Customer Reviews Brooks Launch GTS 9

One hour since i wear this pair of shoes and i can see the stiches in the back of the pair. And glue is prominent on the edges.

Ordered a 10 1/2 as the website said it compared to the show I was currently using. It doesn't and I feel the shoe runs a half size large.

Far too soft for what should be a responsive lightweight sportster. (I'll be returning it soon.) Ill leave it at that for my free feedback :-)

Narrower than previous versions in the forefoot. I've worn all previous versions of the Launch GTS and Ravennas before that with never a hint of a blister. With these I got blisters on only my second run. I still love the guiderail design and it's a light weight shoe compared to any other stability design. I like the new tongue and lacing. Unfortunately I can't wear these every day. I've compared a couple of pairs of these directly with the GTS8 and it is definitely narrower across the toe area. I hope the design reverts back for the next version.

Overall a Great support shoe but maybe a Softer Heel foam would make it A Greater shoe .. more bounce would help but still satisfied it does support well .

Good fit and look. Shoe tongue keeps riding to the side causing irritation.

The stitches on the strip across the laces, are very uncomfortable on the top of your foot. The rubbing made my dorsal sore and red. Uncomfortable.

I was really excited about this shoe, as I have been a loyal Adrenaline customer. The overall build quality of the Launch is not what I am used to. The tongue is much too thin, the laces are too short, and the height in the foot box doesn't leave enough room for my insoles. The Adrenaline is just a far superior product.

Only wore them once. Toe is very narrow, not a good fit for me

Poorly constructed, wears out too quickly. In particular, the padding at the heel becomes frayed within a few months of wear.

love the look of this shoe and big fan of Brooks running shoes in general but felt the lack of support/cushion with this shoe and felt some soarness above knee caps after both runs.

The tongue padding is nearly nonexistent. I am unable to tighten the laces because the lack of padding on the tongue. Due to this, I am experiencing pain on the top of both feet from the laces.

Compared to my last pair of launches this pair runs very narrow at the toes. Not the most comfortable.

Love the shoesand the fit. Do not like the available color choices.

This clearly was not the right type shoe for me... too hard a landing ... to me this was a shoe more for heel-toe runners ... I had to return it ... sorry ... the Hyperion Tempo is a good shoe for me ... I also like one of your competitors shoes, i.e., the New Balance Rebel ... I think I'm more of a midfoot to forefoot striker and that's where I need my spring

Very painful transition from Launch 8 to this. Probably my fault for not realizing this would be a completely different feel from the regular launch

They are attractive, although I want more color options for wide width sizes. I had to return them because I immediately felt pain from pressure on problem areas of my feet. I went to the store and tried on the Ghost style and it was comfort from the start.

I have loved many pairs of Launch GTS 8s. My pair of Launch GTS 9s are a big disappointment. I ordered and received my usual size but the shoes are too tight and very uncomfortable. First Brooks shoes that I have not enjoyed.

I've been wearing this brand for years and is the only one that I've never liked. I purchased on average 3-4 pairs of shoes in a years period. Also I don't like the shoe laces, I can't get the shoes tight enough to give me the proper amount of support.
