Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 5

This is my first Brooks running shoe and it feels very comfortable and light.

Love this shoes. First time wearing Brooks but won’t be the last!

Brooks has become my favorite running shoe. These replace a previous pair of size 12, but they feel just a tad larger. Still instantly comfortable and a well built shoe. Much lighter than my previous pair too! I used Brooks' fit guide (I'm a neutral) on their website then took those recommendations over to Zappos.

Very lightweight but comfortable for my training runs.

I have very hard to fit feet. I dread shoe shopping subsequently. I needed a shoe to fit my arch supports , comfortably . I love that the shoe’s arch support is removable to accommodate an orthotic . I have a chronic posterior tibialis tendinitis from my lifelong very flat feet . With the orthotics used in these shoes , my tendinitis is totally quiet . I feel like I am walking on a cloud with a supportive foot hug. Very comfortable ! I am buying my second pair. I am delighted to finally have an every day comfort shoe !

The shoes are very comfortable. I have owned a pair of Brooks before and they were a little narrow in the toe bed. So this time I ordered 1/2 size bigger and that solved the problem. These size 12.5 fit much better than my 12 that I had ordered previously.

Once again, Brooks does a great job with the fit, style and function of this shoe as well as the design! I could get one in every color- This shoe wears well, is extremely comfortable and provides plenty of support!

My son loves them. Tried them on after trying on another brand shoe popular with tween boys, told me to return them and kept these. Bought another pair a half size up since he’s growing so quickly. Brooks is also my go-to brand of running shoe, so not surprised my son loves them as well.

My 15 yo son bought these for cross country running and he can't stop raving about them. He under-pronates a little bit, and they seem to provide just enough support without being "clunky".

Five Star rating throughout . . . love 'em. Not a serious runner, but the comfort the provide is unbelievable.

Brooks makes very nice shoes. Of course now that I purchase them, they go on sale... Nonetheless, light and well made. I have used Brooks for my running shoes for 30 years

Very comfortable shoe . . . lightweight, with a very easy "break in period." I would purchase this product again, w/out question.

I purchased the red, white and blue ones for my husband and he LOVES them! He typically takes a size 11 in NIKE so that's what I ordered, and they fit great. It's the first time he's owned Brooks and he was surprised at their comfort level (he's had foot surgery on both feet). Great product. Highly recommend.

Brooks is my favorite shoe. I usually get my Ghost on. So this is my first Launch pair. They’re good. But not great. They’re a little too narrow for me.

Hubby loves them!

These are great! Zappos is THE only place that had them in the flag motif - Brooks doesn't even have them. One day free shipping. What could possibly go wrong?

These Brooks I have several pairs different colors but found half a size bigger fits perfectly

I got these for my dad who has plantar fasciitis. He loves them and said they feel better than any other shoe he has and he can't believe how light they are.

just got these for my growing teenage sons, they are not only really nice looking, the boys feet are finally without pain or tenderness anywhere. my boys have autism and their gate can be irregular leading to various pains etc, these sneakers are very supportive so far and no complaints its been 2 weeks , im very pleased.

There's nothing like the feeling of putting on a new shoe. When I slid these on, it was like two little clouds pulled alongside me to join me for my run. I've done two runs in them so far, and I've thoroughly enjoyed them. They live up to the Launch name.

Took them out of the box, re-laced them, walked around the house in them for 5 minutes and then took them on an 8-mile run. They felt great! The springy-ness, bounce-back or whatever you want to call it was really awesome! So far, so good!

My teenage son liked the comfort and the look very much once we got the right size. This show fit normally in length but was tighter across the foot than the other shoes we ordered to try. We ordered a half size up which fit a half size bigger in length but made the width acceptable. He feels it isn’t too long and won’t cause problems that way so we are keeping them. This is to be used for everyday wear to school. It is a nice looking shoe. He chose the black/green/blue combo.

I usually wear Brooks Ghost, so I decided to try Brooks Launch. They’re good but a little too narrow for me.

Great shoe, very comfortable

I got a pair of size 10 shoes in a box marked 10.5. I'm returning these and getting a real 10.5. Then I'll see how they fit.
