[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe was great! It has great looks, solid cushion, and plenty of support. I’ve never owned a pair of Brooks shoes before and I’ll definitely be buying more in the future. I’ve been using it for mainly indoor training on my treadmill. I didn’t need to wear it in like I normally do with running shoes. My knees, ankles, and balls of my feet have felt great after 10+ short 5k runs. I used them as my daily shoe on a work trip and had no issues with them doing plenty of stairs and walks to the office. They are a versatile shoe that can be dedicated to running or used as a daily shoe for everyday use. Highly recommended to anyone who is on the fence.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, I am a sprinter and normally do 100m or 200m repeats as part of my workouts. Occasionally, I’ll throw in some 4-6 milers as part of my cross-training. These shoes are EXTREMELY lightweight and comfortable. They give an extra bounce on fast runs! This was probably the first thing I noticed on my 100m repeats. I almost felt like I was running faster and it was easier to maintain good running form because of it. When I’m not running, the shoes are very comfortable. It honestly feels like I’m walking on soft foam…I almost forget they are on my feet. I’m a neutral runner with medium to high arches. I highly recommend this shoe if you’re an avid runner!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the feel of the M Launch 10! I wear a 13 and thought they fit true to size. The cushion was great for my runs. I usually run fairly short distances in the 2-5 mile range as a casual runner. I usually log around 10,000 steps or more at my job and I also like wearing them to work as well, they are comfortable to wear all day long. I love the blue and gray color scheme, it goes well with my workout gear and everyday clothing. I love that it provided sufficient padding for my feet on my runs. If I could change anything I would make it slightly wider, but only because I’ve been getting into wider toe box shoes as of later.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The M Launch 10 is an overall fantastic sneaker! It has an amazing sleek look to it with great colors. It looks modern with great lines and a great design. The colors really work well together. The shoe does run a little small so I would get a size bigger than what I got as it is a bit snug on my feet. It fits comfortably and would be perfect besides for being a little small. When walking and running in the shoe you feel a bounce in your step. When you put your foot down it pops right back up which is really nice. I've been able to wear them the whole day since they are so comfortable. I would highly recommend this shoe to anyone looking for a great running shoe.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are so lightweight and amazing to wear. I love the foam, it is firm and springy, you can really feel the road under your feet. They fit true to size and feel great on my slightly narrow feet. There are some pretty good looking colorways that the upper knit material comes in. The knit feels super durable and will hold your foot in the middle but is still breathable and comfortable. They are definitely constructed as running shoes and have a firmer, supportive feel when walking, If you are looking for something squishy and pillow soft, these might not be for you. Highly recommended for someone who is looking for super lightweight runners without any rigid upper supports.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay so I have never tried the Brooks M Launch series of shoes but when I tried on the M Launch 10s in the store - I was hooked. This is definitely my new favorite running shoe, I don't plan on using anything else until these are old. My favorite part of the shoe is how much bounce and support they give my feet. It's great on my joints and I feel like I have a little more pep in my step when using them. I recently wore them to play tennis for about 1-hour and found them very comfortable and great for that too. The only downside I could see is that they fit a little tighter than other shoes, but that does wrap my feet pretty well. Not a huge issue. 10/10 would recommend for casual and advanced runners!
I have run in almost every Launch model since the original, and managed about 500 miles in each - until the 10. It was apparent from the first run that these weren't as sturdy and wouldn't last as long as previous versions. But I was surprised just how quickly they wore out. After barely three months and 350 miles they are cooked, the souls smashed and treads tattered. I'm now scouring the internet for Launch 8's (the 9's were even worse than the 10's), a phenomenal shoe. Brooks, you are my running besties, but please don't rest on your laurels. With the Launch 11's, please return to the quality and craftsmanship that originally captured me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Some context: These shoes feel and look great. I’d say I’m an experienced runner (20+ years) but currently not training for anything specific, so my routine has included roughly 15 miles a week on both a treadmill and outside. Three miles here, four miles there. I really like how lightweight the shoes are but when I got them, I was a little concerned that the narrowness would irritate my feet. That’s typically the case for me, but these have really fit well — no issues at all. Bonus, I think they look good, as well, but that’s a very subjective thing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before the Brooks M10, I was using a shoe with minimal padding and low drop, so when I first put these on, the increased heel was noticeable, however after I took them out even for one run I could tell that my legs and feet were much less fatigued. By the second run, I tried increasing my stride length, which in the past gave me knee pain, but I’ve used them for around 15 miles and I haven’t noticed the usual pain. The cushion on these shoes is great and they also look stylish and sleek for everyday wear. Another design feature I liked was the slide at the heel for entering the shoe. Some shoes this area tends to collapse on me, but the M10 is stiff and makes dropping my foot in a breeze. So far I’ve been completely happy with nothing to complain about. Great shoe!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were my first pair of Brooks running shoes and they’ve definitely lived up to the hype. These shoes are light, comfortable, and have been great for all day use. The mesh breathes really well and my feet don’t get sweaty at the end of the day from casual use after wearing them for 8-9 hours straight. I can’t wait to take these shoes out for a spin on an actual run. As a casual runner (5-10 miles per week), these shoes will be a great go to for both running and casual daily use.
