I love the snugness of this shoe. The sole is comfortable, but it is not "over inflated" as I feel many other shoes are these days. Many shoes give me a bouncy feeling. This shoe feels like it connects me with the ground. This was also the reason why I loved my pair of Launch 2 I bought last year. Launch 4 is very similar. The main difference for me is the heel. The heel on Launch 4 gave me a blister walking for 30 minutes so unfortunately it did not fit my foot. Still I believe this is an excellent product, just not for my foot.
I bought these shoes less than a month ago. Never used this brand before and was excited... Sorry to say the fit was not right. I gave it several tries but my soles would burn and then my knees started hurting... Sooo bummed I like the comfort i felt initially but when i started to encrease my running they started to kill me :(
I've been running in the Brooks Launch shoe for a couple of years, and each update seems to bring solid improvements, and the 4 is no different. These are also comfortable and casual for running errands and long walks, and I like having a more subtle color option (black and white marble vs the usual neon).
I don't run but I do walk a lot. As soon as I tried these on at REI I knew they were the shoes for me. They are very comfortable and fit well. I have been wearing them for several weeks and I'm happy with my purchase.
Great sneaker and less expensive than the Glycerin or Ghost that I've purchased in the past. Based on my arch and support this shoe fits the bill. Extremely comfortable!
I'm so happy I bought these shoes I'm a picky person when it comes to running shoes. They worked out for me and I haven't had any problems with my Bunyan. Thank you REI
I work and walk all-out for hours. Arthitis in my feet can be unbearable these help quite a bit. They are too narrow in the toe though.
The she has no break in time. Super comfortable. I have heel spurs and I use this shoe for walking and exercise. Very pleased
As my first running shoes, i am very happy with them: Comfortable, give great support, light.
