I love the color of these! They DO NOT fit like the Launch 8. In the 8s, a 10 was perfect. In the new Launch 9, 10 was too small and 10.5 is a bit too big. I love the color enough to keep them even if they are a hair too big!

First time wearing these Launch 9s, it felt like they were custom made for my feet. Incredibly comfortable! I wear a size 9.5 and have to go up half a size to size 10 in Brooks. Love the contrasting purple and black.

Excellent fit and support as expected from Brooks. I own several pairs of Brooks and quality has never failed. Great shoes!

Love the new Launch! Super lightweight! I bought my first pair of Brooks and in the Launch style about four years ago when I suffered from plantar fasciitis. What a game changer they were. It was the start of being serious about the type of shoe I wore for not just running but for daily wear. These are perfect for both!

Haven't wore them yet, but tried them on and they feel good. Need to walk in them to really see how they feel. Will write on that later.

LOVE these sneakers! From the moment I slipped them on, I knew they were the ones! An irresistible hot pink/fuchsia color that were super comfortable to take a long, long walk in on cement sidewalks. Haven't run in them yet, but I look forward to it. As for the arch support, I don't know whether it's moderate or excellent, but I have no complaints whatsoever and they feel great, so I chose 'excellent'. All that to say, they are an excellent price, so why not give them a whirl and see for yourself? Five *****!

I got these for my interval workouts. They feel great. I didn't think I was going to like them because they were not the cushiony ones I normally run in. I celebrated my 60th birthday last year and I've been in Brooks ever since! My daughter is a Brooks" Ambassador and she got me back on the road again! Thanks babe!!!!

They are super narrow and people have told me brooks are supposed to be a good width. They arent ‘amazingly’ comfortable like people have said before, I feel like brooks has more of a cult following rather than a deserved one. Meh shoes.

This shoe is quite comfortable and lightweight. The quality and stability just doesn't seem as good as the glycerin. I would not purchase the launch 9 again.

Great road feel and weight. Very responsive. Slightly tight in the toe box for me.

I was super happy with the first pair so i purchased another for brisk walking, Light and really comfortable on the sole of my feet. I am sadly disappointed, the thin material the front is made of stared to crack forming a hole before a month of use. I did not return any of the two.

I owned a pair of Launches nearly ten years ago and hated them. I purchased these a few weeks ago because I needed a cheaper pair of reliable shoes to do miles of walking this weekend. These shoes were GREAT for easy walking. However, I can tell they would not be great runnersthe heal slips even when laced to add extra tension and the cushioning feels cheap. I would definitely stick with my Ghosts or Glycerins for running, but for walking, these are great!

I love the Launch style, however, the tongue in the 9 is very thin and stiff, it tends to rub into the top of my foot making it uncomfortable during longer runs

As my other Brooks, they are fairly comfortable, and fit well. The only "but" is, the red colour on the website is quite different from the reality. In fact, very different. Which is important, but still not worth the hustle of returning the pair.
Happy with the the speed the order was delivered.
