Womens Glycerin Stealthfit 22 Neutral Running Shoe - Plush Cushion

In this review of the Glycerin Stealthfit 22, the bottom line is simple: these shoes are for runners who want maximum cushioning with a smooth heel-to-toe feel. The Glycerin Stealthfit 22 pairs Brooks' latest DNA Tuned midsole with an updated flat knit upper to deliver plush landings and responsive toe-offs, making it a strong choice for road running, gym sessions, and long easy runs. Our review found the shoe excels at comfort and transition, though the fit can vary for some wearers.

Key Features

• DNA Tuned Cushion: Larger cells in the heel create soft, plush landings while smaller forefoot cells deliver responsive toe-offs for energetic push-offs.
• Neutral Support: Designed as a neutral shoe, it provides maximum cushioning without added motion control, suitable for natural foot strike patterns.
• Updated Flat Knit Upper: The soft, flat knit blends stretch and compression so the shoe moves with the foot for an adaptive, comfortable fit.
• Smooth Transitions: A broad platform and tuned heel and forefoot stabilize the foot and smooth heel-to-toe transitions on road surfaces.
• Versatile Use: Built for road running, cross training and gym work, the Glycerin Stealthfit 22 adapts to varied workouts while prioritizing cushion.

Who It's For

The Glycerin Stealthfit 22 is best for women who prioritize cushioning and comfort over aggressive responsiveness - think long easy runs, recovery miles, and mixed gym sessions where a soft ride helps reduce fatigue. Runners who favor a plush, protected feel at the heel and a stable platform will appreciate the DNA Tuned midsole.

Those who need strong stability, corrective support, or a very precise, narrow race fit should look elsewhere or consider the Glycerin GTS variant for added support. Also, buyers who prefer a very tight, race-style upper may find the accommodating knit a little roomy.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Exceptional plush cushioning from the DNA Tuned midsole for comfortable long miles.
• Smooth, stable transitions thanks to a broad platform and tuned heel-toe geometry.
• The updated flat knit upper provides an adaptive, comfortable fit that reduces hot spots.

Cons

• Fit receives mixed feedback and can run a little big for some users, so sizing trial may be needed.
• Some customers report varied impressions of support and pressure points along the inside, so it may not suit those needing very specific stability.
