Having switched from Mizuno to Brooks about 2 years ago I am VERY happy with that decision. Brooks make fantastic runners. Have had Glycerin, Ghost, Ghost Max and now these Glycerin StealthFit. I also use a 3/4 orthotic and they fit perfectly in all the Brooks shoes I've had.In fact, this is the second pair of StealthFit I've bought as I love the feel so much.I run in a US12.5 and not all models come in that size, but thankfully these do which is good.The Ghost Max are also quite good but these StealthFit are so darn comfy. Runs are a breeze. Knees are great! I have a narrow foot so don't have any probs as there is quite a lot of room in the toebox... more than the Ghost Max. The look great and feel great - and is you get them on sale like I did it's even better!!

I am a retired veteran with over 27 yrs of service. I have done tons of running through out my career and have wore just about every running shoes there is on the market. Some were good and some were bad but it wasn't until I tried on the Glycerin 12 that I knew I tried on my last pair of shoes. Every year I go out and buy the last version of the shoes because of the price. This year I bought the Glycerin 20 Stealth fit model and this shoe has been the absolute best model I have ever bought!!!! Everything about this shoe is spectacular!!!! The comfort, cushion, stability, fit, material, color, and style are secondary to none in my opinion. I love this shoe so much that I even bought my wife a pair and she loves them just as much as I do

Bought these online as a Christmas gift. Was able to use $20 online promotion. When I received the shoes they were used. Scuff marks, dirt, and lint on sock liner were present. When I took them back to the store, they would not honor the $20 promotion that I used to purchase them. Very displeased by the customer service. Those were the shoes I wanted to purchased at Dicks because of promotion. I wasn’t my fault that they were shipped used. Never again. You lost a loyal customer.

I have high arches, narrow heels, and normally fit between a 2E and D, so finding a shoe that fits well, is comfortable, has plenty of padding, and doesn't slip is hard.I had a shoe from another brand that had the sock type liner that I love, but is old and beat up and have had problems finding another. This shoe was intriguing, but unfortunately didn't come in a 2E, but I decided to try it anyway. Glad I did. I fits perfectly.Prior to purchasing it I read all the reviews, especially the negative ones.I have a suggestion that may solve the issues of some buyers saying it was too narrow, pinched, and didn't work for high arches as I initially had those issues when I first tried on the shoe.When you first try on the shoe, loosen the laces all the way to the ... MoreI have high arches, narrow heels, and normally fit between a 2E and D, so finding a shoe that fits well, is comfortable, has plenty of padding, and doesn't slip is hard.I had a shoe from another brand that had the sock type liner that I love, but is old and beat up and have had problems finding another.

Amazing difference. Fit now is perfect.Great shoe.
Brooks running shoes have been good to me, so I stuck with the brand when it was time for new ones.Pros: Very comfortable. Good support. Perfect sizing.Cons: In the big scheme of things, some relatively minor nits. 1) The integrated tongue feels weird and I'm still getting used to it. I don't know if this was a cost and/or weight saving move by Brooks, but it makes getting into these shoes more like getting into ballet slippers or water shoes. I'm still getting used to that. On the plus side, the tongue can't move around. 2) The laces are *really* long. Normally that would be a good thing. However, they are also very thin. That means they flop around a lot when tying them and strangely more difficult than it should be.Bottom line: Overall, I'm happy with these ... MoreBrooks running shoes have been good to me, so I stuck with the brand when it was time for new ones.Pros: Very comfortable.

The outsole is very comfortable, and competently absorbs impact for heavy runners, but that is about all this shoe has going for it. Compared to the Glycerin 20, the Stealthfit has a sloppy fit. The reduced volume of the upper, particularly in the heel and collar, creates a lot of slipping. The heel slips, no matter what. If you tighten the shoe aggressively, the heel will not come up, but it will still slip downward when your foot strikes the ground, and when the shoe is laced more tightly, it creates more pressure on the heel, which worsens the rubbing. The heel counter is very rigid, and only separated from the foot by a thin fabric. This causes a lot of hard rubbing against the heel skin, which will definitely cause blisters and skin tearing over long runs.

The heel counter is very rigid, and only separated from the foot by a thin fabric. This causes a lot of hard rubbing against the heel skin, which will definitely cause blisters and skin tearing over long runs. The only solution I have found is this: lace the shoe VERY LOOSELY, so when the heel slipping happens, there is so little pressure against my heel that the rubbing is not abrasive. Also, while the upper is lighter than in the regular Glycerin 20, it is also less breathable. The material is tightly weaved, and restricts air movement. I recommend buying the regular Glycerin 20 for overall comfort, especially in the heel, and for better ventilation.
I hate leaving bad reviews, but this shoe just doesn’t work for me. The sole feels like a slab of hard plastic. Absolutely 'dead' shoe, poor cushioning and no response. I believe it is made for heavier runners than me. I suspect you'll get more response from the shoe if your body weight produce that extra bit of force. I am very light, and suspect that is why this shoe is not working for me.Also, the rocker of the shoe seems to push you towards heelstriking. If you land on your midfoot or forefoot, the shoe doesn't roll naturally. Again, this may be great for some runners, but it doesn’t work for me.On the upside, it is the 'steatlhfit' version, and the upper of the shoe is very comfortable.
These are great shoes, very comfortable. I recently started developing a bunion so I wish they had a bit more room in the toe box. This is my 3rd pair of Glycerin shoes. However, I am disappointed that the newest version has too much cushion and I won't be able to wear them going forward. The added cushion in the newest version makes my heal go down which makes my toes rub against the top of the shoes. I wish they would go back to this amount of cushion on this shoe.
This review may be awfully specific to certain circumstances but I hope it may help another runner.1. This shoe is very slippery in wet conditions. I took them on a couple of road and sidewalk runs after some rain - the pavement itself felt slick, however anytime I hit a plastic crosswalk indicator I may have well been stepping onto an ice rink.2. I was trying to upgrade my extremely old Saucony Ride 8 (these have a lot of miles on them and any cushion is flat at this point), and I only otherwise walk/hike in zero-drop altras. Running in these really messed up my knees, lower back, and legs. I'm going to attribute this to the heel to toe drop these have on them... which is in stark contrast to my other shoes. I should have known better but I didn't - hoping this ... MoreThis review may be awfully specific to certain circumstances but I hope it may help another runner.1.

I have been Running with Glycerin past 11 years, buying two sets a year. This year I saw this so called StealthFit Neutral running shoe and I thought maybe Brooks making even better. Oh my Gosh, I was so wrong. I normally run 7 miles for an hr, but on this shoe I only ran 4 miles for 32 mins. I felt pinprick pain in my right foot toes, went home and stretched and massaged my foot. Woke up next morning, my foot swollen like a balloon. I have ran 7000 miles, this is the first time I got injured and could not lay my foot on floor and walk for two straight weeks because of this shoe.
