The Glycerin Stealthfit 21 Shoes are every beginner to novice runners dream with foot adaptability, close fit, and exceptional cushion support. I often experience a lot of arch pain accompanied by shin splints when breaking in a new pair of running shoes. I was amazed on how quickly the shoes adjusted to my feet and cushioned my stride with every downward impact. The shoe soles are perfectly curved providing an almost rocking like motion propelling me forward and conserving energy. These shoes are designed using a stretch fabric allowing for breathability while keeping my feet compressed yet able to handle weight transfer without injury. If you are more of a walker, you will greatly appreciate the cushion these shoes provide.

However, that is just splitting hairs and personal preference.Overall, these shoes are amazing so give them a try!

After wearing numerous pairs of Brooks sneakers, I've discovered that the Glycerin Stealthfit 21 is among the most comfy models I've ever owned.

It is very functional and has a modern aesthetic that is pleasing to the eye. Working as a nurse, the comfort on my feet on those long shifts is very crucial to me.

These sneakers have been perfect for the job. The color scheme of black and white is casual enough that I can wear with anything. The ample and supportive cushioning makes jogging comfortable and lightweight at the same time. All of the impact is absorbed by the foam, regaining the energy to let you go forward. The foam layer of the sneakers developed a significant crease after a few weeks. The fit is snug but not over strangulating. I also don't sense any hotspots.When laced up properly there is adequate support for both long and short distance runs. I do feel faster and snappier in these running shoes compared to the Brooks Ghost. The energy return is noticeable with each stride but after about a month of heavy running the energy return had diminished slightly. The traction on various surfaces was reliable, instilling confidence in my every step.Any running shoe's durability is important, and these ones did not let me down. Initially, I was skeptical since the soles' rubber didn't seem extremely thick or aggressive, but they've held up surprisingly well. After several weeks of rigorous running I’ve only noticed minimal signs of wear or tear. Additionally, the cloth may be easily cleaned with soap and water.These sneakers are great, but there are a few things to be aware of. I would rather have a broader toe box even though the sneakers don't seem too tight. These aren't the kind of shoes you should get if you want a versatile training shoe. I wouldn't lift a lot of weight in them, but they're fantastic for runs and some functional strength training.In conclusion, I love the Brooks Glycerin Stealthfit 21 for long training runs and long days at work. Regardless of your level of experience, I wholeheartedly suggest checking out these sneakers. I’ve tried many different running shoes and these are by far some of the most comfortable with excellent performance. While individual preferences may vary, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The performance, traction, comfort, and energy return really stand out for me. I will also mention that in the past I’ve had a pair of sneakers that were falling apart after a few weeks from Brooks and they sent a new pair free with expedited service.

The Glycerin Stealthfit 21 is easily one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have owned. Let me tell you why...As an active larger framed male (6'4", 250lbs), I tend to wear through shoes quickly, especially ones I work out and run in. I have tried on and worn many different shoe types. I am not biased to any type or brand but look for comfort and support as a key feature in any shoe I purchase.Over the last few years, the trend of large, wide, thick soles attached to a sneaker has tended to be my preferred style for various reasons. Mainly because of a recent low back injury that can flair up upon longer jogs. The Glycerin Stealthfit 21’s provided adequate support up through my legs and into the low back without issue!The Stealthfit 21's are so light, ... MoreThe Glycerin Stealthfit 21 is easily one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes I have owned.

The Glycerin Stealthfit 21’s provided adequate support up through my legs and into the low back without issue!The Stealthfit 21's are so light, you barely notice them on your feet at all! Light does not also mean unsupportive though! These carry my 250lb frame with ease for miles and miles both outdoor and on the treadmill (where I have been doing most my training lately). The best thing about these shoes is that I do not think about my feet anymore when jogging/walking. They do their job well and conform to my feet in a way that I notice zero discomfort (even new right out of the box!).There is a tremendous amount of cushion around the Achilles tendon area and a no-tongue (slip on style) upper section that fits your foot like a compression sock (but with plenty flexibility and stretch). If you need them tighter, the laces will also do the trick! I love that I can slip my shoes on easily and go right into a walk or run with zero movement inside the shoe. They fit my size 13 foot as expected. Not too wide and not too narrow.The colorway is highly desired, in my opinion. Being able to purchase black soled shoes, without having to purchase a shoe that is entirely black is hard to find! The black sole and white upper looks very sharp! Because the soles are black, they do not age and look worn nearly as fast as the endless amount of white soled shoes I’ve owned.Lastly, the tread on the bottom of the shoe is perfect for indoor/dry outdoor, track/gym and concrete/asphalt scenarios. I would not recommend these for wet, grassy, slippery, muddy or snow/ice scenarios. The tread grooves are grippy and crisp but not very deep. The upper shoe material is very breathable, but does not keep moistureout.Please purchase with extreme confidence!

