Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 4

I have a pair of launch's from a couple years ago and I still love these. Great support, feel like air running in them. These will be my running shoes from now on.

Perfect fit, true to size with Brooks running shoes.

I have a pair of Ghost 7 I bought a few years back. They were my favorite shoes until I bought these. Nice arch support, wide enough toe box for comfort without looking bulky, and the outer material is perfection. I have had a lot of compliments on the appearance of the shoes, and I can always say that they're even better than they look.

Love these shoes! I wore the Brooks Pure Flow for years until the Model 5 came along. It was terribly uncomfortable! Brooks made some improvements with the Pure Flow 6, but it still wasn't up to snuff. So I took a chance with the Launch 4 and I'm so glad I did. I had a short run with them right out of the box, then wore them a few days later for a half marathon. Total comfort. I highly recommend this neutral shoe for supinators.

These shoes fit right out of the box! Like pillowy clouds hugging my soles! What great shoes! I have high arches and I wasn't sure if there would be enough support but I have been running in them everyday since I got them and they haven't made my feet sore at all!

Very happy with these Launch 4.

I've been a huge fan of Brooks for a long time, but this is my first pair of the Launch. They are super comfortable for both running and working on my feet all day. I've tried New Balance and Nike for running but keep coming back to Brooks because they are the tops for comfort.

Love Brooks & I love these shoes. I get complements on them every time I wear them!

I hear a lot of good things about Brooks. I'm not a runner, I walk, cycle, and do HIIT for cardio so most of my shoes are pretty thin and flexible and these shoes are not. They to me were heavy and felt like a lot of shoe. While this wont make me give up on Brooks, Ill probably go to a store and try on lots of different Brooks options.

Cute shoe. Not near enough cushion in the sole. Have to return.

This is a great running shoe. I didn't feel like it had enough support for quick movement action, i.e. Volleyball, basketball, etc.

Being in the market for a new pair of sneakers - I was so excited to receive these. I am not a runner, but everyone was raving about how comfortable these sneakers are - and I am a huge fan of comfortable shoes of any kind. So, I thought I would give them a shot. I cannot, for the life of me, decide if they are comfortable. They are superbly firm when you first put them on, then the longer I walked around my apartment in them, the more comfortable they seemed. That said, the sole has no give or flexibility. They also have very little arch support (again - not being a runner, I'm not sure if this is normal for running sneakers). I marked them as true to size, but I could have stood to go up a half size, though they were every so slightly short - not a full half size short. Back they go!

Overall I love these shoes! I am more of a weaker than a runner, but have heard such good things about Brooks so I wanted to try. Not disappointed!! Very comfortable and light. I took the advice from the reviews and ordered a half size up and am happy I did. I wasn’t sure if I was going to love the look, but they ended up being much cuter than I thought.

These are nice shoes but the sizing is WAY WAY WAY off. Like 2 whole shoe sizes off. Someone at Brooks needs to fix this. Their sizing has nothing to do with normal shoe sizing.

Toe narrow- tight...

Nothing like a fresh pair of Brooks on the feet. This is my second pair of launch 4s and I've had no complaints. Love that they are coming out with more color combos

I've been running in trail shoes for a while now, even though I often run pavement, so I thought it was time to get some new road runners. I chose Brooks because I have both their Cascadia (size 6.5) and Ghost (size 7) shoes, so I ordered a 7 in the Launch 4 since other reviewers said they were small. First, let me say the shipping here at Zappos is incredible! I received my shoes less than 24 hours after ordering. WOW. I found the shoes to be tighter than my other Brooks by about a half size. I decided to keep them though, and did a test run (2.5 miles). These shoes were noticeably different from my current running shoes. I found them to literally propel me forward, thus increasing my speed. They also did a terrific job of stabilizing my feet so that my pronation was corrected. However, because they made my feet land more neutral, I found that I experienced a bit of discomfort/pain after I took them off. Bad? Good? Hopefully it is the pain of correction from my sloppy step in trail shoes. I've been walking my dogs in these shoes too, trying to break them in. The backs irritated my heels, only while walking, and created hot spots. Not an issue while running though. Aesthetically, these are nice. I went with the plum color. Overall, 4 stars. Not my all-time favorite shoes, but not my least favorite either.

Very nice shoe but runs small and narrow. I normally wear a 9 in a running shoe and in these my toe is right at the end. Cannot wear heavy socks. Thinking about trying a 9 1/2.

I have to update an earlier review. While this shoe has style and support, it runs narrow. I am unable to wear these shoes any longer due to the pain of the narrow width at the ball of my foot. Brooks, please make your trendy shoes in wide widths!

These were pretty darn comfy although the laces were oddly short. In the end I picked a pair of ASICS FuzeX Lyte 2 instead.

I had to exchange for a half size bigger and now they are perfect! Super light, and great for training runs. I loved the Launch 3 and these are almost the same!

Usually I order a half size up (9) from my normal shoe size (8.5) for Brooks running shoes. However, run even smaller than usual, so I had to return for a 9.5. Once I had the right size, they fit well and provide a decent amount of cushioning and feel light on my feet. Last year's model seemed to have better cushioning in my opinion. But I will keep these. I ordered Kasbah Sunset, love the colors.

Nice running show that runs a little bit wide which is great when my feet are not a true wide width. Cute style and don't make my feet look like boats (size 9.5:))

My new favorite shoe! I've been a fan of the Ghost by Brooks for years and have stayed faithful to that style until the Brooks fit program showed my perfect fit would be the Launch. I thought I'd give it a try and ordered my usual size 8. This shoe seems to fit a bit more narrow, so I tried an 8 1/2. Perfect! Loving the support and cushion it provides. I've recommended this style to friends.
