Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin Stealthfit 21

I went up half a size--the fit was good. The shoe is not as comfortable as other Brooks--but that may be because I really liked the colors so I bought the running shoe instead of one for walking and standing. (I'm a school teacher) My feet are killing me after a couple of hours.

One of the reviews for this sneaker said something to the effect that it fit like a glove. I have been trying for some time to find a sneaker that felt good on my feet, with lots of cushioning to help my bad knees. On the whole these sneakers seemed to fit the bill. I didn't care for the slip-on style, even with the laces; it made them a bit hard to get into. But the most disappointing aspect was the material for the upper... it was thin enough that my big toes would saw right through the tops fairly quickly. This is something I always have to deal with, so I look for construction that will make it worth the price, given the somewhat shorter life span they'll have . If these sneakers were half the price I might have kept them because they were quite comfortable. I've worn Brooks here and there for the past few years. On the whole I have been less than satisfied.

I felt they were slippers. The tongue is made out of elastic, something I am not comfortable with. Size felt smaller.

Very disappointing.

The toe box was narrower than Brooks usually are. I returned them.

It is very difficult to get these shoes on, especially because of the weird tongue that is an intrinsic part of the actual shoe, rather than a standard sewn-in attachment. I really hate that part of the shoe. Also, I am not a fan of a heel loop but, without it, I wonder if it would make it even harder to get the shoe on. Once it is finally on my foot, it feels a little tight across the vamp. That's a problem for me. My correct size is a 10.5, and this is an 11. I have worn earlier iterations of the Glycerin in the past and didn't have a problem. This design does not work for me.

The sneakers don’t have a tongue and the opening for one foot was very tight, even my 8yr old struggled to get her small foot into the opening.

Too tight. This shoe doesn't have a tongue but instead it rides over the top of your foot.

I clearly did not read the description well enough to realize that the tongue is integrated as part of the shoe. It's all one piece. I like the look overall and was excited about the color but I cannot get my foot into the shoe. I also have one foot that swells by the end of the day so this is not going to work for me. I love Brooks shoes and especially the knit uppers and soft heel collar, I will have to look for another style.

Loved the look of these shoes but they felt quite narrow and the connected tongue did not work for me. It made the shoes so tight my feet would have been numb if I left them on. Very disappointed because color/pattern is great.

The fit was OK. The problem is the elasticity surrounding the foot opening. It was difficult for me to get the shoe on.

Too narrow in the toe box. Little toe was screaming!

The shoe was so tight I could not get my foot in it. I cut the tongue in several places trying to get it to loosen, but nothing worked. It was too tight. I threw the shoes away.
