I love Brooks! Primary thing that is odd here is that the 2 pairs of Launch that I bought, which is my go-to running shoe that I buy multiple pairs of per year, is definitely at least. .5 size too big where it used to be true to size. I'm not sure what changed, but a surprising and unwelcome change. Still recommend the shoe, but buy smaller than usual.

I love the sneaker ,Only thing is they run a little bit big so I just wash them in the washer and dry them and now they fit perfect. I've washed them a few times and amazingly they come very clean and have not fallen apart at all

I ordered wides but they feel a little more narrow than I think they should be. I’m hoping they stretch a little as I’ve worn them so I will keep them. I also have a blister on my heal. I’ve not had that happen before with Brooks.

Comfortable, lightweight, makes my feet look skinny. Yes I have flat fat feet. Love these shoes!!! Need more patterns to get all 5 stars.

I like this show! Will take some breaking in but I think it will work out. It seems thinner than previous versions.

I really like the Launch. This is my second pair. The grip was better on the 6 though. I noticed with the 7, I slip/slide on asphalt if there is any type of slick surface, i.e., oil from a car mixed with water.
I'd also recommend:

I received my shoes and could not wait to wear them. The colors are brighter than the last version and the shore is all around softer and more comfortable than the last version. I use them for boot camp workouts and running. Can wait for the St. Paddy's Day Version

MY opinion of the Launch 7 is that I love the colors!! So bright and pretty.. I'm so glad you made a female version of the rainbow print! Personally, I don't like the 7 to run in, I absolutely love the Ghost style for my running because they give me incredible arch support! I do like the Launch as an everyday shoe!

I love the more narrow Launch.. Most shoes are too wide for my narrow foot. A good go to shoe with good color combinations. Great for travel and moderate walking. Only complaint is the fabric outer makes for cold shoes in winter walking so I switch to your leather walker. Great for gym wear.

Comfortable shoe and better color options than the last Launch. It feels a little more narrow and I wish the shoelaces were made of a different material as it's not very sturdy. Overall nice though!

Seemed to fit well and true to size, just not comfortable for runs over 6 miles. I love the design.

The shoe itself is great. I've gotten launch's the past 4 or so years. They're lightweight and very comfortable to run in. I am a year round runner with cross country, and indoor/outdoor track so i'm always on the go. My only concern with it was that i have more narrow feet than most people, and my heel felt like it was moving around more than usual when I was running with this pair compared to previous pairs, even though i've gotten the same size that I have been. When you loop in the laces in the extra hole it does help though. They're a great shoe but just look out if you have narrower feet. I still recommend.

Have worn through 2 pairs of the Launch 7s very quickly. I walk about 3 miles daily, they are great for a month or so but wear down easily. Both pairs started to give me blisters at the back of my feet within 3 months, and tore a hole in the lining in the back of the shoe. For $100, I would hope they would last longer than 3-4 months.

I was looking for shoe with a sturdy, inflexible sole at the forefront due to a previous foot injury. These were too flexible at the ball of my foot for my needs. They also looked so old style-wise--the grey and purple had a real geriatric feel. These are going back.

These are really cute and I love the colors and they are very light, but there is absolutely no arch support. Very disappointing for a Brooks shoe. I’ll be returning.

This was my worst Brooks experience yet. I’ve had them several months and I walk/jog as well as do HIIT exercises in my shoes. These rub blisters on the back of my heals if I wear them longer than 20 minutes. I have put bandages on the back for cushion and after it heals, more blisters after wearing these shoes.

Just like Launch 6, the Launch 7 makes my right foot go numb after the third mile of my runs, especially if I wear thicker socks. This concerns me when the weather gets colder because I need to wear those thicker socks. I never had any issues with numbness when wearing Launch 4 or 5.

Nice blue color option. Fairly supportive, springy shoe. I returned because I just like the fit and feel of the Ghosts much more.

These shoes feel good so far. They are cheaper quality compared to my previous pairs of Brooks. The logo on the side looks like it could peel off and the shoelaces are cracked on the ends already. I hope they last

This is my first time wearing the Launch 7, I usually wear the Brooks Dyad so these seemed to run a little wider than the Dyad version. I was disappointed with in insole that came in these again compared to the Dyad. Once I replaced the insole the fit seemed to be much better. I did not try these on in a store prior to ordering online. So my ratings are on the original out of the box fit.
