Question 1

Accepted Answer

Hi Deana. The Glycerin StealthFit 20 and the Glycerin 20 are both neutral styles. However, the Glycerin also includes a support version, the Glycerin GTS 20.

Question 2

Are they waterproof?

Accepted Answer

Hi Paula. The Glcyerin Stealthfit 20s are not waterproof.

Question 3

Do they come in narrow?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for reaching out.  The women's Glycerin StealthFit 20 only comes in a medium width.

Question 4

What is the difference between glycerin 20 and 20 stealthfit?

Accepted Answer

Both the Glycerin 20 and the Glycerin StealthFit 20 features our new nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 foam. This is our super-soft cushioning optimized to be lightweight, responsive, and durable with plush comfort. We redesigned the midsole and outsole offering a widened platform for smoother, easier transitions as you’re striding through.

The new StealthFit construction introduces an adaptable, closer fit with stretch and compression to move with the foot through the use of our FitKnit material - providing a seamless structure and breathability. Plus, the external lacing system means laces do not touch the foot for a distraction-free fit.

Question 5

Are the glycerin stealth good for cross training like orange theory workouts?

Accepted Answer

Hi Erica! As a running company, all our shoes, including the Glycerin StealthFit 20, are designed and tested with forward motion such as running and walking in mind. Activities that involve lateral movements are not something our shoes are built for and the life expectancy of the shoe (300-500 miles) is likely to decrease.

With that being said, for runners that still choose to use our shoes for more of these lateral movement activities or gym workouts, we tend to recommend a lower-profile, neutral style such as the Launch, Revel, or Levitate. We like to recommend neutral styles for these activities since additional support elements in the shoes can get in the way when used for more functional (especially lateral) movements.

Question 6

Are these cushiony and very supportive for walking, have had p. fascitis arch /ankle issues? problems sometimes fasciitis

Accepted Answer

Hi Denise! The Glycerin StealthFit 20 is our softest, most cushioned model, so you will find great cushioning for walking. When it comes to plantar fasciitis, this can be tricky to solve with a single shoe as it can be quite different from person to person. Please also keep in mind that we're not doctors and any serious pain or injuries should be discussed with medical professionals. We recommend visiting a local running shop and having your gait and feet analyzed by a Fit Expert. They'll be able to recommend options accordingly!

Question 7

How wide is the toe box on these? I'm used to wearing the ghost. But looking to compare styles for more heel cushion.

Accepted Answer

Hi Amy! The Glycerin StealthFit 20 features a wide box similar in width/room to the Ghost 15. At present, feedback on the Glycerin StealthFit 20 is that the toe box is about average width.

Question 8

Are these shoes machine washable?

Accepted Answer

Hi Sarah! We recommend avoiding washing machines and (especially) dryers, but you can hand wash your shoes. Here are some tips as well as a link to an article that goes in greater depth: 1. Brush the bottom of your shoes to remove as much mud and dirt as possible. 2. Remove the shoelaces. 3. Gently use a damp cloth or brush to clean the uppers. 4. Rinse with warm water. 5. Remove the insoles and clean and dry them separately. 6. Stuff your shoes with newspaper. This helps them maintain shape and decreases drying time.

Question 9

Is the style OK for wide feet?

Accepted Answer

Hi Holly! The Glycerin StealthFit 20 introduces an adaptable, closer fit with stretch and compression to move with the foot. If you usually wear a wide width, we recommend sticking with the classic fit. However, if you usually wear a medium width, the StealthFit can be an option!

Question 10

How does the Glycerine Stealth Fit compare to the Glycerin GT20 for cushion and stability?

Accepted Answer

Hi Stacey! There are four versions of the Glycerin 20, as there is a choice between Classic and StealthFit and a choice between Neutral or GTS. They will all have the same amount of cushioning. The Classic and StealthFit versions will refer to how the upper material fits. The StealthFit will have more of a socklike feel with less adjustability in the lacing, while the Classic is more of that traditional athletic shoe fit. Neutral and GTS refer to the support in the shoe. The GTS version has our GuideRail support system, which is intended to help support runners who overpronate (feet/ankles roll inward). We recommend the neutral model if you do not overpronate.

Question 11

What can you recommend for just walking??  not a runner at my mature age of 89 1/2 Thank you Mary

Accepted Answer

Hi Mary! Our gear is designed with the run in mind, but they can work great for many activities like walking. We always recommend a professional fitting at a local running store to help find the very best shoes for you.

Question 12

Are the glycerin stealth about like the hoka Bondi 7?

Accepted Answer

Hi Christina! The Glycerin StealthFit 20 is a great alternative. It is one of our Cushion Experience styles and offers a similar level of cushion and support. Plus, the StealthFit upper allows for a sock-like fit.

Question 13

Can people with wide feet wear the stealthfit shoes?

Accepted Answer

Hi Olga! If you typically wear Medium width styles the Glycerin StealthFit may be a good option, especially if you are looking for a sock-like fit. If you prefer a more traditional fit or need a Wide width, we recommend the Glycerin 20.

Question 14
