Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 9

Can't beat the Launch Model of Shoes for running. Have been buying them for years and am very pleased with them. Where them to run and at work. They are very comfortable and provide great support.

Great light shoe. Colors lacked imagination until the orange shoe arrived. Love this shoe for speed and track. Part of my rotation of shoes. Hard to beat in its category.

Great shoe, ordered a half size down since they run large. Ordered the extra wide as these seem to run narrow. Feel relatively responsive.

I really like this shoe - it's a nice improvement over the Launch 8, especially in the forefoot. Nice heel strike/cushion + stable cushioned support through the stride that I was looking for while still being a fairly light and minimalist design. I have been running on the Launch (5, 6, 7, 8) for years and this is the best improvement to the lineup I've seen. Nice job, Brooks!

Comfortable on long runs while still feeling quick during tempo. Tried these after 15 years in Nike Pegs. This is now my third pair of Launch 9s. They are a slight improvement but I feel like they could feel better. Tongue doesn't always lay flat during quick transitions (triathlete).

I am used to the Ghost 14 and the Glycerin models so took some getting used to. Toe compartment a bit smaller but after I loosened the shoetrings, and after a short breaking-in period, I like them. Probably would stick with Glycerin though.

I normally have bought the GTS. Waiting to see how I hold up with these.

Love the launch line of shoes but the back on this model seems a bit high and tends to pull my socks down. Still sticking with this model so it's not bad enough to change my opinion on them

The backs of the 9 changed a bit, it's very comfortable and VERY lightweight. I did notice heavy creasing in the rear of the bottom sides after the first run but it was a good comfortable run. Seems more sleek that the previous models. I would purchase again.

Good sneaker for running on different trail and hard court.

A good shoe but i dislike the laces. i am used to better laces than a regular flat shoe lace.

Got the Launch 9 for everyday use. Very roomy without feeling unconfortable. I am size 11, got it 11.5 wide. The only complaint I have with the Launch 9 is the shoelace. It could have been longer. I will need to add shoelaces to my shopping list now.

Love the shoes. The ride is very springy as advertised. My feet are pretty thin so I have to lace them tight. The sole is really cushioned. I feel that this model runs a bit larger than the ghost 14 though.

It's a good fit shoe. Simple, easy ride. Gave it a 4 because the upper would be nice if a little softer.

I get the Boston Edition every year. Love the tradition and unique design. Overall shoe fits well and provides good support

Overall, I enjoy most things about Brooks' latest designs: it's sleek, colorful, and the foam provides the right amount of support. The only issue is the upper mesh seems to break down before the rest of the shoe, particularly where the mesh meets the foam. I should easily get another 100-200 miles out of these shoes and would like to see better durability in the upper mesh.

good value but for me the 12 feels longer than the 12 in the Hyperion Tempo. Happy to have tried it though.
