Wonderful. I have had terrible luck with Brooks shoes. They are heavy and clunky. However, when my normal Asics model was out, a worker suggested this trainer, said they were similar models. So I gave it a go. It is wonderful. They are lightweight, so no more stomping, and they are very comfortable.

The shoes were perfect. I chose them from a article in Runner's World. I can never find my size at the stores and can always find it on Zappos. Their website is easy to use and I find what I am looking for. They send out the shoes in a day. They offer a guarantee, which I have never used because I am happy with my purchase. I would recommend Zappos to all of my friends and family.

I formerly ran in Mizuno Wave Riders (from the Wave Rider 8 through the Wave Rider 11). I love a light, responsive, flexible running shoe. When Mizuno stopped making the Wave Riders in a wide width, I was soooooo glad to find the Brooks Launch. To my feet, they feel like the Wave Rider 8 and 9, which had until now been my all-time favorites. The colors on the Launch are loud, but the fit and comfort more than make up for that in my book. I originally ordered size 7 (my size in the Mizunos), but had to exchange for the 6.5. Zappos service is great.

These are fantastic shoes with low arch support and great forefoot cushioning for those of us wishing we could run barefoot all the time, but acknowledging we need a bit more support for the asphalt half marathons. The fit (one size up) is the best part about this shoe, but the color has grown on me too after a bit.

Love, love, love these shoes. I’m not a runner. I wear these strictly for comfort and support. They are light weight and the color is off the charts. Highly recommend them.

Love these shoes! I did order a half size larger than I normally wear and use them for light running and working out. I used to run long distances and have always loved Brooks running shoes. I have several other pair, but these are by far the most cushioned in feel. I did feel rather conspicuous at first as the color is pretty bright, but received compliments at the gym and now I don't give the color another thought. Will buy more.

I love this shoe! It has got the right amount of support in all the right places. I either run the elliptical trainer for 40 minutes or run outside. This shoe has been great for both! Zappos is wonderful, too. I wouldn't shop anywhere else!

I started running with Brooks 25 years ago, switched to New Balance and now am back to Brooks. Brooks have a quality and durability I have come to appreciate. I bought these for my gym classes, for stability and the arch support. I am very satisfied, these shoes exceed my expectations. I wear a size 8B width and they fit perfect, no break in time, super comfy and light weight. I want to wear them all the time for my summer hikes but am trying to keep them my indoor work-out shoes. I was not sure about the color but now like it and get compliments! And as usual, Zappos customer service totally rocks.

Although they\'re a little bright, if you\'re prone to supination then these are the sneaks for you! Soft and cushy with a good tread. Suggest ordering a 1\/2 size up.

My first Brooks shoe but not my last. I usually wear a 9 street shoe but 9.5 running sneaker so the size was right on. I love This running sneaker. i chose it because it was listed as a top choice by runners (runners mag maybe) and I thought I would give it a try. it gives a great cushion spring in each stride and does not feel stiff. I run mainly on pavement, clay track, or treadmill.

I like Brooks athletic shoes but feel like these didn\'t offer as much overall support as ones I have owned in the past. They are lightweight and cool if your feet tend to get hot. I like a grey or colored sole best, so the white really stands out to me. I like the colors on the rest of the shoe though.

These shoes are awesome! I ran XCountry & Track in college and have tried several running shoes. Brooks is hands down the winner & this shoe in particular is lightweight, cushioned & versatile.

Beautiful, light shoe that seems to offer good support. It runs about a half size small. I'm returning these partly because of the size issue but also because they are ugly! I like the yellow, but the purple laces and lining just don't cut it for me. It's a real shame.

I love these shoes! I purchased a pair of SuperFeet in berry to go along with these since I was having extreme heel pain after work, and was amazed that I didn't even need them with these shoes! The arch support is amazing in these for someone who has medium to high arches. I am a scrub tech in the OR so with me being on my feet all day, I need a good arch support and cushioned heel! After trying several different brands, I am so relieved to have found one that does such an excellent job, and right out of the box at that!

I wore Asics for a long time (first the Gel Nimbus and then the DS Trainer) but got tired of the increasingly tighter feeling fit in the toebox, less cushioning and plasticky structure. I was scared to switch to Brooks but after reading the reviews I took the plunge and it was well worth it. The Launch fits like my original Gel Nimbus did 5 or so years ago. I love the cushioning especially in the heel, the roomy toebox and the airy mesh all over. They are so light yet fit like a glove. I wear the same size as my old Asics and will be buying more if this same shoe in the future.
