Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 6

I purchased these Irish sneakers for fun because I always dress up for St. Paddy’s Day and I love them so much! When I tried them on they felt so comfortable and light. Made it feel like I was walking on clouds.

For athletic shoes I size up. My normal shoe size is a 9 in Nike and Asics I wear a 10. I tried a 10 in these and they were too big. 9.5 is perfect with plenty of room for running, or crossfit. Super adorable especially since my son goes to Notre Dame! Very comfortable despite my very flat feet.

These shoes are so comfy! I would not call myself a "runner" but I get in about 15 miles a week. These shoes don't disappoint and will be very fun for my St. Patricks Day run!

I own another pair of Brooks shoes in a different style. I ordered the same size as my current pair, and this new pair felt much bigger than my previous pair. I am exchanging for a half size smaller and hoping they work.

When I received this shoe I was taken aback to see that the uppers have glittery metallic thread. The color I ordered was "Black/Atlantic/Gold" which perhaps should have tipped me off, but you can't tell from the photo and the written description doesn't mentioned that the shoes actually sparkle. I really think this should be stated clearly, in bold letters, unless it's obvious from the photo. Normally I would never wear anything that glitters, but I like the rest of the shoe, the sparkle is pretty subtle, and who looks at my feet anyway?

I’ve been an Adrenaline wearer since 2011 for running shoes and bought these for daily wear that will support my feet well - MAYBE a potential running shoe. I’m normally a 9.5 in dress shoes but casual/athletic I wear a 10 for more room in the toe box and purchased these in the 10. Compared to my 2019 Adrenalines and other athletic shoes, these feel closer to a 9.5. Comfy enough to wear walking or at work so I will keep them, but not to exercise.

These are a great lightweight shoe. They do seem to have a lower heel which may cause issues for some. Not as cushiony as my Ghosts. I absolutely love the color combo!

I ordered this Brooks Launch 2 and the Brooks Levitate 2 at the same time to compare. Both were equally comfortable. I look for a lot of cushioning in a shoe after decades of running and these both felt equally cushy and wonderful on my feet as i rolled through footstrikes. I returned the Launch 2 and kept the Levitate 2 only because the color of the Launch was quite a bit darker and the blue sole, which i though i would like, was too stark a contrast with the rest of the shoe. So just a superficial color choice, having nothing to do with the comfort and quality of shoe.

I bought this shoe because of all the stellar reviews. I love the Brooks sneakers and have previously worn Ghost versions. I sized up a half size because apparently my feet keep growing! I switch out my sneakers every 6-9 months and my feet have been hurting so I bought Adrenalines and returned and I just returned this pair of Launch 6. They fit well, but they were glittery! That just isn't me. Maybe the word shark in the color description should've tipped me off but it sure didn't. So a great fitting and supportive shoe, just can't with the glitter.

I got these for my 14 year old daughter because her ankles have a pronouned roll inward and Brooks have been great for her in the past. She had these on for about 2 minutes and said they felt like they weren't doing anything to support her ankles, and you could see they weren't by looking at her in them. This is definitely a neutral shoe (seems like Zappos calls a lot of shoes neutral whether they are or not) We ended up choosing a different Brooks style after checking the Brooks website and filling out their shoe finder questionaire (for about 2x the price) and those work much better for her.

I love the look of the shoe. However, it Just does not work for me. I ordered my usual size 8 and it felt very wide and very loose in the toebox. I had a feeling they were going to slide right off my feet. This was right out of the box. I know they will loosen up a bit more once I run in them and I felt as though they would be unwearable at that point. I thought about ordering a half size down, however I’m not really sure there is enough arch support for me. I have high arches and I think I prefer the glove like fit of the Revel 3, so I’m going to order those instead.

This shoe is comfortable and light. Fits true to size. Works well for my intended purpose of low mileage, but I’d prefer something with a bit more cushioning when training with higher mileage.

My first pair of Brooks and you can tell they are high quality! Material is very solid, the sides have support which is great. Bought them for playing tennis and walking, so far loving them.

This shoe was gorgeous! I was so excited about running in these and taking them Dublin but they killed my feet. I love Brooks and run in them regularly but something about this shoe was just not right for me. I couldn’t even handle walking around in them without me feet aching. I sadly had to return them.

I so wanted to like these shoes. Ordered two pair - a 10 wide and a 10.5 regular width. Unfortunately, after wearing each pair around the house on separate days for an hour or so, my arthritic big toe flared up. The search continues...

I’m used to the cushion of the Revel, but needed something lighter weight and these are definitely less bulky. With that being said, you do lose some of the cushion and comfort when you make a shoe lighter, but they are less clunky. This shoe arrived with no tags, dirt on the bottom and obvious signs of outdoor wear. I was very disappointed in Zappos for sending me a very used pair. But if you are a runner you will appreciate the light, airy feel. Brooks are my favorite tennis shoe period.

Just on the smaller size. Not as roomy as a fit as I'm used to. They are comfortable, I loved the packaging and for someone like me with a March 17th birthday, they are perfect.

I normally wear an 8.5 but ordered a 9 and they fit perfectly. The rearfoot is neutral and the heel counter is rigid providing good stability. There is a rigid sole support in through the arch and while there is no internal arch support the rigidity of the outer sole supports an orthotic very well.

Love the shoes

If it came in an 8 wide it would have worked??. I usually wear an 8.5 in Brooks, but these were super long. I have wide feet and bunions and 8.5 usually works. I ordered the 8 but they were too narrow. Not sure if I will be able to wear either size, but I love the way they look. So disappointed ?

These are really cute shoes that I was hoping would work for my feet, but unfortunately they seemed to be a little bit shorter than I'm used to. I'm sad that I'm going to be sending them back. They do have great support! I'm going to be sticking to my good old Mazunio's for now!

Full to half size too small, very narrow even when I ordered the next size up

Only draw back to this cute sneaker that I was planning on using for HIIT classes is that there is ZERO ankle support.

I have been running in the Launch 5's the past year and they have been the greatest running shoe for me. I decided to upgrade to the 6's at the beginning of the month. I did a few runs in them and noticed that legs would be achy after I finished running. I chalked it u p as being sore from previous workouts. Yesterday I ran in them with fresh legs and they still made my shins and legs hurt. I also noticed they cause me to stomp when I land my foot. I did 2 miles in them and then switched to my launch 5's. Ran 3.5 miles in my Launch 5's and had no problems. They have changed the style some how and they no longer work for me.

My sneakers arrived today and they are wonderful looking and seem to be very well made. However, I wear a 11-W or 12-M. Never have had one of those sizes not fit. This is my first Brooks purchase and I ordered 12-M. They are too tight to wear and could be a little bit longer. Hoped I could exchange for 12-W or for the first time go with a 13 but neither of those sizes available. Oh, me and my big feet. Very disappointed they don't fit.
