Dick's Sporting Goods is known for stocking top running shoes from brands like Asics, New Balance, and On, but it's also one of the few places that'll feature discounts on current running styles you won't find anywhere else online. The retailer has dropped the prices of Hoka's Clifton and Bondi, among other styles, as well as several pairs of Nikes. Brooks is now in the mix, and one of its best-looking models just dipped in price by more than $50.
Right now, Brooks Glycerin StealthFit 21 Running Shoes are on sale for as low as $106—up to 34% off the normal $160 price. These supportive sneakers have earned a 4.4-star rating after nearly 150 votes, and they're quickly becoming one of the top-selling running shoes at Dick's because of the discount. They come in sizes 8 to 14 and are available on sale in two colors, tan and white, but the former offers the biggest discount. Brooks' classic Glycerin running shoes are also on sale in select colors starting at $107.

The Glycerin StealthFit is a neutral running shoe designed to tackle pavement that's also been styled to look great with athleisure. It features the same ultra-plush underfoot cushioning, nitrogen-infused DNA Loft foam, and broad running base as its classic counterpart, but it has a tapered elasticized ankle and a closer-to-the-foot feel that's more streamlined thanks to its flat-knit mesh upper. It's still plenty flexible and breathable and is still very comfortable, but it's far more stylish than its predecessor.
Shoppers have taken note of the upgrades that come with the StealthFit model—and they're impressed. "Perfect balance of comfort and style," a shopper said. "I have to say, it’s quickly become my favorite running shoe. The fit is perfect—snug but not too tight, providing just the right amount of support. The cushioning is top-notch, absorbing impact effortlessly, which makes my runs feel much smoother. Plus, the design is sleek and modern, so it looks great whether I’m out for a run or just wearing them casually."
Others who count on Brooks for its renowned support say this one is on par with the best they're worn. "I've been wearing the Adrenaline GTS for years," a shopper began. "As a runner who suffered from chronic back and knee pain, the Glycerin is a huge upgrade in cushioning and comfort. Every step feels way more supportive and the impact is greatly reduced. The StealthFit works a lot better than I anticipated also. Unless lacing up for a run, you don't even need to re-tie them. Just slip them on and they feel secure and comfortable."
Whether you're looking for your next pair of supremely-comfortable runners or just a pair of sneakers that looks great with joggers and nicer sweats, Brooks' Glycerin StealthFit 21 should be at the top of the list because it was designed to tackle each scenario. Make sure to grab your size soon, though, because when Brooks' styles go on sale, they don't stick around for long.