I love a good-fitting running shoe. The Glycerin Stealthfit 21 by Brooks is that shoe! This shoe is not only cutting-edge stylish it's infused with 2mm more of DNA Loft V3 cushioning. DNA Loft V3 is a nitrogen-infused cushioning foam that is softer, lighter, and more responsive than just a regular foam insert. To me, this is what makes this shoe the perfect running shoe. It feels as if I am walking on air. The outer knit upper combines stretch with compression cradling my foot's every move. It has a very thick outer sole that is perfect for running. It helps to promote effortless heel-to-toe connection to the pavement, and I never skip a beat. Yet they feel lightweight on my feet. I like the deep ridges and grooves on the bottom of this shoe. They make for great ... MoreI love a good-fitting running shoe. The Glycerin Stealthfit 21 by Brooks is that shoe!

They make for great traction in any weather condition. They are easy for me to slip on and off due to the stretch in the outer material. I'm also pleased to see that these shoes are made with recycled materials that are equivalent to seven plastic water bottles. I'm on my feet most of the day, so when I'm not running, they are very comfortable for me to wear and walk around in. There is nothing I would change about these shoes; they give my feet the support they need and deserve.
I am a huge fan of my new Glycerin Stealthfit 21's and they have become my consistent go to shoe for all of my runs. I am a former semi-professional soccer player who has fallen in love with short/medium runs as a way to keep my fitness up, and these shoes delivered exactly what I was looking for. I typically go for three 2 - 5 mile runs during the week when I am not playing soccer.I was apprehensive at first as I am used to running in shoes with spongier soles and a little bit wider of a toe box (I have flat, wider feet) but these delivered premium comfort from the first run. While the tread was a little bit firmer, it was still forgiving on pavement and I did not experience any soreness in my heal or plantar which I sometimes get (no blisters either!).

While the tread was a little bit firmer, it was still forgiving on pavement and I did not experience any soreness in my heal or plantar which I sometimes get (no blisters either!). I am a true men's 9.5 but sometimes go up to size 10 with running shoes but these 9.5s fit me well. They are just a touch snug in the toe box, but the flexibility you get in the shoe material makes this not an issue.The sock-like upper opening holds your foot in place without being too tight. The tread and traction was excellent on all of my runs, despite the rainy/snowy conditions here in the Midwest for my outdoor runs. I love the colors and would definitely get them again. The white is sharp while the black sole hides dirt and mud.One trade-off to the upper design is the shoes are a little bit difficult to put on and off. I haven't found myself slipping them on to go run errands. I usually have to sit down when I put them on.That being said, the superior comfort and tread has made them my preferred running shoe. I am excited to run again!
This is my first pair of Brooks shoes and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Once I find a brand, I usually stick with it so I was hesitant to switch things up but I am so glad that I did! These are by far the most comfortable running shoes I’ve ever owned. Upon opening the box, I was really surprised at how sleek and clean they are. Sometimes brands try too hard and get a little wild with their designs for my preference but that’s not the case with these. They are perfectly on trend without being over the top.These shoes are lightweight but also offer enough cushion to be extremely comfortable.

