Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 10 GTS

Run very narrow, im 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 love the shoes; as I usually do love any Brooks that I buy. I am most definitely disappointed in the delivery service though. It took almost a MONTH to get my shoes. Then I called the company to see where my package was and they couldnt find it - and then it miraculously showed up the next morning..I think I will only buy from an actual store from now on.

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

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.

I like these a lot and they are great to wear all day at work, my feet do not hurt after work like they used to before switching to Brooks. I do think the Ghost has more cushioning and I will likely stick with those from now on but I still really like these in the 2E

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.

Doesnt support my left leaning feet.

These are so very comfortable! I love them. Im a retail manager and spend all of my shift walking. These are great! I also have very bad plantar fasciitis, heel spurs and neuromas in my feet.

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. Its so different that it doesnt 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. Im going to keep using them and maybe theyll form to me more but Im worried about longer distances. Good thing is that no shin pain yet.

My first pair of brooks. Originally I ordered a normal width that was far too tight on my feet, but its hard to tell without trying things on and my feet do run wide. Return was quick and easy swapped for a wide with and these are easily some of the best shoes Ive owned. I can go from RN shift to work out in the same shoes, my legs and feet do not feel fatigued and my joints feel great!

Im very disappointed with my latest pair of these! Ive 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.

After having run with my new Launch GTS 10 on both the treadmill and the track, I have to say that I really like them! They feel light and yet my arch is well supported by each shoe. So if you're looking for a speed shoe with good support, give the Launch a try.

These have been my go to for a couple of years. perfect fit for my foot and I was even able to wear my custom insoles in them no problem. However, I recently switched to the Hyperion because I was looking for a bit more cushion in the ball of the foot. The Launch is a great shoe but it is quite hard to run on. I feel the older I get the more cushion my old legs require, haha.

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.

Love this shoe! Lots of support and super lightweight and comfortableI run anywhere from 3-10 miles at a pop and noticed my joints dont hurt after my longer runs like they used tohighly recommend!

Love these! Ive tried in several styles of Brooks and finally found the one for me! Cant wait Im ordering another pair!!!!!

The 10 is even better than 9. A little wider toe box maybe. I feel like less cushion but a slight move forward when I run. This was absent in the version 9. I think over all its a great improvement. Now give us some colors!!

Ive put about 250 miles on these shoes so far, so now I can give an honest review: The 9s were superior. The shoe got narrower with the 10s, 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 9s. I do not like much cushion in my shoes, which is why Ive 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 Ill 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 9s, and I feel that the laces are an improvement. I havent needed to double knot them and they stay tied and dont seem to loosen up. The tongue is also an improvement. I have very high arches, and was struggling with the 9s a bit because the top laces hit my foot in a weird place if I wasnt careful and caused some bruising. I had to order up another half size in the 9s to protect the top of my foot. This is fixed in the 10s. Conclusion is I will be ordering a few pairs of the 9s while theyre still in stock, but will ultimately stick to the 10s for the long haul. But please give us better colors!

The first word I would use to describe this shoe is supportive and sturdy. The sole of the shoe is definitely the star of the show. It makes the shoe incredibly stable and has a grippy tread. The top of the shoe is minimalist and very breathable. I appreciate this so much, as Im running in the summer and shoe breathability in the heat is huge. The sole of the shoe is not terribly cushy. The top fabric is pretty stiff, but it adds a little bit more stability, which is better for my feet when Im running. However, when Im just walking around in them, I wish the fabric on the top of the shoe had more give as I think theyd be a touch more comfortable. That being said Id definitely still wear these shoes all day, as my feet and ankles appreciate the stability the shoes provide. I love the colors. The neutral palate goes with everything.

I love my new black/white/purple shoes. Perfect fit and supreme comfort. If my size 5.5 W was also available in the blue. Id buy another pair today.
