Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 6

I really liked the shoe except it was too small. (Tues to close to the front of the shoe) I normally wear an 8 but an 8 and an 8 1/2 were to small so I’ve ordered a 9. Hoping it fits because the overall comfort of the shoe is good and it seems supportive.

The shoe is stylish, comfortable and lightweight. However, I don’t feel it has as much cushioning and support as I need. I will be returning it and going back to other models of Brooks that I have worn in the past.

I am a 7.5 and they fit true to size. Nice material, not a ton of support. Nice shoe, would buy again

For years I am using (BrooksGhost ) and i stayed with them.

The laces are much brighter than they appear in the pictures.

Good looking shoes, but way too big for me.... already worn them so I can’t return them ?

Love them! Good fit and comfortable. I have a very high arch and find there isn't a great deal of support but they are still very comfortable and fit well. I have had to order a half size larger in the past when ordering Brooks but these are true to size for me.

Everything is good with the shoe but they make a swishy sound when walking.

Love these red white and blue Stars and Stripes! I usually wear an 8 and got these in a 7.5 and they feel like 8’s normally feel on me. Comfortable, feel good shoes.

Brooks were my go-to shoe back in my high school cross country days, so I really wanted to love this pair. I went with the 9.5 wide. The length was okay, and the width was manageable. What surprised me was the cramped toe box area, which has never really been a problem. I ended up returning the order.

Nice show just didnt care for color

These were immediately comfortable. I wear an 8.5 street shoe but always a 9 in athletic shoes. There's a little space forward of my big toe. It remains to be seen if my toe might wear through the fabric as there is no inside protection. I would say these are not as wide as some Medium sized shoes and would recommend a Wide if your foot requires the extra space.

I think these shoes would be good for walking or a job where you’re on your feet all day, but I bought them for outdoor running and HIIT workouts, and I had to return them. I bought my true size 8, and the heel area would slip when I tried to run. Also, beware that the teal/black color has gold glitter that is not pictured.

Back in my dancing days, an instructor told me to buy shoes that were too small, and I did. I got used to working out in shoes that made me bleed. But now my dancing days are pretty much over -- no need to bleed, or feel uncomfortable. While I love Brooks sneakers, I think that Brooks is like any other thing, ie, you get what you pay for. I loved the look of these shoes, but now that I've worn them to one gym class (cardio, weights, balance, stretch), I see that they're not as "strong" as I would like them to be. The fabric is shiny and attractive -- but it's fabric, and it gives. So my feet are slipping around in them a little. Still, they will do well for me -- I'm not at a competitive level or anything like that. And of course, gym friends already picked up on the purple soles. I would not recommend these sneakers for running, but for walking, gym classes, general use, yes. The toe box feels a hair too spacious; if I were more patient, I might've tried these in 8.5. But my toes are grateful for the room. Maybe next time, I'll buy the more expensive ones.

The show seemed to fit fine and was comfortable wearing around but I have planted fasciitis and had increased heel pain and hamstring tightness when I ran in these. I don’t think they are bad shoes, just not for me! I’m returning in exchange for the ghost 12.

Better arch support than most but still would have liked more support. Was told that the D width was more like a medium width at a brick and mortar store and you can adjust that by lacing tighter. The heels fit great so all in all I am satisfied with this purchase and would recommend these shoes.

They felt just very slightly narrow for me. I have a slightly wide foot, not wide enough to warrant buying an official “wide” but I need my shoes to be cut on the wider side. They didn’t feel tight enough to return, just wearing a thinner sock made the difference. My usual size is an 8 which is what I got and they fit true to size. What I wasn’t crazy about was the color. What I thought were white threads woven through the gray were actually silver. I’m keeping them anyway, hoping the silver fades over time and use. So the width and color were slightly disappointing but not enough to override the comfort.

I had the previous version of the Brooks Launch and I loved them. The soles did wear pretty quickly, but it seemed like a no-brainer to order these to replace them. The first time I wore them on a 4 mile walk (sidewalks and roadways) by mile 2 I felt like I was walking directly on the cement, and my feet hurt so badly by the time I got home that I knew there was no way these have the same cushion and support as the Launch 5 - Back they went!

This is my first pair of Launches after four versions of the Adrenalines. These feel a little more snug and not nearly as cushiony or supportive. But they will work for light runs and long walks ... and they look super cool.

The styling on these shoes is so fun. I wish they were a little wider or came in a wide width. I generally wear an 8.5 and these are close to the right length. The covering is soft so my toes touch on my larger foot, but it is not uncomfortable. I'm debating whether to keep them. I'm also going to try the Levitate before I decide. I won't wear them for running but would like them for walking. We'll see.....

Great fit! Really happy with this pair of Brooks.

Very comfy right out of the box. Fortunately I had read reviews that said these shoes run a touch narrow; since I prefer narrow widths and couldn’t find a shoe my size I liked in narrow. They fit well, roomy toe box, flexible, with decent arch support.
