The shoes definitely fit true to size but don't really offer a lot of arch support. If you need some stability I would look into the new Ravenna 10 by Brooks and possibly the bedlam by Brooks. The launch does offer a nice amount of cushioning without making it feel like you're sinking into the shoe. Overall a really great design but for me personally just needed something with a little bit more stability.

These shamrock shoes were very cute but they were not comfortable. No cushioning in the bottom and they felt oddly wide. Back they go.

I love Brooks, however I am not a fan of the Launch 6. These shoes are too small and I had to order a half size larger. They are not comfortable. Not sure how this is a popular shoe.

These shoes are stylish and look nice, and the toe box is a good size. But as far as I am concerned, there was NO arch support. I have a high arch and really need support underneath in order to be able to accomplish my morning walks. I'm really tired of having to buy inserts in order to get the arch support I need.

Trying to replace the Levitate because the Levitate 2 now fits differently. These lacked depth and hurt! :(

I have been wearing Brooks for over ten years and I think these are the worst pair yet. Although the style and color combo was somewhat cute, there was no substance to the shoe at all. The forefoot especially felt flimsy, almost no padding around the collar, and overall my foot just felt like it was sloshing around. I guess I will be using my old Ghost's until I can find another brand!

Launch 6 is my spirit shoe! Have 2 pairs and if I had known 6 months ago what I know now would've bought 2 or 3 more pairs. Hands down best running shoe ever. I also own the Ghost 12 (plus a few other brands) and these are so much better! Great on the treadmill, on the road and basically all around versatility. I excitedly purchased Launch 7's thinking they would be the same but they just aren't! Launch 6 is far superior to Launch 7 in every way.

I have been running in the launch series since they had the launch 3. I like the sleek style of the launch 6s and the color options. I tend to run about 20-25 miles a week and these shoes hold up well. My favorite part of the shoe is how bouncy they feel, especially in the beginning. Normally after 3-4 months of continual use, I notice that the bounce is less and my feet get a little tired on long runs. So, these shoes are durable and are at a good price. Have not been disappointed running in the launch series.

Great fit. Lightweight and breathable. True to size with the perfect amount of room in the toe box for an average to narrow width foot. Quick transitions.

I love these for everyday running, including longer runs. I've tried a lot of brands and styles of shoes, and I think I've finally found a shoe I like! I prefer minimal shoes with good feedback but enough cushion to not feel like I'm totally barefoot. The Launch has that perfect balance. It took a bit of time to get used to, so don't write it off right away if you are switching from a different type of shoe/brand. I do find them a bit stiff around the ankle, but again, I'm used to a super minimal shoe, so that could be just a difference in design. I chose the dark teal/grey/black pair. What you can't see from the picture is that they are a bit glittery/shiny. If that doesn't appeal to you, be sure to choose a different color. The fit in the toebox is pretty spot on. My foot is of average width, and I have plenty of room without having too much space. My feet don't slide around at all, despite the roominess. It is a heavier shoe than I'm used to, but I don't notice it much once I get going. Overall, a great choice for the price!

I love these shoes so much! The fit is spot on! I am a neutral plant which is exactly the support I get from this design. Great support, too, for my very high arches!

Brooks sent these to me FREE for being a Covid-19 frontliner. I usually buy the Revels but this shoe is also fantastic. It has great arch support and I like how light weight it is.

I've never been a runner so I've never felt the need to have a pair of running shoes. But since outside cardio is now one of the few things I can do, I figured it was time to alleviate the pain my shins and calfs were feeling. From the very first use these shoes have been nothing but AMAZING! My pain went away instantly and I not only can run in them around the neighborhood and on a treadmill, but I can do sprints in them up a hill as well! I would definitely recommend this shoe to anyone and everyone!

I used to wear Adrenalines all the time. Then, maybe five years ago, something changed and it actually hurt to run in those shoes I'd been wearing for over a decade. After some searching and a few failed shoes, I landed on the Launch 4. I'm not sure how many miles those have, but I finally purchased a pair of the Launch 6 and I still love them! I ran 4 miles with them straight out of the box and they have been my primary shoe for about a month now. They are relatively light but I still feel supported by them and like I can go anywhere from 3 miles to 26.2. In terms of "feel," I don't think much changed from the Launch 4, which is definitely fine by me! I'm thinking I might need another pair before they disappear or change too much.

My boyfriend bought me these shoes last week because I told him I wanted some for walking and I want to train myself to run again. He is a loyal customer and he has about 20 pairs of Brooks shoes because he runs daily. I will definitely be getting another pair. These shoes are great!

Wow, these are so supportive. They feel like "real" shoes, not just shoes that look like athletic shoes. The ball of my foot has been bothering me and actually feels better after wearing these! Thank you Brooks for not skimping on comfort.

Over several years I have purchased many pairs of Brooks. However, this is my first pair of the Launch series. They fit amazing and are very light. I went on a four-mile road run after taking them out of the box with no issues. I ordered a second pair given the price and quality.

Great shoes. As with all the Launches that came before, it is comfortable, springy and darling. The laces stay tied, the heel cup holds my foot in, there is room for all my toes and the laces keep the shoe snug. My only information of note is that they were surprisingly roomy, so I had to order a half-size down from my previous Launches.

These shoes are amazing! So comfortable and my feet are happy I work 10 hour days on my feet ranging from 6 to 11 miles a day. Super supportive I have high arches and they are perfect for me.

I love my Launch 6's. Every new generation they make continues to improve the fit and feel of the shoe. I'll continue to wear my older generations for 1-2 years after I retire them from running. I won't run without them!

I have been running in Launch for years. They fit perfectly, are comfortable, durable, and light weight. Great support for a great, fast run. Wish a trail shoe had the feel of a Launch but with more support and cushion. I end up wearing my Launch on the trail. Works fine but breaks down too fast.
