very uncomfortable, narrow everywhere, small room for toes, poor design. Material isn't soft. Big disappointment.

I was looking for a comfortable shoe that was roomy in the toe area. I ordered an 8 wide. The shoe was not wide, it was long and narrow. I had to return the shoes and ordered a different brand.

This shoe fit my feet perfectly. I ordered a 10.5 wide and the width was just right as one foot is a bit wide and the other is not (the mesh upper helps to hug both feet just right). The arch support is excellent as I have flat feet and with this shoe, do not need to wear my orthotics from my podiatrist. I walk over 5 miles daily, 4-6 days/week at about 4.5 miles/hour, and my feet have absolutely no pain like I experience with other shoes. Ive been wearing Brooks Adrenaline GTS since 2017 and now the Launch GTS is my favorite shoe!

The 8 1/2 wide feels just a bit narrower than previous Brooks fit. I've been wearing them for over 20 years and this is the first pair that did not fit true to size.

I’ve worn Brooks Ravennas for 5 years and was always happy with the wear and comfort. I have had plantar fasciitis several times in the past and I tend to pronate and these were my constants . The Ravennas has been discontinued and replaced by the Launch. These do not wear well and are not as comfortable. In three months of wear- which is about when I’ve replaced them in the past, the upper shoe is wearing through in both shoes at the crease behind the vamp and above the laces. It’s frustrating because the sole is still good and there are more miles but I cannot wear shoes that are falling apart. I’m very disappointed.

I love this shoe. It is very comfortable and nice and springy. The are absolutely great for walking. I am 73 and walk 2 to 4 miles 4 to 5 days a week. I also have flat feet. They feel wonderful.

I loved this shoe BUT my heel slipped too much. My Ghost 10 shoes still fit the best.

Excellent support for the heel and arch - yet the ball of the foot is not as cushioned as the arch & heel. Would not recommend. As a matter of fact - would return if I could. Just spent my first 7 days of use and lots of walking - NOT good

didn't fit like a normal Brooks and felt like there was zero arch support. As an avid wearer of Ghost 14, this is a disappointing shoe. VERY cute design and color but no way could I ever wear it. Back it goes.........

I ordered my correct shoe size, however, they are extremely wide. Everything else feels good.

A nice improvement on the classic Launch, GTS adds stability, but not weight, not noticeably anyway. FIts better than my regular Launch, more room in the front. Recommend.

I love them! The color is my color which adds to the love. My story is a daily runner for 20+ years. Took on 2 jobs causing no time for anything else. A whole year of unhappiness. I am a live to run person. I was looking for a non-slip shoe due to my foresty neighborhood. Combo of rain/leaves and it's a tentative or no run which I hate. I'm also an all weather, loved NY winter, runner. Easing into it with success I credit to the shoes. These shoes are so perfect for the impact and stability.

I've had many different pairs of Brooks but these Launch GTS 9's feel like they give me the best support! I'm definitely purchasing more in different colors! My plantar fasciitis thanks you!

So comfortable. Strangely the laces are poor quality, are already tearing apart. Have never had tennis shoe laces fall apart like this.

I had the black and orchid design. I found the shoes very comfortable, I liked the width which was a little narrower. I found I stood and moved with more weight on my heel which I personally like. Of course the price was right. Thanks.

I have 20 miles on them, and so far, so good! Like all Brooks, they aren't "cushy" out of the box. But they feel the same after a few hundred miles as they do brand new. The "cushy" kinds of shoes go flat and lose their bounce. Brooks are steady. Like me.
