Great choice

I’m very happy with this shoe . I’m a senior in my 80s and this shoe the adequate support I need. In the past I’ve worn the ghost series however in the future this is going to be the shoe I will purchase. Great shoe for working out in the gym.

Light, comfy shoes perfect for exploring

Grabbed these for a 10-day Italy trip and couldn’t be happier. I was a little worried about not having enough time to break them in (bought them about two weeks before), but they were comfy right out of the box. Walked miles every day—on cobblestones, pavement, dirt—you name it, and never had sore feet or knees. They’re lightweight, great for the long flight, and looked decent with both shorts and nicer outfits. I don’t usually spend this much on shoes, but these were totally worth it.

Not wide enough for a wide

Ordered these to use for walking and specified wide. Unfortunately, wide seems to be a fluid term and means one thing to one shoe maker and another to some other ones. The construction of the shoes seems solid but the width is still too narrow to trek long distances with my foot smashed into the shoe. Not the fault of Brooks but it would be helpful if they had an extra wide. Will be returning for refund.

Too small

I’ve worn size 15 running shoes consistently for years and have had 3 other pairs of Brooks but these were significantly smaller (about a whole size) and were too small for me to wear at all so I had to return them. They seem like a good shoe but it would be nice to have some consistent sizing. If you’re looking at these I would go a size larger than you normally buy.

Love Launch

Brooks Launch got me into Brooks. I love the Launch series. It made me love Brooks as a brand. I’ve tried a few other models of Brooks and I still think Launch is the best. This version maintains the series progression nicely.

Smaller than Prior Versions

Like all Launch versions, these are great for miles on pavement. Unlike previous models, these tend to run small. I know that's a common complaint among Brooks shoes, but it seems to be more pronounced in this version.

These Will Get Me Back Into Jogging.

First pair of proper running shoes in over 10 years, so not a lot to compare to, but so far they feel like they are going to be comfortable and help me get back into it. Time will tell on durability.

Smaller

A solid entrant in the Launch line. They feel great on runs...but they run small. Typically a US10M--these are at least a half size small.
