Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 9

I have worn Ghosts for years and usually get size 8. I decided to try the Launch 9 as I liked the way they looked and wanted to try the different heal style. They were ok but they were a little bit longer and narrower, so I am going back to the Ghosts.

Ordered a size 6 Brooks running shoes. Received a size 8, but box is showing size 6.

I took a shot and ordered a medium. Mistake. WAY to wide, especially in the toe. I should have known better.

Love the look and feel of these shoes....but be prepared to purchase laces. The GREAT laces that Brooks used to use are gone. The laces that came with these shoes are horrible. They are WAY too short (can't possible double tie) and very unsubstantial. Disappointing because the old Brooks laces were a reason for buying

Based on reviews, I went up a half size. I am glad I did. They have a little space in front by the toe, which I prefer with all of my athletic shoes. I purchased the neon yellow/pink/black and I love the vibrant colors. For reference I wear a size 8 but in most athletic shoes I wear an 8.5 which I purchased for this show. My levitate 4 shoes are a true size 8.

I have fussy feet so a good fit is really important to me. I have been wearing them inside for a few days and so far so good. I hope they hold up as proper arch support is a must for me.

Very comfortable but not sufficient support for me. Launch has both neutral and support versions and this shoe is the neutral

This is a first time that I have tried the Brooks brand! Very comfortable. I ordered a size 11.5 even though I generally wear a size 11 in most brands. The 11.5 fit perfectly.

I needed something to workout in that was different from the Ghosts I usually get, just to be able to rotate the pairs. Launch didn’t work for me, but Glycerin did.

I am between 9.5 and 10. So I chose a 10. Had to reorder a 10.5 which was OK but not much extra room. I like the looks, fabric, and comfort of the shoe. Im always looking for the perfect sock. In this case , one that doesn't take too much room but has the needed support. Hate sox that have a restrictive band at the top.

I normally wear Ghosts, but thought I'd give the Launch 9 a try because they're a little less expensive and the design with the multicolor graphics is so fun and cute. These don't fit quite as snugly in the heel or offer quite the same level of cushy comfort, but I kept them anyway because they're so darn cute. They are very lightweight, which is nice. I was surprised at how thin the material in the tongue is, and was concerned that it might not be comfortable, but I don't notice it at all when I'm wearing them.

Maybe it is just me, but Brooks is starting to make their running shoes flimsier. I noticed that the tongue of the shoe is very thin and the shoe laces aren't very sturdy. I guess it is the sign of the times...

Love the color and the comfort. The flat laces are awful and round ones will not fit in the slots for the laces. Bring back the round laces. They stay tied much better.

It was a gift for someone, but she said it was very nice.

If I were to order again I would size up 1/2 size. The fit is a little tight, but they are loosening up as I wear them. They look great, love the lilac accents.