I’m talking most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned comfortable. Usually after about 30 minutes into my workout I start to feel it in my knees but with these shoes, I didn’t have any knee pain during or after! Normally I use my running shoes just for running but couldn’t help to wear these as my daily shoe as well because they are just so comfortable and versatile.Sometimes the shoes that slip on and don’t have a movable tongue are a little hard to get on but getting these on and off is effortless. It was actually really nice not having to worry about the tongue of the shoe moving, bunching up or causing a blister mid run/workout.The heel does feel slightly higher than the forefoot putting your foot in a slight downward angle which I noticed when putting the shoe on but quickly became accustomed to within minutes. Honestly I really can’t even think of a negative thing to say about this shoe. They are proving to be an overall win and have certainly won me over as my new go-to brand.
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. Let’s 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 ... MoreLet 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. Let’s 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 that’s when the shoes start to feel wired almost like that the front bottom of the shoe does its own thing and it’s 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 can’t provide stability between this sections so it can feel that different parts of the shoe are moving independently and for me that’s 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 there’s 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 it’s advertised that it should be in range of 400+ miles. Hopefully Brooks would read this review and help me find the right shoe
When I slipped into the shoes, I hesitated about whether I'd like them because the upper part had a stretchy feel, and I was concerned it might be too tight. However, I was pleasantly surprised as the shoe easily slid on, offering immediate comfort and remarkable durability, especially in the heel area. It provided an unprecedented level of heel support that boosted my confidence during runs. The overall feel inside the shoe was fantastic, and the breathable fabric added to the positive experience.Despite the initial worry about the elasticity of the top, it didn't exert excessive pressure, and the shoe embraced my foot, providing excellent support. While it was a bit snug, it didn't impact the feel during runs or Pickleball sessions.The sleek and beautiful ... MoreWhen I slipped into the shoes, I hesitated about whether I'd like them because the upper part had a stretchy feel, and I was concerned it might be too tight.

While it was a bit snug, it didn't impact the feel during runs or Pickleball sessions.The sleek and beautiful design of the shoe caught my eye, and I appreciate wearing athletic shoes that make a statement. The white and grey elements add to its visual appeal, making me feel confident in every stride. It's not a big deal but the undercarriage also has this cool brownish orange that is appealing.One standout feature is the breathable fabric. After a 3-mile run and a 2-hour Pickleball session, followed by a 5-mile run and a gym session the next day, my foot never felt hot. This is significant for me, as I usually avoid wearing running shoes for extended periods due to overheating. The light and breathable material of these shoes make them suitable for prolonged wear.I genuinely love these shoes. Despite owning other running shoes, these stand out as superior. I might reserve them for races and use another pair for training, given their durability and lightness. This way, I can make the most of their competitive edge without wearing them out quickly.One essential point to note about this footwear is its suitability primarily for running and not necessarily for other sports. This is attributed to its elevated height from the ground, which provides excellent performance for running but may result in decreased stability when engaging in multi directional movements like those in tennis or basketball.
I know Brooks likes the glycerin to be one of their comfier shoes, so I was anticipating more foam in their outsole than what I am used to on some of their other models. I was surprised that my gate and stride were not affected at all by how “ chunky” the shoe initially looks and feels. While in mid range jog and I am heel striking, the glycerin naturally has me roll through the anterior of my foot and off of the big toe. While at a higher speed/clip and I am landing on the ball of my foot, it still has me finishing through the big toe. I have not done sprints yet to see how the shoe performs. It definitely is in my rotation for training now on longer, slower training runs. Upper is incredibly lightweight & very quick to put on and lace up due to the lace design.

I have narrow ankles, so I really need to cinch in the laces, but this will be really nice for winter training. If I ever wear thicker socks, there is plenty of room to accommodate a second sock or a thicker layer. Clean up should be very easy due to the material being very high-quality on both the upper and lower. Classic Brooks insole is incredibly comfortable while still maintaining light weight. The shoe looks and feels wide initially, but after five minutes of walking or running in them, I became very used to the product.
I have owned several pairs of Brooks and other running shoes and I can honestly say these are the most comfortable I've owned so far. I cannot believe how light these shoes are. When I picked up the box when I received them, I thought it might be empty. Even though they are light, they are high on comfort and features and can be worn while training or just every day to the office.I have primarily used these shoes inside on the treadmill since it is winter here and have put roughly 80 miles on them over the last few weeks. So far, they have held up great. The Glycerin 21 is made of a lightweight knit upper which gives it ultimate flexibility and makes the shoe breathe.

I have worn them for a couple short runs outside and while they are comfortable, the light weight material does make them cold to wear. I cannot wait to wear these outside in the spring and summer when the temps exceed 100 degrees.I really like the chunkier, modern design on of the sole. I have worn these on casual office days and received several compliments. These are shoes I plan to wear if I'm going to be on my feet all day, even if I'm not running. They are that comfortable. I'd absolutely recommend these to anyone from the casual runner to the diehards.
