I love this line of running shoes! I've purchased my 2nd pair after retiring the first at 232 miles. I tried on several models before this one and I found that the neutral sole was best suited for my step. Highly recommended. These are very breathable & durable! I mostly run on asphalt (95% of the time) and the rubber held up superb.

I like these shoes and rotate them with Ghosts. Light and responsive. Some cushion but not to the extent of Ghost. Like the different widths available. I would like to see a broader selection of 2E style but this is a "minor" issue. Price point is very reasonable for what you get.

My 12 yo son has very large feet (size 15!) and he tends to supinate when he walks (his weight is on the outside of his feet). These shoes have been really helpful in straightening out his gait. He likes really colorful things, so the style of these shoes was a hit!

The first shoe my teen has been comfortable in with Brooks's slightly wider toe box and good arch support. We got a half size up because they didn't have a wide size available, and it worked out perfectly fine. He will also be able to wear them longer now. He wears them almost every day.

Great shoe. I am on my second pair and am really enjoying them. Nice spring, light and flexible, and perfect fit for me. Make great lawnmowers shoes after they are worn out for running too!

Toe box seems a little larger than Launch 8, which for me is an improvement. Love the color of these limited edition shoes, they felt great right out of the box. These have a little harder sole than the Revel 5s that I also wear, but for concrete these are more comfortable on longer wear days.

This is my second pair. These are far superior in the fit (like a comfortable glove), right amount of cushion and a feel that I'm in a pair of running shoes and not snow shoes (as I felt with the first pair of Launch). Thank you.

I LOVE the Launch 9 like I've loved the previous versions. It is a pretty light shoe and is comfortable. I bought the black with white stripe which look pretty cool with anything.

Thrilled with these. Provide my feet with just the right amount of support while also being amazingly light. Favorite pair of running shoes I've ever owned.

Fit and feel are great. The slight changes between the Launch 8 to the Launch 9 make the difference for me. So good, running happy!!

The fit is good but the shoe itself is narrow so it makes it feel a little unstable with a high sole and narrow shoe. Works just fine for road running though.

First bought the Revel, but they were so squishy that as they broke in weirdly and I needed to change to a different shoe. Supper happy with the change. Got in a size 13 and they fit great. More firm footing than the Revel and are breaking in better. Also feel less narrow, even though they are both the same medium width. Might buy a second for when these wear out because they change them so often. Also got compliments on the style for the turquoise ones, which I feel like never happens. Note - I bought these for doing long walks and feel they would be good for running too.

Excellent shoe! Used them to walk 40 miles at Disney world. Brooks is the only brand I recommend.

It's a very comfortable running shoe. I walk two miles a day and switch off my different pairs of brooks running shoes every day so not to wear out the shoes so quickly.

Awesome shoes! I can run amazing with them. They also let me do things like playing football, soccer, and are amazing for anything that requires me to be outside. I love to run with them, and this week I finished running 40 miles in a week for the first time in a few months!

I've been running in Brooks exclusively for about 11 years. The Launch 9 is the best shoe I've been in to date. The perfect balance of comfort, support and performance. Great job!

I’ve have the Launch before and they fit right. I’m sending back to get the smaller size. No worries!

I bought these for my 13 year old son who has flat feet. He's a sneaker head who loves the cool shoes, but they always hurt his feet. He decided to go for comfort over flashy. He said they are the most comfortable shoes he's ever had.
