Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 5

Love these! They are very comfortable and great for running/walking.

I previously had the Launch 3, but was due to get a new pair. Decided to go with the new version and don't regret it. They're just as amazing and comfortable as the earlier pair I owned.

I’ve always worn Glycerin or saucony triumphs, and these are just as comfortable! Thinking of getting a second pair.

Very comfortable and lightweight.

After swearing off ASICS this is my first pair of Brooks, generally i find them less attractive then their competitors but this one I could live with. In surprised how cushiony they are to wear, even around the ankle it’s just instant comfort. I wore them to work one day (12 hours) and my feet still hurt at the end of the day but that’s not what I bought them for anyway. Originally I bought an 8.5 as I am a true 8.5 but ended up thinking a 9 was my best bet. If there was an 8.75 i would have purchased that! Overall, I will buy brooks again ... the fact that their comfort shoe is comfortable makes me believe their functional shoe is functional and comfortable.

I love this shoe. I have very flat feet and I overpronate. I love that I can use my orthotic and the sole is nice and rigid. love this brand

I wore these shoe the next two day I received them. Comfortable, the color pink,blue and white is great and the material feels smooth on my feet. I am a Nurse and was at work for 12hrs that day and my lower back pain felt great, as well as my feet. The cushion in the launch 5 is amazing!!!!!

These are great! Barely feels like I’m wearing shoes. Comfortable. Lightweight. Cool colors. Only one negative. I got blisters on the back of my heels wearing these.

Great style that upped my St Patrick’s Day styling game and will keep me “running lucky” for the summer months. Comfortable right out of the box with no break in time needed and ran true to size.

To be honest, I got these shoes because I loved the lobsters on the soles. I thought that was funny and cute. But, I'm very pleased overall. Lots of cushion, nice follow-through support with the stride, and good support. And, I can't believe how much LIGHTER these are than my Nikes that I'm replacing. Arch support could definitely be better, but overall really like them.

The Launch 5 is so much more comfortable than the 4. Better cushioning, wider toe box, and not as stiff through the arch. Had to go up half a size. Shamrock pattern is super cute and everyone wanted to know where I got them at my St. Paddy's Day 5k.

I love the shoe design. The color is great. But I've felt that this year and last year versions have less support than in the past. This is probably the 10th pair of Brooks that I have purchased and I've had much better support. Still a great shoe, but now I have to wear an insert in them to be what I really need. Zappos did a great job. Good price and they came quickly.

First time wearing brooks. Great amount of cushion. Working well on treadmill runs so far.

Love them and may buy a second pair!!

This is my second pair of this particular shoe. Not my very favorite brooks, but quite good.

Feel and fit are true look nice quality is good so far

Normally wear a 10.5 but needed an 11 in this shoe. First time wearing Brooks.

This is my 3rd pair. Comfortable right out of the box, minimum arch support. Light weight. When I'm not at work (healthcare 12hr shifts) I wear them all day. I'm a daily runner (3-4miles day) plus occasional fitness classes, and after 3 pairs, I'm finding that they don't last longer than 6 months, they start to tear, get holes, flatten out and lose support, and then my feet start to hurt. They're a great running shoe but not supportive enough for work. If you don't mind investing in a pair every 6 months, try them.

These have been nice and comfy for runs and gym training. On the advice of the other reviews I ordered a half size bigger than my last running shoes of another brand, and that was accurate.

I bought these for my 11 year old athlete daughter, who is quite picky about shoes. She has long, flat feet & these shoes provide enough structure & support that she does not feel like she needs to use Superfeet inserts with them. As a bonus, they have been deemed cute enough to wear to school. Whew!

Fit well. I love the color. Priced well. Very happy with this purchase!

I have loved every Brooks running shoe I've bought. These particular Launch 5, while comfortable, are much hotter than the past Brooks shoes I've had though. I'm glad I got these heading into the winter season. They would have been much too hot for our Mississippi summers. I love the extra toe room in the Brooks shoes. I always have issues with toe nail damage when wearing other running shoes, but the Brooks shoes seem to be more spacious in the toe.

I had tried these shoes on at a shoe store and felt I needed to order 1/2 size larger than my normal shoe size.

Nice lightweight shoe. Works with my orthotics. Not bad for very difficult feet.

Nice shoes, good looking and stylish for a sneaker, but didn’t work for me. If they’d been available in a Wide, they may have been all right, but as it was, they were a bit snug. I really should have known better - my other Brooks are an 8W....so I returned them, and am thankful for the ease of doing so with Zappos!
