Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 5

Love them! They are beautiful and perfect for a run!

Pretty good fit, although it's got a pretty tall sole, so you're feel a bit taller. This also means it feels cushiony if that's what you want. It's an OK shoe and works well for runs around town.

I loved my Launch 3’s and really hoped the 5’s would measure up. Sadly, they feel oddly large and my feet tend to slide a lot. The length is perfect so maybe the width or fabric is the problem. The fabric is my second issue. The fabric on the instep on each side has already torn as you can see in the photo. Overall pretty disappointed with the 5 series.

I had an older version of the Brooks Launch as my workout shoes, and figured the newer version would work just fine! However, they didn't fit- they felt too small when I ordered the same size, and even when I ordered a half size larger! Returned both and ending up getting new balance

Comfortable but ugly. I'm a teacher and on my feet all day. Comfortable shoes are essential but they may as well be cute, too. These looked nicer in the photo. Brooks is a reliable, comfortable fit for me. Consistent in width, length and support. But I was looking for a nice looking gray/neutral shoe. These are just not cute at all. Returning them.

I absolutely love everything about these tennis shoes except that the fabric around the ankle is wearing off quickly. This seems to happen on all my Brooks tennis shoes. I’m a tennis shoe freak so I have a lot of pairs ?? it’s not like I wear them every day.

I bought this shoe because it is a "Brooks." In my experience Brooks has had very effectively engineered support systems for their shoes. They seem to have cut corners on this shoe. I purchased this shoe before my family vacation. It was intended to be my "lucky no-blister" shoe. Unfortunately this did not come true. There was insufficient support and cushion for the ball of my foot resulting in multiple blisters on my soles at the base of my toes. The bottom edges of my heels were also severely and repeatedly blistered. I would not recommend this shoe for support.

Great shoes. I'm a huge Brooks fan and would recommend for anyone looking to run or use at the gym. I love the Launch and continually buy them when they go on sale as that's the more affordable route for me. Highly recommend this brand!

This was my first pair of Brooks and I must say that I am a fan for life now. These are the most comfortable shoe that I own and I wear them to work on a daily basis. I will be ordering more Brooks in the future.

I love these sneakers and they look beautiful:)

These are great for everyday wear as well as for the gym. I love how they fit and they are comfortable even after wearing for hours. I even bought a 2nd pair!

Love the support in the heel and perfect toe box. The color is versatile to wear with sweats or jeans. Wear mostly for daily 45-60 minute walk on mostly concrete and no issues with foot, plantar or shin pain like some other brands. I cannot speak to how long they last, this is my first pair of Brooks but so far so good.

Super comfortable!

Walked 3 miles in them right out of the box! No break-in period needed. Super comfortable!

These shoes felt like well built tennis shoes, but I did not like the fit in the toes. Seemed to have too much padding above the toes. I tried 2 different sizes also just in case it had to do with the sizing.

Great shoe. I’m new to Brooks and this is my second pair. I like them very much. Very comfortable! My feet are used to ASICS and my feet now like Brooks too!

The launch is one of my go to Brooks styles. This style fits true to size and has plenty of cushion or comfort. This was my 3rd pair and I’ll be ordering the Launch 6 soon as well.

Absolutely love these shoes! I am a nurse and I bought them for work. They are so cute and comfy that I bought another pair for walking. I love Brooks shoes and haven’t changed brands since I started buying them 5 years ago. I’m on my feet a lot and had a badly fractured ankle 3 years ago so I only buy shoes that support my lifestyle. I have never been disappointed with my Brooks shoes! Love Zappos too, helpful customer service and excellent website ??

This shoe is comfortable and long lasting. We use the women’s shoe sizes for my 11-year-old son who can’t wear kids shoes, but the men’s sizes are too wide. This is a great alternative.

So far love the shoe, very comfortable and supportive. My wider foot doesn't feel crowded in the shoes.

Fit perfectly and I LOVE the look of these shoes!

I wear an 8 in normal shoes, but always order a 9 in running shoes, which I did here. Fit is fantastic, and there was no break in time - I took them for a run right out of the box and they were so comfortable and springy! I have plantar fasciitis in one foot, and it didn’t bother me at all during my run - which is really saying something.

Love these shows! Cute design and very comfortable.

I wear these allllll the time. Very comfy! They are a tad wider than most, but that works out for me, since I have wide feet.
