Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 9

Overall the shoe looks and feels good except I ordered a Wide width and unfortunately, it isn't wide enough to be comfortable enough to wear all day.

Not enough cushioning under the toes...arch and heel good, but not for the toes. I wouldn't buy this again. Sorry.

Really sad on this one. I got a pair locally in November and LOVED them. They were perfect fit, everything seemed to line up. So when they got flat I ordered another pair. Same style, same size, same color scheme even. And the toe is both narrower and shorter. So I don't know if I should try to swap these out for another pair, see if they'll stretch, or just give it up as a lost cause.

I wanted to love these but ended up having to return them. I was originally fit at a running store for the Launch 8's a few years ago and I absolutely loved them. Super comfortable, for fit like a glove. So when I needed to replace my shoes I bought the 9's in the same size as the 8's. These were SO tight and constricting no matter what I did and they felt a lot stiffer. I ended up returning them since they weren't right for me, but I loved the color.

The orange and purple colors are not my favorite, also the Launch 8 we're roomier inside, I purchased a half size larger yet my toes feel smooshed, I never experienced that with my Launch 8.

I had to send them Back. Not enough volume for my higher instep in the left foot.

They are very narrow. I have to send them back. Previous Launches haven't been that narrow.

These shoes run long and narrow. I am always a 7.5 in Ghost and Revel and 8 in Adrenaline, but I had to size down to a 7 for length in these. They were then too tight on the top. The cushioning felt amazing and they have such fun colors. Sadly, I returned.

This was my first pair of Brooks... when I first put them on they were very comfortable. I was so excited to have a comfy pair of shoes! However, as I started walking in them my feet began to hurt very badly in the heel through the arch and up to the base of my toes. I have never had such foot pain in my life! I thought maybe I just need to get used to having a properly fitting shoe?? After two weeks of working 50 hours a week in them, the pain didn't seem to worsen and maybe let up a little, though I still have foot pain even when I am not wearing these shoes . They are super cute and fit true to size, just wish I had a better experience with them.

They run large and are not as comfortable as my others. Would not repurchase this style.

The tongue pf the left shoe cuts into my bunion which is on my BIG toes knuckle on my left foot. I have NEVER had a shoe do this before. There is no padding or protection from the jagged edge of the tongue on this shoe. , I wore them around the hoe for a few hours but then it started to rub and it was agony. Usually i do noy have any issue with a soft upper, but this one is a problem.

I noticed my shoes have holes on the inside and the sole is starting to crack. I just looked up my previous purchase to see how long they lasted. 3 months. I run or walk max 20 miles a week. Don't wear them as street shoes. I've been wearing this shoe since it started but I can't buy a shoe that won't last longer than 3 months.
