BrooksWomen's Glycerin Stealthfit 21 Running Sneakers from Finish Line

Great Shoe

This is a great shoe. It’s very responsive with a comfortable sole. Arch support is good but I add a little more support by adding my inserts. I love Brooks. Great Shoe.

Great Arch support

Excellent arch support, and cushioning,walking and running extreme comfort. Style and look of shoe very impressive.

Great running shoes

The StelthFit 21 holds my foot nicely. My new go to running shoe!

Snug fit for the foot

This particular style is very fitted around the entire foot. I have been wearing brooks for years (same size) and for some reason this seasons line runs a little tight and small. I want to blame this in the material and the padding on the inside. I was undecided whether I wanted to keep them but I’m pregnant and a nurse and needed a fresh pair stat and they were on sale (and no my feet aren’t swollen) They have stretched out a little after wearing but just note they are the tightest pair of brooks I have ever owned. I appreciate the extra support but wish the fit was slightly more relaxed. Size up a half on these!!!

Pleasantly Surprised

I use these for work, 6-7 hours a day, walking. The outer sole is Very Comfy, absorbing the impact of hard floors. The 'inner' upper heel in very cushioned just below the shoe pull on loop, to the point an additional half size up could be suggested. There is no tongue to the shoe so the fit around the lower ankle is snugger... these features would be a plus to runners, I would suppose. Depending on an individuals arch support needs some may want additional arch support. Over all I have been pleasantly surprised, especially with the outer sole comfort.

Tight, feels like my foot is pushed forward & causes pressure on my toes. I anticipate my big toe will make a hole in my shoe eventually. Probably won’t choose these again.

Running smaller

Seems to run small this time. I've worn these for years. Same size. The two pairs I just purchased both feel too small.

I do not like the Glycerin StealthFit 21. I have only bought and kept the regular Glycerin 21, even though I did not love it. I appreciate the cushion! Landing is soft. But, they felt kind of short even though I bought half size bigger-as I usually do. I do not like how my feet-toes included, feel in the shoe. I ran a 5 mile race in them and it is the first time I can say that a pair of Brooks hurt my feet. I guess I will go back to the Ghost even though it does not have the same amount of cushion.
