Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 10 GTS

The reason I like the Launch is because they look slimmer and not so big and wide. They don't feel or look clunky. Having said that, the soles feel thinner and not quite as cushy as my Adrenalines.

Love the true to size fit and the bouncy step of this shoe. There is no breaking in period for any of the shoes I've ever purchased from Brooks. This is my second pair of Launch 10.

Overall they're great. I've been wearing this style for a few years (I miss Ravenna). The toe box is a little tight, forcing me to go up a half size. This seems to happen every few style updates, just as it did with Ravenna. Otherwise, it's a good, reliable shoe for road work.

I have run on the Launch 9 for a while. The biggest difference is the thickness of the tongue. The shoe tongue under the laces is flatter and less padded than the 9. I think it should still work for me, but I am still figuring out the sweet spot of how to tighten the shoe laces to the right amount.

For reference I had a long struggle with shin splints and tried many shoes and finally landed on the launch gts 8. I took the brooks shoe quiz to get to that shoe. Love them! Used them for 2 years and when they were worn out I figured I would order the same shoe, just newer. It's so different that it doesn't feel like the same shoe. Harder sole, runs small, the tongue has 2 different fabrics and bunches on the top of my foot. I like the thin material but something is off. I'm going to keep using them and maybe they'll form to me more but I'm worried about longer distances. Good thing is that no shin pain yet.

Great shoe. Much improved over the 9. It still would prefer a more padded tongue.

Love the shoes but the laces could use some work. They are flimsy and thin. I prefer round thicker laces. But great shoe overall

I used other styles before and they feel great on my feet right out of the box. i have a low arch so wearing these killed my feet. The arch support in these is going to be great but it will take some getting used too. Maybe every other day at work (10 hours) till I can break them in.

The show is pretty good, better with time once it has gotten broken in a little bit. I do find the toe box to be on the small side. That is why I give it three stars. Also, shoe laces are to short, hardly have enough to get them tied. I used the extra eye whole so that reduces the amount of lace, but they are still too short.

I don't like these as much as past editions of the same shoe. The toe box seems to be a lot narrower, and causes me discomfort. I do like that the mesh upper is more closely knit than previous versions.

Tongue is connected to the on the sides making it pull so tight across the top of my foot I didn't need to tie the shoe strings to keep the shoes on. The sole felt supportive and comfortable I hate that they did that with tongue, had to return them.

Not keen on the tongue which comes a long way up the front of my ankle.

I really liked my Launch GTS 8. I bought the 9 and did not like the tongue, which was changed from the 8. I was hoping the version 10 had changed the tongue but alas it is the same as on the 9. The tongue is way too stiff, making for an uncomfortable foot strike as it hits where the top of the foot hits the lowest part of front of lower leg. I do like the light weight, however. I run around 5-6 miles 3 to 4 times a week.

There is not enough cushion in the bottom. I thought that getting a running shoe would definitely help since I stand all day but unfortunately this model did not help.

Super disappointed in the Launch 10. Fits horrible. I've previously owned 4 pairs of Launch 8, which I LOVE!! So wish you would bring it back. I found the launch 10 to run small. Has a smaller toe box. A long tongue that you have to make sure you pull all the way up just to feel somewhat comfortable. I thought these just needed to be "broken in". But 3 weeks later and not much better.

They felt good. But generally size 5 in saucony. The size 5 in brooks was to big.

Run very narrow, i'm usually a medium fit, these kept numbing my toes after short runs (5K) despite lacing the shoes in different ways. I ended up returning them :(

I have worn Ravennas which became Launch GTS for years. This was the first pair I had to send back. Went with 7's (normal Brooks size) and they were too small. Ordered 7.5 and they were too long. So I'll try something else while I wait for a better version.

It pains me to write a negative review because the launch has consistently been my favorite running shoe for 5 years. Not sure why they changed the tongue on these.. as well as the laces. They come undone so easily.. I have to triple knot them on my runs.. which since they are so short causes pressure on the top of my foot and leads to pain for days every time I wear them :( seems the 10s are cheaply made compared to all other models yet they raised the price by 10 dollars. The padding is still comfortable but the top of the shoe is a problem. Please change back !!!!

Doesn't support my left leaning feet.
