Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 7

Great shoes- super light and comfortable but didn't get enough back heel support for long runs. My Achilles heel got scraped and ended up bleeding in the middle of my run and running the crisp look of the shoe. I got more of this identical design for my family but they use it as a leisure sure for nothing more strenuous than walking. It sucks because I love the look and feel of this shoe!

I initially liked the feel of these shoes, but they give me a blister on my heal.

The back heel of the shoe is much harder than the 6's, it has caused blisters on my heels and pain on one of my heel bones.

I have been buying Brooks Launch for years and they are my favorite running shoes. However, I started getting heel blisters with the 7's and despite taking the time to wear them in, the heel blisters continue and I have had to switch back to my worn in Launch 6's for running for the time being. A bit disappointed.

I really wanted this shoe to work for me. I enjoyed its weight and springiness. I felt faster in the Launch than the Ghost. My plan was to keep both styles and alternate shoes depending on my run, but sadly the Launch went back. This shoe is much to wide for my foot. Tightening the laces is a pain; can never get it just right. Lack of support lend to foot pain. It's a nice shoe, and if your feet are not narrow, you'll probably like it.

I loved the look of these shoes so I was bummed that they didn't work for me. They were a little too firm and when I tested them out I started to get shin splints almost immediately. I need a little more cushion so I will stick with the Ghost model.

These would be fine for a short run (4 miles or less) but anything longer makes my feet hurt, particularly on the arches, and I don't usually have this problem. They feel fairly thin without much support for a Brooks shoe.

Launch 5 wears and looks better but overall a comfortable and functional shoe. I don't love the way the color is printed the launch 5 look way cooler

Not very comfortable. I always buy the glycerin which are super comfy. I bought these because they are cool. I will only buy glycerin from now on.

Didn't fit as well as my other brooks. A little disappointed

They are not as comfortable as my ghosts or revel models. They run about a half size small.

I have worn Launches for the past 5 years and have absolutely loved them! I was excited to purchase the 7 and the awesome tie-dye color. I have run in them several times since I got them a few weeks ago and am not as thrilled. I am not sure if the design was changed some but I am experiencing foot/knee pain which I stopped experiencing when i had switched to Launch in the first place. I am going to give them a few more outings before I decide whether to return them.

Very cute but was hoping for more heel cushion support. My heels hurt after I wear these shoes.

I wish Brooks would launch wide width varieties of its special edition shoes. I would love these shoes but, unfortunately, they don't fit because my foot is too wide. Please consider this for upcoming launches!

The Launch 7 is not as comfortable in the toebox as I would like. I got my usual size, but the end of the toebox is hard, and sometimes my toe runs into it. I wish the material would be a softer knit. The shoe fits fine in the instep and heel. Since my toes are sensitive, I am avoiding wearing them for a long time, so I don't know that these shoes are right for me. I liked the material in the toebox that was used for the Launch 3 much better. Please give us that option again. The shoe is light, which some runners will like

Arch support pretty minimal in these shoes - not the best for me. Feet ached during my run due to lack of support.
