Bot only are these shoes dope looking, they fit better than any running shoe I’ve owned. I usually buy shoes a half size larger because I have sloghtly wider than average feet. Having a wide size available changed my shoe world. I will DEFINITELY buy Brooks again.
I'd also recommend:
Adidas, Reebok

I usually have to go up to 12 as my feet are slightly diff sizes. These fit great. They're light and comfortable. Brooks is great for me as I pronate and have a bunch of ankle/tendon issues and the stabilizers are great. I recommend.

This is my 5th pair of the Launch series, and this is, by far, my favorite yet. I was quite disappointed in the 7’s, which were my least favorite, but the 8’s make up for it. The 7’s tore up my heel every run, but the 8 has a flared heel which is much better. the fit is perfect, maybe slightly long, but not too much. The comfort and support make it hard for me to want to take this shoe off. highly recommend. The laces seem a little weak, but I haven’t had an issue yet, after 3 weeks.

Much lighter than the "Ghost" Brooks shoes, very comfortable. I wear between 10.5 and 11, ordered the 11 and they fit well.

Great fit, great design. I love the elf ear heel. Transition from heel through toe off is smooth. 260 road miles on them and they are still springy, responsive, and plenty of tread left.

Fast transitions, excellent fit, comfortable. Not expecting to get as many miles out of these as ghost, I'm 6'3 220, but they feel great and padding is good.

These are very comfortable and fit perfect. I’ve always worn a size 10.5 running shoe and that’s what I ordered! Perfect fit.

Brought these for my son. He said they were a nice shoe just not youthful enough. His comment, “ Thanks mom maybe in 10 years!”

i love the color however for the price i feel like the shoelace eyelets should be a little stronger. feels like after tying these a few times you would tear right through the material and have a bad shoe. after seeing this I didn’t even try the shoe on because i knew it wouldn’t last me a month.

Light weight racer/trainer. Snug fit thru mid foot. Fits a little longer but allows fore foot to spread on foot plant and toe off. I find the extended heal cup a real plus. Good flexibility and traction. Alternating training with Ghost 13.

These are the coolest shoes I own. The red, white, and blue, with stars is a great eye opener. There has not been a day go by that people don't comment how great they look. With the 4th of July and the olympics upon us how can a person go wrong with these shoes. Heck, how can you go wrong with these shoes period! They fit great, look great, and they are Brooks shoes.

I uses to be a New Balance guy until I found Brooks.
