Just from switching to the Launch from the Glycerin my time per mile sped up by 30 seconds. Great shoe! I'm very pleased with them. My glycerin were too cushioned and I felt like I was running in sand with them. I did put 350 miles on them and I'm a heavy runner. Hope to do the same with the Launch.

These shoes are lightweight and comfortable. Hardly any break-in needed for me before I was confident doing longer runs in them.
The only downside I've seen so far is if you strap your feet in on the pedals for stationary bikes, they don't put much between your foot and the strap. Obviously not a problem while running though.

Amazing Shoe! I think I'm running faster! I was in a shoe that was not designed for running yet advertised as a "running shoe". I moved over to Brooks because I heard of the awesomeness. Thank you Brooks for the online support to find the right shoe for me. Always going Brooks from now on!

Great mid-weight trainer that feels springy and light despite having more cushion than I usually have on a shoe. I am on my second pair now and they have felt great on my knees and ankles too.

I wasn't an avid runner before the lockdown and the only athletic shoes I owned were the very basic cross trainers types that every kid gets for PE class.
I ordered these shoes when my knees started hurting while out on a jog. They changed everything.
These shoes changed my running form from the way my feet hit the ground clear up to my posture in my lower back. It made the first few runs with them a little frustrating, but they've completely elimated my knee pain.
I'm very happy with the Launch 7. Even more so with the star-spangled red, white, and blue.

Husband said these are the best running shoes he has tried. Super comfy even miles into a run.
True to size and so far have held up great to running.

A fan of these shoes. My last pair had over 350 miles on them and could of kept going strong but I like to buy the seasonal shoes and replace my shoes using that as a guide.

The green and gold was a little bright for me, so I returned it and got Launch 7 in another color. The shoe is all it is supposed to be! I have had 2 other previous Launch models. While I am a size 11 in most Brooks, I am an 11 1/2 in a Launch. Sa as many others have said, size up a 1/2 for this shoe.

I love Brooks. I discovered them about 5 years ago and will now only buy Brooks. Every pair I've ever gotten feels like the shoes were designed specifically for my feet. They feel great and are accurate as described. I feel like they help propel me when running.

This shoe is just what I wanted. Bought online by reading the description and reviews. Lightweight, fits well, good energy return without being harsh. Only issue for me was that although I normally wear size 9.5 for other Brooks shoes, the 9 fit me much better for the Launch 7. It was close either way, but after trying them both, the 9 was the better choice.

These shoes are not only ultra comfortable but very stylish with their distinctive shamrock green and gold design. Great fitting shoe with lots of cushy support.

The Launch is a fantastic running shoe. Over the years while running in it, I've grown to appreciate how it's the near perfect blend of cushion and lightweight speed. It's surprisingly difficult to find a solid neutral shoe that comes in at a sub 10oz weight while offering enough plush and cushion to power through most any type of run be it speed work, a long outing or just an easy, around the block trot. It's also decently durable and can hold up for many miles, races and years. Cheers to the Launch!

Brooks really helped me out with uncovering which shoe would best fit my running style and preferences. The questionnaire they offer to determine which of their shoes would work best is very detailed and informative. My previous Brooks pair was the PureFlow but I wanted something more fitting with my change in style. The Launch 7 was recommended and I immediately felt why. Its a very light shoe and after I got into my groove, the shoes almost felt weightless. The shoe absorbs a lot of impact while still maintaining cushion and comfort, which goes well for my knees and back. I run about 4 miles every other day and 5-7 miles on the weekends. I am proud to own a pair of Brooks Launch 7!

These are my go to faster shoes. They don't feel as cushioned as Ghosts or Glycerins, which I think is the point. They feel lighter and I feel like I run faster in them, but I avoid them for runs longer than 5 miles because I have various foot issues that I am afraid of. But I love the way these fit and feel for shorter runs.

I have loved these shoes as an upgrade from my old Nike Winflows which I found too cushy. These are just right for my weight (190lbs) and neutral stride.

They're pretty good. The one day I got done running in the park and I starting speaking in brogue; real Irish flair.
