Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 11

I have been wearing Brooks for many years for work. As a nurse who works on my feet for long hours, they make it feel as though I am walking on clouds. But, the Womans Launch 11 are way too cute to wear in the hospital! I have been wearing them to the gym on the treadmill and weight lifting. And just like while at work, I feel like I am running on clouds. These shoes provide plenty of support all while being breathable and light weight. The Womans Launch 11 will now be my go to workout shoe and I will also be purchasing a pair for work.

I alternate the Launch 11 and Hyperion for daily treadmill workouts. The Launch reminds me more of the previous Hyperion Tempo than the current Hyperion does. Both are light weight with adequate cushion and excellent propulsion. Good traction. The Launch upper is softer and more flexible than the Hyperion and provides better mid-foot lockdown. Overall, the appearance and performance of the Launch 11 far exceed its price point.

I love the new launch- they are a great fit and I love the cushioning. This pair is more comfortable than the Launch GTS I wore. The new look is spot on too! The only thing is they dont stay tied very well .

These shoes were beautiful but I never wore them. I ordered them on the premise of them being similar to the Launch 10. My launch 10's say speed on them. These days run/walk. I will be transitioning to another speed trained once I finish the mileage on my other Launch 10's. But if you love fashionable shoes meant for regular training, these are for you

Love these shoes. They were a little tight in the sides but they loosened as I wore them. The padding in the bottoms is very comfortable and they make for a great all day wear and are the perfect pair of shoes for running.

I gifted this particular Brooks pair for my wife, who is a school nurse and casual treadmill runner. Shes been wearing it for about a month now, and says its comfortable for day wear when shes at work. She walks nearly 3 miles a day walking back and forth to different classes and around her schools main office, while tending to kids and talking to parents. Shell also wear it to the gym to run on the treadmill, and she prefers this pair over her Nike Free Runs since it has more cushion. My wife also loves the color pink, so its a plus! Though it has padding, she mentioned her Hokas have the most cushion. But the Brooks doesnt disappoint!

If your feet are even slightly wider than normal, go with the wide. I have never worn wide shoes in my life (casual or running) and always buy my running shoes one full size bigger than my dress shoes. Based upon the reviews I ordered a full size bigger and in a wide. Honestly they still feel snug but comfortable. It is a bit of a bummer because I would have liked one of the more fun colors but they will be full of mud and slop from winter / spring running so I guess it doesnt matter. If Brooks is going to continue to make shoes so narrow, I hope they add more colors. I go back the Ravenna days and loved those shoes. These feel like my previous Launch shoes which work but not perfect.

The shoe fits true to size. It does hug the sides so I would say fits best for narrow feet. The lace up works well for both casual tying and double knot. The breathability and lightness of the shoe makes it easy to wear all day long. The shoe has really good grip on the bottom making it good for indoors. I like the traditional pallet of colors chosen for the shoe. I feel like too many other shoes have wild designs and colors. I wouldn't recommend wearing these for any sort of lifting, but they work well if you are doing some light calisthenics mixed in with the running. The narrow portion of the shoe through the toes could use a little more space as my toes are getting a little crowded. A lot of my family has narrow feet and would recommend them to people I know have narrow feet. My husband has a wider foot so this shoe style in mens would likely not be the best fit.

I absolutely love this shoe! Brooks has done it again with their Womens Launch 11 running shoe. The design is feminine yet subtle, girly but not obnoxious. I felt incredibly light on my feet wearing these and could definitely have them on all day. The lightness of this footwear makes running a pleasant experience. Theres great breathability in this material and an almost buoyant feel! I truly feel bouncy and agile while wearing them. The small change I would make is that the toe end has significantly less support and for someone who may tend to put more weight on their toes while walking or running, I feel this aspect could be problematic.

Comfort and fit are important for me since I fractured my ankle badly some years ago. The Launch 11s held up very well as far as that. They are lightweight and I felt like I could move freely from walking and jogging. Your feet sink into the foam sole just enough as you move. The fit is great. There is enough give for my ankle to stay comfy as it swells. The fabric is breathable and I love the design and color choice of a neutral pink. I wish the laces were a bit longer. Overall I will continue to use these for my workouts.

I love these shoes! They provide amazing support and my feet do not bother at all. The fit is slightly more narrow but perfect fit for me. Now I just need more color selections so I can order more!

This shoe is amazing in every way. I run most days between 2-4 miles per day. I have been running for 25+ years and I am very picky about what shoe I run in. I have a neutral foot and prefer a lighter shoe with cushion. When I first put these shoes on, I literally felt like my feet were in a cloud. They are light, sturdy and full of cushion. The gold accents put this shoe over the top in the pretty category. My first run/workout while wearing them was at the gym. In addition to having an amazing run, people noticed them and wanted to know the brand! I could have worn them all day - they are THAT comfortable. However, I save my running shoes for running. Yes, I am that person. Brooks Launch checked every box for me. I am a new fan!

I had a good experience with these shoes. They are comfortable to run and walk in. I think the style is current and sleek. Overall I would recommend!

The Launch 11 shoes have truly impressed me! They've quickly become one of my top choices. The lightweight design is exactly what I seek in footwear. With a well-thought-out feel and sleek appearance, the Launch offers strategically placed padding that enhances comfort while maintaining the stability that Brooks is known for. They're both breathable and durable, making them a reliable option. Plus, the heel features extra padding to prevent any rubbing or slipping. Overall, these shoes are a fantastic addition to anyone's collection.

Would give a 2.5 if I could. These look really cool and I wanted to like them but this version hurt my feet. I cant tell if its because theyre more firm than previous Launches or what but my ankle started hurting after I started wearing them and stopped when I switched to a different pair. Hopefully its just me and not everyones experience because they look super cool!! Great job on the aesthetic part of the design!

I loved the previous Launches, this new one has too much cushion compared to previous Launch shoes. I would not recommend if you liked previous Launch styles.

Lightweight and comfortable. Just enough cushioning for short and long runs.

After a full day of wearing these shoes, I have a love/hate relationship with them. I love the look of them, stylish for a running shoe, and I also appreciate how light of weight the shoe is. However, after an hour of walking, my heels hurt really bad. I'm not sure if it's because I just need to break the shoes in or if it's not the right shoe for my foot. I feel like they fit & feel very different from previous Launch shoes, but I'm hopeful that after wearing these new ones another time or two, I will love them. Fingers crossed!

I have not enjoyed the Launch since version 8 but was hoping this would be different. I like the return to a softer tongue but the overall show has less cushion and feels very hard. I also do not like how the toe box seems more curved and it does not fit my foot as well. I was hoping Launch 11 would be a return to glory for my favorite running shoes but I am sad to say Im looking to other brands for the first time in many years.
