[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been wearing the Glycerin StealthFit 22 for a while now and honestly, they’re a game-changer. The fit and feel are absolutely perfect—snug but not too tight, and they move with my foot in a really natural way. The design is simple and casual, nothing too flashy, which I actually prefer. The fabric is super comfortable and breathable, even during long days. What I love most, my feet didn’t hurt after wearing them all day. I’m constantly on the move and deal with chronic foot pain, so finding a pair of shoes that I can wear from morning till night without discomfort is a big deal. Honestly, my only regret—just wish I found them sooner!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve really been enjoying the Brooks Glycerin StealthFit 22 shoes. These are my first slip-on, tongueless running shoes, and I appreciate the lightweight stretchy fabric that maintains a snug fit while also offering excellent breathability, keeping my feet cool and comfortable, even on long days. I also appreciate the minimalist, streamlined design. While I usually look for shoes with a bit more arch support, I’ve found these to be quite comfortable shoes I can wear all day. Overall, the Glycerin StealthFit 22 strikes a great balance between comfort, design, and function—making it a pair I reach for often.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes are form fitted to the foot and have a nice snug feel without being too tight on my feet to limit the amount of hours they are worn in a day comfortably. I used the initial insoles that came with the shoes and were quite comfortable, however once getting custom insoles specific to my foot, I would say these could very well be the most comfortable pair of shoes I have owned. The foam base is not over-sized and provides good foot and ankle support while walking/running. The shoes are very light weight and have good breathability with the upper portion of the shoe being primarily a mesh type material that allows for good air flow and helps to keep your feet cool while wearing, even though they fit snugger than most pairs of shoes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really enjoying these Brooks running shoes! The Glycerinr StealthFit 22 are true to size and exactly what I look for when picking out running shoes. The feel of the durable and lightweight material is great for any type of weather conditions and terrain, which makes them a fantastic option for all types of training and runs. The soles of these shoes have a nice cushion to them but feel firm enough to offer support. They are also easy to slip into and have an extra bit of fabric on the back ankle to assist in leveraging my foot into place without crushing my fingers. Although these shoes are highly functional and durable for runs, I absolutely love the style and color combination of the black material and bit of brown on the bottoms. Not only are these my new running shoes but they also are an appealing every day shoe with the style.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can’t talk highly enough about my Glycerin StealthFit 22s! The fit is amazing; super snug and they mold to your feet in a good way, no slipping around and no tight spots. They’re stretchy but still feel secure. They look so clean and modern. I’ve gotten a bunch of compliments in the short time I’ve had them. They’re sporty without being too flashy, so I can wear them pretty much anywhere. I’m on my feet all day at work and these have been a game changer for me. The fabric is really nice; light, breathable, and super comfy even after wearing them all day. My feet don’t get hot or sweaty either, which is a big win. What I like most is how soft and cushioned they are. Walking or running in these feels like stepping on clouds. If I had to change anything, I’d maybe add a tiny bit more arch support, but that’s honestly nitpicking. I can’t recommend these shoes enough! These are my new go-to shoes for everything!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second or third pair of Brooks shoes, and the quality is unmatched. They fit true to my other Brooks - I order a half size up from my standard shoe size, and they fit perfectly. This was my first pair of “sock”-style athletic shoes, and I liked the breathability of the mesh upper. It did run a little low on ankle support, compared to traditional athletic support but only if I’m being nit-picky. The sole is very cushy and has great rebound - I did 3 miles in these my first time out, no break-in time required! The color and style is great with any sportswear. Highly recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These fit so well. Very true to size and I love that you can pull on with ease. The color scheme is great and I love that it will match so much. The shoes are comfortable for long or short distance running and feel very nice on my feet. After wearing today my feet felt great when I took them off. A new favorite for me!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I first put the shoes on, they were very tight and stiff. The first run hurt the bottom of my feet. However, the broke in quickly and I haven't had an issue since. They are a very snug fit. I'm not sure I even need to use or tie the laces but I haven't tried them without them yet. The design is different from any running shoe I've tried before. The shoe is very snug and elasticy. They got rid of the traditional tongue and just have an oval opening for your foot to go into. They have large hoops on the tongue and heal to hold onto while pulling the shoe on which is very helpful. The shoes are incredibly light. The fabric is soft and elesticy, which is different from what I'm used to, but I've gotten used to the feeling and find it quite comfortable now. I have a black pair and would prefer to have some color but it was the luck of the draw with what I received. Overall, I'm very happy with these shoes and will continue to use them in my training rotation. They are comfortable, light and look good.
Great fit. Snug to the foot. Running on a memory foam mattress would be less comfortable. Love the wide toe box as I have experienced ankle injury through sport involvement elsewhere. This shoe rocks.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After taking the men’s Glycerin StealthFit 22 out for a few runs, I am impressed with yet another style of Brooks running shoes. Immediately I could feel the comfort and support on these light weight shoes. I also love that they were easy to slip on (but also easy to not slip out of during my run). These shoes are incredibly lightweight, making them perfect for long runs on trails or even pavement. The traction from the bottoms offer a firm grip on various surfaces, whether that be wet or dry, paved or off the path. The current weather here Spring, also known as sidewalk pond jumping, and being able to run in all sorts of conditions is a must have for my running shoes. The breathable and light weight material keeps my feet cool and dry. This is especially important since my feet tend to sweat a lot and the material makes a total difference at the end of a long or challenging run. I also love the durable design; they show no signs of wear after several runs. Whether you’re a casual jogger or a seasoned runner, these shoes are exactly what I look for in a solid pair of running shoes.
