Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin StealthFit GTS 21

Nice and comfy! Also a snug fit around the ankles. Can be a little difficult to slip on, but once your feet are inside, its heavenly.

My family had a trip to Orlando planned and I was dealing with foot pain and needed a reliable sneaker to get me through all of the walking. I tried on a lot of different sneakers but could not find the right fit. Until.....I found these. Not only do they fit great they are also very comfortable and supportive. I am a fan of the little things and I love the pull tab on the back. I also love that there is no tongue. Also, my foot pain is all but gone and I walked over 30,000 steps in Orlando when the weather was terrible. Absolutely love these sneakers.

These have been the best running shoe Ive used in recent memory. I had fond memories of the Hoka Mach 5 so I tried out the new Mach 6 and was not impressed. My feet hurt with the Hokas. I came back to these great shoes. They are very comfortable, fit well, and my feet do not feel fatigued even after 5+ mile runs several times a week. I wish there was more variety of the colors but otherwise I couldn't be happier.

Extremely comfortable and stylish. These fit like slippers and mold to the foot. Sizing is spot on even for a wide foot. This is a great addition to my Brooks rotation!

Great shoe but I think the stealth fit in this shoe wasn't a good fit for me I was getting a blister on my pinky toe so I can't give it a 5 star. Other than that I love the style the look and the comfort just wasn't for me. Love brooks will continue to Rock them.

New to the brooks brand. Easily the most comfortable running shoes Ive bought. Ready to order another pair when these wear out.

I am a HUGE fan of the Glycerin StealthFit 20 shoes. I have many other high-end cushioned running shoes, and for me, the StealthFit 20 is still the most comfortable shoe. And the regular Glycerin 21s are second for me. Note that I am not a runner, but I need a nice, cushioned shoe for being on my feet a lot and walking comfortably for distances. Because of the StealthFit 20 comfort and how the new StealthFit 21s look, I got the latest StealthFit 21 model. I opted to go with the StealthFit 21 GTS "support" model this time. However, I think going with the GTS may have been a mistake versus the standard StealthFit 21s. The StealthFit 21 GTS is still relatively comfortable, though I agree with many others that the 21 is more snug and narrow at the front now, especially versus my than StealthFit 20s. My biggest issue though is that the StealthFit 21 GTS cushioning is a much different (nowhere as good) feel that my StealthFit 20s. Unfortunately I just bought the 21s based on how much I love the 20s! Perhaps it is the "support" level, and if so, that's on me for selecting the GTS model. I can still wear the StealthFit 21 GTS for quite a while, but my feet get more fatigued in them versus the StealthFit 20s which I can literally wear all day. Unfortunately I bought these through Amazon and not direct. Not sure I have a recourse to swap the StealthFit 21 GTS for the regular StealthFit GTS or just get another Glycerin 21 pair (which I also love!). Overall, still a high quality Brooks shoe.

The feel and comfort regarding landings is great and I believe they reduced fatigue in my run; I put six miles on them the day I received them and the running experience was very good. I purchased 10" in size, but I did notice around the fourth mile I started to feel more pressure in the toe-box compared to my Ghost 14 pair. Granted, maybe they need to be fully broken in too. I'm heavily considering to purchase the standard model but in wide.

I like everything about this design but its just not easy to afford for everything.

Ive had a good deal of ankle issues and this shoe runs nicer than most others. The medium width is too narrow for my foot, so my biggest issue is the need for a wide version.

Very comfortable and smoothly ides on hard surface. Money well spent. wish more colors was available.

I liked the overall feel of the shoes. They were light and responded well when used. I am returning them due to the width of the shoe is smaller than the last ones i purchased.

Love these shoes. Very comfortable. Conform to my feet.

Super comfortable with plenty of cushion. Just got back from Italy and they were my go toos for all the walking I did.

Fit, comfort and style very awesome. However I average 45-50 miles a week and after just short 3 weeks - the under-soles are already worn. So very disappointed that these expensive shoes wont last more than 2 months.

These are hands down the best shoes I've ever owned in my life.

This is a really good cushioned stability shoe. I used it for a marathon which it wasn't great for. I would recommend it for half marathons and shorter. Good daily trainer also.

It walks well. I dont run. GTS feature is very helpful. The bounce/softness is good. Can only compare this to an Adrenaline GTS. The tongue feature/instep of the Glycerin is weird. Hard to get in without a shoe horn. Otherwise the fit is fine. Shoes look great in real life. I think this is a keeper, but Adrenaline still wins. Wish there were more feature comparisons and reasons for the models on this site.

Let me 1st say that I love Brooks brand , at moment I have 5 pairs at home that I use for different terrains and runs. I purchased Glycerin STFit GTS21 as a trainer the idea was to use it twice a week for 10-12 miles runs each, then use once a week Hyperion max for a longer faster run. Whit this shoe I have few issues, one that might be due to the design and the other that might be a factory and possibly only a problem with the pair I have and not the whole series. Lets start with the design, when I start my run first 5 miles while I have more energy I tend to land closer towards the back of my foot and at this first 5 miles I feel like that this are the best shoes I ever had, but as I start to run out of energy I tend to lend more flat footed and towards my tip of my foot thats when the shoes start to feel wired almost like that the front bottom of the shoe does its own thing and its separated from the rest of the shoe and I think it is because the sole are designed as a separate sections that are not connected by harder sole material but held in place by foam and foam cant provide stability between this sections so it can feel that different parts of the shoe are moving independently and for me thats not natural feeling I like my shoes to feel and move like my foot but with cushioning. The other issue that I think it might be due to the defect possibly only on my pair is that after I cover some distance I start to feel discomfort on the inner part of my left toe and down to the middle of my foot almost as if theres a edge that my foot is rubbing against it. I also noticed that my toes are not really sitting completely on the sole but off of it as if the sole is too narrow for the toe box, not sure if that is part of the design. So far I have about 50 miles on this shoes and I can can see sole wearing I am not sure if this shoe can go 200miles I feel like for what its advertised that it should be in range of 400+ miles. Hopefully Brooks would read this review and help me find the right shoe

Shoes are too wide and feels like I was on spring

My new go to shoe. Immediately stopped getting blisters after switching over to these.

This is a great shoe! The combination of a secure fit and superb cushion makes this shoe a great option for any number of running and/or training activities. The advice per the website to size up by 1/2 a size was spot on; I typically wear an 8.5 in most shoes and going up to a size 9 resulted in the correct size/fit.

Hard to get foot into shoe. Runs smaller than glycerin shoes Ive had in the past. I bought these online without trying them on first. That was a mistake.

I absolutely love the shoe except that its not offered in a narrow width. Why? Many of your other models offer a narrow width option.

Great shoes fit excellent
