Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 7

I love these shoes except for the back piece. It comes up too high and is too hard. It trashed the back of my ankles after just a three-mile walk :( I had to return them.

This is the first pair of Brooks I?ve owned that gave my feet blisters. They don?t feel like they have as much cushion. They are much more stiff. All my previous Brooks I can put on and go as soon as they arrive. These ones have been giving me blisters and hurting my feet. They don?t feel like the same quality that I?ve grown accustomed to. Was disappointed for the first time.

Unfortunately, the first time I wore them for a run, they gave me awful blisters on my heels. The cushioning isn't quite as robust as I was expecting, and the tendons in my big toe were quite uncomfortable later in the day after my run. If it weren't such a pain for me to return them (I am not in the US right now), I would. They look good though so I'll switch to wearing them as walking shoes once my blisters are better. Perhaps thats will help break them in so I can try running in them again.

Love the appearance of the shoes. The shoe was comfortable. Unfortunately, it rubbed the back of my ankle raw. I thought it needed to broken in but it never got any better. So I had to send the shoes back.

I really want to love these. The color is great and they're adorable. But those are the only positives I have for this version. I've been wearing the Launch for years. 5 was amazing, 6 was close to amazing. These are awful. I'm with the others. There's something off about them. My feet slide around. I'm trying a third tying variation on my run today and if I don't notice a difference, they're going back. My heel slides a ton and my entire foot slides forward. I've never had this happen with the Launch before. The toebox does indeed feel narrower and the heel wider; I have a wider toe box and narrow heel. Please go back to the 5s or at least the 6s.

Please don't stop making the 6 or continue making the 5. These are so loose feeling, I tried going down a half size and then a whole size, different lacing etc and nothing was right. These are not the same shoe.

Please go back to the old Launch design. I can't imagine Launch wearers think the 6 or 7 are an improvement. These are so stiff, arch feels weird, gave me a blister on one heel and mess up my gait. They are light but that's the only redeeming quality I feel. Even the material feels terrible.

I purchased 4 pair of the Launch 6 series. I love them!! Perfect fit and perfect colors. The launch 7, well, I returned them! The fit was flimsy, too wide and the colors were just "ok". I even went to Brooks facebook page to see what others thought...same sentiment...please bring the Launch 6 series back!! I would buy 10 pair to always have my favorite shoe!!! Brooks please listen, I'm not the only one screaming for them, bring them back, these new ones don't compare and I'm sure the returns speak for themselves! I want to love my shoes again!!

The updates just continue to get worse. This edition feels worse then the last. The fit is loose and hollow feeling...my foot slipped all around the shoe regardless of how tight I tied them. They are lightweight but offer nothing else. Older versions were much more supportive, responsive and fit well.

I wear the Launch 7 to workout in. I love how lightweight they are and how well they fit. Nothing I don't like about the shoe.

Love them!! I feel like they improve my running form. They're light yet sturdy and supportive enough for road running.

They are very comfortable and durable. When I run on hard surfaces, I don't feel the impact and my legs don't hurt like they use to.

I love these shoes! I bought them to get some miles in at Warner Parks near my neck of the woods. They fit perfectly and the eyelets are reinforced so no worries of ever breaking those shoe laces!

My husband purchased a pair of Brooks shoes prior to a Disney World trip and had no sore feet after averaging 10 miles per day. So naturally I had to invest in pair for myself. After averaging 11 miles a day on our most recent trip, I found that Although my feet are sore and tired at the end of the day, they do not hurt in the morning nor do they hurt when I put my Launch 7's on for another day of walking.

Just starting running again after 20 years. I still love Brooks!

Love all the Brooks shoes that I have bought but i tend to go to the Launch style. Very comfortable!!!

Comfortable, lightweight, and supportive running shoe.. I usually get the brooks ghost series but decided to try the Lauch because of price and im glad I did. Its just as Comfortable as the ghost but lighter in weight!

Wonderful shoe, my feet seem like they never get tired.
