Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 7

Great shoes! Walked 4 miles the first day I got the shoes.

I have weak ankles and narrow feet and absolutely love these shoes. They are very lightweight & supportive for daily tasks, and working out in. I bought the Eden/Gold pair and am obsessed with the color combination. The bolder the pattern/color the better.

Provides good support for walking.

great comfortable show - light weight - I use this shoe for running outdoors as well as the elipitcal in my home and when the COVID crisis ends I will use these shoes in my Orange Theory classes which involve running/floor exercises - with and without weights and rowing. I recommend this shoe lots of room for toes in front of shoe - runs true to size as well!

I usually don't have good luck with any closed shoes but these were comfortable right out of the box! Brooks shoes were recommended by my Chiropractor and she was spot on.

I love my shoes!!!!!!!

I love Brooks athletic shoes, and order an entire size larger than my regular shoes. I wore these twice walking and both times my next-to-big toe cramped. I returned them and ordered Ghost.

I have worn many pairs of brooks. Love the look, but these run large. I would have returned for smaller size except I threw out the box in error. I am hoping I can shrink in the wash. Typically I order 1/2 size up in Brooks.

shoe was not adequately padded. Not comfortable for walking

I bought a half size bigger based on the recommendations of your reviewers. What a mistake! They are too big. The heel is high and I seem to be getting more blisters than normal. They are comfortable when I walk and afterward I don’t have as much foot pain

no arch support... going back

I bought these shoes because I have had a good experience with Brooks and like the color and simplicity of the design. The site advised buying a size up, and I believe that is accurate, but the fitting still feels off. I also don't like how narrow the tongue is.

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 might peel off and the shoelaces are cracked on the ends already. I hope they last

I bought these to replace a pair of Launch 6... They’re just not the same. Out of the box they didn’t fit quite as well, particularly the back heel part felt really narrow and stiff. I figured they might just need some breaking in (which I don’t remember needing to do with the Launch 6). By now I’ve put 40 miles on them and they’re still bothering me. I’m going to relegate them to more casual wear and try to find a different pair for running.

I have worn the Launch 6 and it was time to replace them so I naturally opted for the Launch 7. Ick. First of all the toe box was very "formed" as in a rigid framework. This was odd to me, but not a deal breaker. The shoe was boxier in the toe box than the Launch 6 as well - again, not a deal breaker. However, they were so uncomfortable because on the inside of the shoe you have the raised arch support, and there was a raised edge along the outside (of the inside of the shoe) from about mid-foot through the heel. It pressed against my foot like I had never experienced before and was quite painful within a very short time. I thought maybe it was because they were new. Took them off and tried again the next morning - and I swear they were worse. The raised edge was even more noticeable and uncomfortable. So back they go and now I'm searching for something else to try.

This shoe was very cheaply made. The shoe lace eyelets were plastic, not even a reinforcement like you get on tennis shoes,

Very wide toe box. Cheaply made compared to previous models of Launch.

I used to love the Brooks Launch -- it provided perfect support for my foot. However, this version feels too wide: the area of the toe box where the laces start actually puckers up because I have to try to lace them tighter than the natural shoe width. Also, perhaps because the fabric of the shoe is so stretchy, my foot moves around in the shoe more than it did in the old version, causing discomfort. I'm saddened that the Launch is no longer my perfect running shoe!
