Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 10 GTS

I'm very disappointed with my latest pair of these! I've been wearing this style for a couple of years but the latest pair is giving me horrible calf pain every time I run in them. They are cute but basically useless.

I've put about 250 miles on these shoes so far, so now I can give an honest review: The 9's were superior. The shoe got narrower with the 10's, which I though was great initially since I have narrow feet, but they aggravate a wee bunion I have forming. I may have to try the wide version when I order my next pair. The other downside is they feel less cushioned than the 9's. I do not like much cushion in my shoes, which is why I've been running in the Launch for the last 10 years, but these have aggravated some pesky tendonitis in my left foot that I have dealt with for years but that I am now desperately trying to heal before my next marathon in 4 weeks. My feet will adjust to the extra stiffness eventually, so I will stick with them. The biggest downside for me honestly though is the colorways. Come on Brooks! I love your shoes, and I'll stick to them through thick and thin, but they have got to be the least on trend colorways from any company on the market today. Especially for women! In a world that is trending towards neutrals, how is pink cheetah one of the options when there are only 3 colors available?!?!? All that aside, they have a similar ride to the 9's, and I feel that the laces are an improvement. I haven't needed to double knot them and they stay tied and don't seem to loosen up. The tongue is also an improvement. I have very high arches, and was struggling with the 9's a bit because the top laces hit my foot in a weird place if I wasn't careful and caused some bruising. I had to order up another half size in the 9's to protect the top of my foot. This is fixed in the 10's. Conclusion is I will be ordering a few pairs of the 9's while they're still in stock, but will ultimately stick to the 10's for the long haul. But please give us better colors!

I like the shoe, but the tongue comes up much higher than previous models and rubs against the front of my ankle. I had to buy taller socks to accommodate. Otherwise pretty similar to previous models. I like the color choices.

The Launch GTS 10 is slightly smaller than the Launch 9. I wish I had gotten a half size larger. The tongue needs to be a bit thicker. It also feels like there is less cushion in the Launch 10 vs. the Launch 9. Still a good shoe, but the 9 was better.

I started with the Ravenna, which I loved, then the changed the name to Launch, which was basically the same shoe. However, the redesign of the Launch 10 does not work for me. The shoe seems skinnier. I tried loosening the laces, but that didn't work. I am returning my pair and ordered the Launch 9 from your inventory. I'll b trying a different shoe next time.

This is my 3rd pair of the Launch, a consistently great shoe. Lightweight, neutral support for my mid to forefoot strike. True to size. At first I thought the updated tongue would be uncomfortable - it's nicely flat but stiff - but I've been running in these shoes for a month (about 15 miles a week) and have no complaints.

These are not as nice quality as my previous Launch GTS. The new ones fit tighter, feel slightly smaller, and the padding around my foot feels thinner. They will work but not as happy with them as my old pair of Launch GTS.

These shoes have a narrow fit to them at the front. I find these shoes make my feet hot.

I really tried to like these shoes, but I'm having to return them after just 2 days. They are much more narrow than I anticipated- and I typically like snug shoes. While the middle of the foot seemed snug, I felt like the ankle/back of shoe was loose. When trying to tighten the laces to accommodate, it caused pain on the inside of my foot. I tried walking in them and wearing them around the house. I did like the style of the laces. They are thin and this is the first pair of laces I did not have to double knot. They stayed tied all day long. I also liked the thinness of the tongue and how it stayed in place throughout the day.

The toe thing on the inside was so sharp that within hours it had sliced through the cloth on the top of the sneaker. I returned them and now I'm reluctant to buy another pair. I don't know if they decided to go with cheap manufacturing to save money, but it's going to cost you in sales in the end.

I like the shoes but the right shoe has a permanent indentation at the big toe that's very aggravating. I've tried to push it out several times, but it always come back. It's a design flaw that I cannot stand. If you see this review Brooks, please send me another pair of the same shoe.

Amazing fit! I love the shoes although I could have used a wide the shoe still fits and it's comfortable

I stand all day for my job, and I found these. To me, I think they're more comfortable than the Ghosts. I enjoy the support my feet felt. When I got home, it didn't feel as though I was standing all day. I just wish they had more colors. I bought an 8, same size I wear in the Ghosts and I was in no pain at all.

Comfortable and light. Great support! Love the color options! Sddedddffffffffffffg

Love them! Great fit! Needed stability and they are what I was hoping for.
