Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 6

I have the Launch 5’s and love them, I seem to fluctuate between a 9 and 9.5 in Brooks although my true size is an 8.5 and ordered the 9, they just didn’t feel right so I exchanged them for a 9.5 although they were out of this fun color so I had to choose a different one. I am trying to find an arch insert to help me with these as after long hard runs I do start to pronate with my high arches.

I wore these sneaker four days in a row not much walking on those days for some reason my arch was killing me never had this before stopped wearing them and never had the issue again very strange maybe the arch was to high for me I honestly do not know the pain was so bad I would not try them again have to return them

These were really cute, but were a little too big. I kept another pair of Brooks running shoes in the same size that fit great.

I say moderate arch support but I’m not a hundred percent sure on that. I walked around with them before I put my orthotics in, it wasn’t very long. Wide toe box. Very comfortable in the bunion area.

Great footbed width! The arch support is exactly as it says-moderate. I don't need much more than that but they are cushy and breathable. They are very cute and make my feet look huge. I've taken them to the pavement a few times for walking and jogging. Both experiences have been comfortable. I think it's a decent shoe!

The fit is good. The toe box is wide, which is good. The shoelaces are a little short causing me to tie them tighter than I would like. I don’t like the random sparkles in my color. The end of one of my shoelaces looks gnawed on. I didn’t notice until I had already worn them several hours at work after receiving them at work. But they definitely came that way. I believe they’re supposed to be neutral which is what I wear, but they do feel like they turn my ankles inward ever so slightly.

Feels good. Hope my feet like them after a tough game of pickleball.

Wanted to love these, however, felt too narrow for my foot. Due to them feeling "tight", it's hard to judge the rest of the shoe. I walk 3 miles a day and looking for a replacement for my Ghost 10, so far, looking like the Ghost 11 will once again edge out the others. Returning.

This is a comfortable shoe for walking. I love Brooks and this one does not disappoint. I prefer Ghost but they have stopped making the Ghost in a wide so I had to give this one a try.

To have a comfortable arch, I always have to put in my own inserts. The arch of the BL6 isn't excellent but I could actually comfortably wear them with their original insert. I like these a lot.

I usually wear the ghost 11 but I decided to try these. They are not as bouncy a feel

A little darker than it appears on my computer screen. I usually wear a 6 but ordered a 6.5 and it fits, but possibly should have ordered the wide instead. The shoe is somewhat stiff right now but I'm sure it will break in nicely. The toe box is a tad tight, but not uncomfortably so. Quality is top notch - clean lines, crisp detailing, very cool looking shoe. Strings are a bit snug so they don't pull thru easily. The insole feels a little rough but then I usually add foam insoles for comfort. Overall, I like these very much and would definitely recommend and buy again.

I have bought Brooks shoes for many years, though this is the first time I have bought the Launch. When I first wore it in the house, I thought I might not keep them since I was so used to the comfort of the Brooks Glyceriin and Ghost. But I think they are going to be okay, not as cushy as the other two, but comfortable enough to alternate them with the others.

I like the springy feel of these shoes and they mild to your feet instantly. I have wide flat feet.

I have bunions on both feet. Even in wide these shoes are too narrow. They are cute but the toe box isn’t deep or wide enough for us gals with more serious bunions. I love the Brooks Adrenaline for my troublesome feet.

I wanted theses shoes to fit so badly! They have a narrow, shallow toe box and even the wide was too narrow for my feet. I have bunions and Morton’s Neuroma. These are cute but if you have problem feet you might do better trying the Brooks Adrenaline or Ariel which offer more room and comfort for the ball of the foot.

Finally, a cute shoe from Brooks! I get a lot of compliments when I wear these sneakers. I overpronate and have bunions and wide feet, and these work well for me. I will say that I gave 4/5 stars instead of 5/5 because the shoes don’t come up nearly as high as other Brooks I have, so they show a lot more of my socks and offers less ankle protection/support; they’re like “low riders.” Overall, these shoes are cute and make me feel like I’m walking on a cloud.

I wear a 7.5 wide, and the fit was really good. Unfortunately, I was really unhappy with the gray color. To me it was a really "dirty" gray.

I love this shoe(Ricochet)... the color white, grey black combo is really nice and neutral. The fit of this shoe is great except that it does not have enough cushion for my arthritic feet...I need all the cushion I can get as I walk everyday and use the eliptical twice a week ....not to mention I am on my feet almost all day. This says it energizes your feet...and for most people I think that would be true. I hope this helps you make your decision.

I have not worn these as of yet. giving them a try, because I recently moved from ASICS to Brooks. I will be using these in exercise classes and light walking. I love the style . they are a lil big in the toe box for my narrow foot. but a good sock will be the answer. Brooks used to be way to wide for me. As I have aged (early 60s) they seem to fit better. all about comfort. my last few pairs of asics really trashed my right lil toe. brooks dont do that. I have been wearing the Revel 2 for 3 or 4 times ... so far so good.

Although I wear a 6.5 in regular shoes I always go a half size up for my running shoes so I thought it would be a no-brainer to order a 7 in these. I was so excited when these arrived: the box, the color, the pattern, the laces...adorable!! I run 3-4x/week, 5-6 miles, and I was super excited to get to it in these awesome shoes. Unfortunately the size 7 was noticeably too long and my heels slipped in the back. I went back to reorder a 6.5 and they were sold out! Such a bummer. I got on the waitlist and happily 2 days later a 6.5 was available. When I received these the length was perfect but they were tighter in the width than I was accustomed to wearing. I loved them so much I decided to take give them a chance, take them to the gym and try a run. Although tighter than my previous running shoes (Saucony) comfortable enough to run in and getting better with each run.

I have a pair of Levitate shoes and I found those to be a little more comfortable than the Launch 6.

Almost sent them back, Ghost 10 were more comfortable. These feel like walking on a stiff board! Hoping I can change the insole and they will be more comfortable.
