go-to shoe, but I have never tried the stealthfit. It fits like a glove. So comfortable! Would definitely recommend.

I love how narrow the shoe is. Extremely comfortable for long walks. It adjusts so fast to your feet. The only reason why I dont give it 5 stars is because the colors are a little weird. Id love for the shoe to be completely white.

I wanted to love these, but I did not feel they were as comfortable as the Glycerin Stealthfit 20. I ran with them and walked around all day and my feet were tingly. I felt that the 21 is over cushioned and narrower than my 20s. I did, however, order the Glycerin 21, those were way better on my feet and the colors were better too.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Brooks Glycerin Stealthfit 21! At first appearance, I was slightly concerned with the lightweight, stretchy fabric. However, after using the shoes, the fit stays snug, comfortable and does not stretch out during use. The shoes are very breathable, so best to use warm socks while training in the cold. I have trouble with plantar fasciitis and these have not caused me any sort of pain or discomfort. Overall, I am very happy with this product and would recommend to my family and friends.

Brooks Running has exceeded my expectations with the Glycerin Stealthfit 21. I am a nurse that works 12-hour shifts who enjoys hiking and running outdoors. The Stealthfit sole has the stability and responsiveness that I was needing for both work and play. I usually wear a size 8 and they are a perfect true to size shoe. The design has a sock fit around the ankle with cushion support for the heel. The fabric used is breathable and has the ability to adjust to toe width. Overall, I could not be happier with their performance and would highly recommend them to all.

First, these shoes are exactly what I have been looking for! They are great for casual walking around wear but they also can be used for training/running and are excellent gym shoes.
The fit of these shoes are true to size to a little tight. There is no tongue on the top of the shoe so the fabric hugs snuggly. I like that if you tie them loosely though that you can easily slip them on and off for casual wear. They look great completing an outfit to run errands but are also awesome training shoes for the gym.
The sole of the shoe is my favorite part. It made box jumps easier and also made running more comfortable for my joints. They feel like youre running on air comfy mattress. The cushion is fantastic.
The design is well thought out. It looks modern and on trend but still has the Brooks logo you have come to expect and love from the company. I like the chunky sole and sleek fabric of the side panels. I also like the way the laces tie on the top.
The fabric is stretchy and soft, yet if you tie the laces tightly-the shoes have great support for running.
I like the versatility of the shoes the most. They are definitely my new go to shoes whether throwing them on for a long walk, or taking the kids to school, or running a 5k - these are the shoes I have been continually reaching for.
The only negative is that sometimes the top of my feel get hot in the shoes but as Ive worn them more, that has become less of a problem.
I think they are high quality and what Ive come to expect from Brooks and their value. I recommend them for sure.

I havent had a chance to go running in these yet as the weather has been poor in MN the past couple of weeks but I did wear them to work. Ive been having some soreness with my arch and usually wear wedges to work but decided to instead try these. They are incredibly comfortable and perfect if youre on your feet all day! I cannot wait to get out for a run in them. The support is amazing and the lightweight style will be great for rubbing distance.

The Glycerin Stealthfit21 is a very durable shoe. Upon first few wears, the shoe is a bit roomy and the cushion is stiff. I did feel after a few wears the cushion began to adapt to my foot for better comfort. The material on the shoe is very light and almost feels flimsy. There is no tongue for added support, but replaced with stretch material for more flexibility during the run. This was difficult to adapt to as I do prefer a tongue to feel more snug in the shoe. The back of the shoe went too high on the heel/ankle and rubs. This could also be the stiff loop, but I prefer a lower heel on a running shoe. The front toe region was perfectly spacious. When initially running in cold weather I felt the vented top of the shoe was making my feet too cold, but after warming up I preferred the vented top because it was cooling and I felt my feet didnt sweat as much as they would have with a completed insulated shoe. Overall, the appearance of the shoe isnt ideally what I go for. The colors were very neutral and stylish, but the bottom soles I find to be a bit extra and almost appeared as space shoes upon first glance. They did eventually grow on me, but I still prefer a minimalist shoe.

These shoes exceeded my expectations! They fit perfectly and provide enough cushion and support for me during my long work shifts which are spent mainly on my feet. They also work great for cardio at the gym and I plan to use them outside on trails at my weekly park run. I like the stretchy fabric and overall design of the shoe. It really helps having the loops in the front and back of the shoe to assist when putting them on and readjusting. If I could change one thing about the shoe it would be to make the material a little thicker or water resistant as I live in a city where it rains a lot especially this time of year.

I really like the overall design of these shoes and how neutral the color scheme is. These provide a lot of support for my feet and there is noticeably great shock absorption when I'm running. The fabric breathes well so I'm not feeling like my feet are sweating or overheating at all. They have an almost sock like quality to them that makes them uniquely secure when I'm running in them that I truly appreciate. I highly recommend these for any avid runner or even someone just on their feet a lot that's looking for support and excellent comfort.

Im not a runner. Trying to be. I used to be very fit before children and while in the military. Now Im 54, 238lbs. I have not found any shoes that last, nor that keep me WANTING to go run. These shoes are it. I was not compensated in ANY way to say this. They are so nice I bought two pair. One for indoor workouts and one for outdoor (white and the black ones are coming). They look really cute (in my 40 year old Cali girl opinion). I feel bouncy, VERY supported, like I could run for miles and miles, and they make me excited to workout. What drew me in was the cushioning. I bought a different pair from a different brand and my feet hurt so bad I wanted to cry and just go barefoot. These shoes saved my feet, my shins, my hips, and my health. They are worth the price. I even encouraged my 70 year old (fashionista but needing to be healthier because of her weight and knee surgery) aunt to get these. I love that you can try them and send them back if you dont care for them. Also, at first I thought they were too tight and got mad. But wore them anyway and went for a jog. Let me tell you it was like they conformed to my feet because I distracted myself with a deep conversation and 30 minutes later realized that these shoes felt amazing and I was no longer sore! Glad I bought them!

