Worn for the first time today in a 5k, will wear tomorrow for a 7 miler and I'm a bit nervous. They were "ok" for 5k but I'm not sure what to expect for the longer distance. This is my first experience with Brooks and they don't feel very substantial. I have a couple of blisters which isn't normal for me for this short a distance. Love the design though

I bought these shamrock shoes on a whim, never wearing Brooks Launch before (I wear Adrenaline GTS 18 right now), but the style was too cute to pass up. I wear an 8.5 in running shoes for some extra toe length, and I like the more narrow toe box. My feet don't look enormous in them. The support is less than what I feel in the Adrenaline model, but they seem OK. I am disappointed in the quality of the shoelace. They are thin and cheap feeling. Overall, I'm happy. The green isn't too obnoxious but obviously St. Patrick's Day.

These shoes are absolutely stylin' in person. They're sassy and exciting, and I was so keen to put them on and take them out for a spin with the matching Run Lucky socks I got. They're nice and light and wouldn't weigh you down on the run. I slid them on and unfortunately felt too much of a pinch in the toe area just walking around the house. I normally would wear a 6.5 and Zappos suggested a 7, which is what I ordered. The length and heel fit well, but it was just too narrow at the front. If you wear regular width normally, these should be fine. The design is just outstanding though. I instantly fell in love and just wish they fit better.

I like Brooks ghost shoes for running however Launch 6 does not have enough cushion for me to run in. I like wearing the fun green shamrocks for walking shoes. I also have the launch white with blue stars & red trim from last year July 4. I love wearing fun shoes. I wish Brooks would make the ghost infun themes so I could run in em

These are super cute. Like someone else said, I won’t be running long distances in theses shoes as I require more supportive shoes for long distances, these are perfect to wear around town running errands ...

This is the 2nd pair of the Brooks Launch 6 I've bought. These are the latigo/pacific/nightlife & I also have the gray/black/purple with the neon orange laces. I don't run but wear them for weight lifting, zumba, etc, and they are really comfortable & supportive. The only reason I gave them 4 stars overall is because I have a very narrow foot & wish these were offered in a narrow width, but I can cinch the laces tight enough that they are snug & comfortable.

Cute shoe however, I like a little more substance in my footwear. These are light weight - just not for me. Thanks Zappos for makings shopping so easy. I’ve purchased 9 pair of shoes in the past week. Trying to find a few pair of shoes that feel good while I deal with PLANTAR FASCIITIS!!

I purchased these after taking the online quiz. I'm not overly impressed as I thought I would be. I still experience discomfort in my left knee and toes when I go for a run.

Not my favorite, I wear a 6.5 in the Ghost 12, however 6.5 in the Launch 6 is too tight. If you have been running with the Ghost 12 I would not recommend switching to these, I felt and noticed the difference right away. I love my ghost 12 though, best shoes I have ever owned!

I love the Brooks Launch because it is one of the only shoes I can run in! I have been buying this model for quite a while but the most recent models have not had near the life span of my first couple pairs. I believe the reason is because of the new material on the top of the shoe- it was switched to a fabric that was more strechy and I liked the support of the initial stiff fabric.

Sorry, this has nothing to do with the shoe that I really wanted, nor with the Customer Service Folks who helped me and were amazing. Mostly just about this shoe that I ordered, the shipping method was switched due to CoVid19, and were undeliverable to my PO Box. So, they were sent back without any notification to me until days after it all occurred and the shoes were placed back in your stock and sold to another without any contact to me about what happened until after my second inquiry call. I have ordered a new pair and am still awaiting their arrival, hopefully THIS TIME, I will receive what I ordered.

I have a foot that is wide in front, has high arch and narrow heel. This shoe does not have the support I need so they are very uncomfortable for me. Sadly,I will send them back. And also , the Ravenna that I bought which is similar. Both shoes cause my heel to slip and my feet don't sit proerly over the arch. I need a more cushioned shoe. so I purchased the Adrenaline GTX which is perfect for my foor.

I love that they?re lightweight and an attractive looking shoe, but the arch support hits too far back for my foot. Because of this, I plan to use them for cycling rather than walking long distances or running.

Really like the look and overall fit but they feel very narrow. I might need to return them for a wide fit (never had to do that) or consider maybe a thinner sock. A little disappointed. This is my first pair of Brooks that have not fit right out of the box.

This shoe didn't have enough arch support , but toe box was wide like I need it for mortons neuromas. The tongue like the Ghost 12 was rough but not as bad as the Ghost but still bothered the top of my foot. Colors aren't that great but still need some shoes for these problem feet. Thanks to Zappos I can order shoes after shoes and no charges for delivery or returns!!!

My foot did not feel secure in this shoe I believe this is due to the relatively narrow tongue and less depth to this shoe. I have worn Launch in the past and they were an awesome shoe. I hope going forward this will be addressed.

They fit terrific but the orange color is really neon pink-ish red. Too bright for me.
