Customer Reviews Brooks Glycerin StealthFit GTS 21

I don't love these but they will have to do. I paid $10 for shipping so returning them is a hindrance just due to shipping costs. I like the height and arm support. I don't like that the shoe lace doesn't tighten at the ankle, leaving the ankle loose and vulnerable to injury. This should be more of a lounging shoe and not a running shoe.

This shoe was picked for me by the shoefinder on brooks website. I had high hopes. The cushioning and heel support on the Glycerine stealthfit GTS is great. It helps with landings. However, the base of the shoe is too restrictive. Sidewalls, indeed!! It makes the inside left ball of my foot hit the base and sit on it at a weird angle. It caused a foot injury for me. I think this shoe just sits more narrow with the side support of the GTS shoe. I'm not a wide foot but the side support may narrow the shoe. It's fine in the back and arch, but the inside ball of the foot lands on the harder part of the base. It seriously hurt my foot. The shoe does it's job, you will strike at the same spot every time, even when you are fatigued, but for me, the inside ball area of the shoe hits wrong. It's hard and unforgiving. It hits right on the edge and there's no comfort right there. It totally injured the ball of my foot up through my big toe. The shoe itself lands kind of flat and doesn't give good energy return. It's a workhorse shoe. It's not made to rock with you. It stays stable and solid if that I'd what you need. It's not nimble. It's solid. If that makes sense. If you need your heel to stay in place, it does. I also liked the upper. The stealth fit is awesome with the stretch and never ever does the shoe hit the back of my heel or rub. The stealth fit is spot on for that. The left shoe itself could be defective, because my feet are equal width and it doesn't happen on the right. Or I could just land harder on my left when running. Regardless, I'm returnng these and trying the Hyperion Max next. Without GTS. With extra cushioning because my foot needs some TLC right now.

Instantly fell in love with these but within the first 4-5 times wearing them the stitching in the back unraveled and the cushion falls every time I wear them now. I have only ever walked in these so for that to happen almost immediately was disappointing. I will be keeping them because once I readjust that back cushion they are the most comfortable shoes I've walked in!

I tried these shoes in attempt because Brooks discontinued their Transcend line and the staff at the store stated that is style was similar. For me, this shoe did not feel comfortable and made my feet tired at the end of a long school day or running. I kept at it thinking that I needed to get use to it, but it now sits way back in my shoe closet. I later bought the Glycerin GTS thinking it was the "StealthFit" that was the issue to my ankle or fit. That didn't work either. I ended up going back to Brooks Adrenaline which I have worn for over 20 years. I think the arch support and how it hugged the sides of my feet really makes it my go to.

I purchased these shoes roughly six months ago from a local authorized dealer. They are extremely comfortable and have been keeping my feet from being sore at the end of the day. What I am unhappy with is that the sole is already starting to come apart. These are strictly used as my work shoes and are never used to work out in or are in rough conditions. To say I am disappointed is an understatement after paying such a high price and barely lasting six months.

They look and feel cheap, between the stitching showing and the thin material I was not impressed and returned the shoes. They also didn't lace up right to me and did not feel comfortable.

These were by far the most stylish I've ever purchased. However, I had to return them as the cushion was too firm and made my feet cramp. I would love this style in the regular Glycerins.

They hurt my feet it gave me a corn between from rubbing together dr told me I need a wider sneaker

The tab on the back rubbed blisters that were bleeding by the time I got back from my run. It took two weeks of bandages and care to be able to run without pain again. The tab goes into the shoe and my socks slipped just enough. The tab is a rough material that scratched and rubbed at the skin. I had a pair of glycerin gts 21 previously and loved them and thought I would love these as well.