These shoes are so comfortable! If you like a lot of cushion in the sole, these are the shoes. I have a narrow ankle and was concerned about the tongue-less style but they are so comfortable and my heel doesnt slide at all. I ordered 1/2 size up from regular shoe size and they are perfect

These shoes are great. Im currently training for a 5k, but Ive run several 10 milers and half marathons (my most recent half was 3 months ago). So Ive gone through a fair number of shoes! I like the Glycerin Stealthfit 21 because theyre lightweight and very comfortable. This is my first experience with a tongueless shoe and Im a fan-theres less stuff to rub on my feet. I have a narrow heel and these shoes do not slip or blister my heels, so thats awesome. The stability level is nice, I like that the shoe provides support without sacrificing comfort or shock absorption. My only issue is that the toe box could be a tad bigger. But thats pretty specific to my foot, and it isnt a big deal. Overall a great shoe! Highly recommend!

I am in love with this shoe. I know, that sounds dramatic. But seriously, all my other running and gym shoes have been relegated to bottom-of-the-totem-pole-yard-work-duty in the presence of these masterpieces. The first time I wore the Brooks Glycerin Stealthfit 21s was at an all day trip to a theme park. It was a risky move, but oh boy did it pay off. My feet felt exactly the same at the end of the day as they had at the beginning. I have now tested them at the gym, on runs, and day to day wear and they continue to be my new favorite shoe in every situation. Lets talk specifics: 1- I have a narrow heel and wide ball and these fit like a dream due to the extra soft yet stable padding inside the heel of the shoe. This is the only shoe Ive had in a while that achaines a secure heel fit. The memory foam-like padding creates a perfect fit for me, and I imagine it would do the same for almost anyone. 2- these are actually stylish, which is nice because you used to have to give up style to have a decent running shoe. Not anymore!
I have one single small complaint. The heel loop is made of a coarse weave material, so youd better make sure your sock doesnt slip down or else this loop will for sure rub a blister on your Achilles. The rest of this shoe is so smooth and polished, I cant imagine why the most coarse weave material was chosen for this spot. I plan to remedy it with a small piece of moleskin on the inside of the shoe where the heel loop is sewn in.
100/10 will return to the Brooks Glycerin Stealthfit 21 when this pair wears out.

These shoes are great for running and working out. I usually wear a 7 1/2 shoe, but ordered an 8. They are snug, but roomy. They have great support and feel good on my high arches.

Glycerin Stealthfit 21really impressed me with the quality of these shoes. I have started walking again and was wearing a typical athletic shoe ,but what a difference Glycerin Stealthfit 21 has made with my journey. The close-to-foot and the softness of these shoes make you forget you are walkin you are completely stress free. The construction of Glycerin Stealthfit 21 introduces an adaptable closer fit to you foot with a fit knit upper that provides seamless structure and breathability. This shoe adapts to the movements of your foot. The comfort is amazing its helps with the pain in my leg from my sciatica nerve its less aggravated as I walk in these shoes. These shoes are very easy to put on. The sole is high and soft which supports you as you work, run or jog with maximum breathability to keep your feet comfortable and cool. The main reason Glycerin Stealthfit 21 is so confrotable is because they are nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3, softest cushioning optimized to be lightweight, responsive, and durable with plush comfort. This shoe truly feels like walking on clouds, yet its so supportive. The toe is roomie while the heel is snug so there is no pinching but there is also no rubbing or heel causing blisters. I totally recommend Glycerin Stealthfit 21. I love the sock-like lining. It fits like a glove and keeps my foot in place without the need to tie the shoe to tight.

I am a somewhat experienced runner that has taken a long vacation from running. I decided to take running back up, and boy does this shoe foot the bill perfectly! The first thing I noticed is how snug the fabric is around my ankle. The need for a runners knot is completely eliminated! No slippage when running. The sole of the shoe is a little clunky, and not as slim as what I am typically used to, but this allows the sole to be unbelievably impact resistant! The fit is very true to size; snug and supportive around the ankle/top foot area and open at the toe box. Zero break-in period required. It is immediately comfortable. I received the all white option. While it doesnt scream fashion elite to me, I can totally deal with the look of the shoe due to the level of quality it provides while I am working my way back into my fitness journey! The only complaint I have about this shoe is the placement/material of the heel tab. If I wear very low cut socks, the tab rubs my ankle leaving a spot. Easy to remedy, but all other aspects of this shoe is great, and I was a smidgen surprised this wasnt already thought of/addressed. Overall, this is an excellent product that I couldnt be more happy with!

I have worn this pair of shoes everyday since they arrived. The glycerin cushioning is well balanced. It isnt too soft or firm. There is enough of an airy bounce with each step without losing support or sturdiness. They feel perfect and fit great. The design is fashionable enough to throw on for errands or meeting a friend. The fabric breathes well and stretches making it easy to slide on before leaving the house. I love the way they look and feel, especially training on the road and sidewalk. They have great traction for the many hills in my neighborhood. I wouldnt change a thing, just suggest customers to properly tighten the laces before a long run or walk. It did cause one blister, but I mostly attribute that to user error. Highly recommended to all the road runners out there! These shoes are just what I needed to reach my exercise goals.
