Excellent Walking Shoe with fun pattern - Brooks “Launch” line

Deep soft cushioning in these Brooks make feet comfy and snug. Fun pattern to wear. Laces nice and long for double tie. Super light on your feet and offer good stability. These are a lot lighter than Brooks Adrenaline line and a nice change up if you’re walking everyday. I use these on my shorter walks. Toe box has a lot of room to move around but not too much whereby your foot would shift. Hold up well over time and are easy to clean.Great price too if you need a few pair. These are very durable and I already bought a 2nd pair in a different pattern! *** The pair in the pictures attached have over 200,000 steps outside and still feel great.

Lightweight neutral shoes

These are lightweight neutral shoes, they should only be worn by people that have a confirmed neutral stride. If you are over pronator, or over supinator, then you should not use these shoes. Especially for running, you must have shoes that fit the way that your foot strides. You can usually get this service done at a local running store, with no obligation to buy at the very expensive inflated prices. And then go on here and find good shoes that are a few years old, that still fit your needs. These shoes work very well, they are very light, they are very neutral, and the cushioning is very minimal and they're very responsive. If this is what you need to suit your needs, and this is what you're used to, then these are excellent shoes. The ark support is fairly minimal, the heel cushion is fairly minimal, but the stride feel, and the roll through into the amount of energy that you put into the shoe, is fair.

Very good basic running shoe from Brooks, cushiony enough, comfortable.

Comfortable and the normal width in size 12 is properly wide. I have purchased Launch in the past, had some Launch 6 shoes I liked. I bought some Launch 7's and they felt as though Brooks had changed them some and I didn't like the changes. They fit differently, were tight, not as comfortable. So I didn't buy any more of the Launch series. 3-4 years later I saw these Launch 9 models and decided to give them a shot. I've run in them 4 times so far and like them as much as a liked the Launch 6 model. The Launch 6 was a pretty durable show, got 500 miles + in the ones I had before they wore too much and they were still good for kicking around in after I quit using them for running. My preferred brand is Adidas and I have several pairs of shoes I rotate when running, but these are definitely part of the rotation going forward. If they fall apart early or something like that I will add that later, but they appear very well made. I run 30 to 35 miles per week and am 69 years old.

Best bang for your buck!

I have owned several pairs of these shoes, specifically the 9's. I am a 43 yr old Cross Country Coach and have put many young athletes in these for training and racing and they have delivered. My son is a high school freshmen and rotates 3 pairs of these for his training; zero complaints. I previously have run in Saucony, New Balance, Adidas, Nike, Reebok, Sketchers, Mizuno, Puma & probably a few I forget. I started running exclusively in Brooks about 5 years ago and have zero regrets. They hold up to 300-500 hard miles and look good doing it. I have a very normal (11.5M) shaped foot with an athletic arch. My sons foot has a wider toe box than mine and he also loves the fit.

Brooks are the best!

The shoes fit perfectly and are the most comfortable Brooks to date. These are my favorite ones. Super cheap price, look great and feel incredible. I've owned Brooks Beast, Ghost, and others...these are my favorite. Can't go wrong with Brooks Launch. Perfect shoe.

Great shoes! Slippery on wet surfaces

Great shoes!Bought them 2 years ago and I use them till this very day! Have some decent mileage on these.For the low price - this is a no-brainer.Only downside is they are a bit slippery on wet surfaces, so if you plan to run in the rain, I might consider something else.
