These shoes are my favourite because they are true to size, very comfortable & extremely light weight. I have several pairs and I use them for walking & running. They withstand a lot of wear and are great quality, fit & colour! Highly recommend these shoes for people who do not have wide feet.

After a couple of years using some nice non descript Adidas running shoes I decided to try something new. OK, that and the fact that the soles had already got all the miles they could have on them.The Brooks came out nicely reviewed as a every day runner with a nice neutral stride. Have to agree with that assessment!After 3 weeks of running in them, mostly warm to hot weather and short runs between 5K and 10K, I am nothing but happy.There was no breaking in period at all. They also don't run hot even in this blistering weather and they are true to size.Another big improvement has been on how my joints feel after running. Huge difference there!I will definitely check what Brooks has going on next time I need to buy new trainers.

This is my 3rd pair of Brooks Launch. I find the Launch 9 to be slightly less comfortable than the 8. All due to the redesign of the upper. The tongue of the shoe is very thin and I don’t like the feel of it compared to the 8. Otherwise this is an great shoe that sells at an excellent price point and is good value for the money. I run almost exclusively on road, 50-100km per week up to marathon distance. The last two pairs had 800km before I swapped them out. I wear a size 13 and it fits true to size.

This is my 3rd pair of Launch shoes and they are still a great shoe. I won’t be buying anything else.I have just finished the Bindi to Manly Coastal walk (87 Klms) over 3 days and they were perfect in all types of terrain, gravel, sand, rock hopping, bitumen, steel grates etc.My current Launch 9 shoe are the best.
Lightweight, comfortable, great colours. Classic Brooks fit which I’m used to and suits me well. Was looking for something to replace my now very old Hyperions (the original ones). These are a little more padded and a bit heavier but a good replacement.Will stock up on a few pairs of these.
I got the Launch 9's mainly for running and training at the gym. Not only we're they discounted, thanks Altitude Sports, but they look cool and are minimal in their design. They're very light and feel good on the feet as most Brooks shoes do. I own a few other pairs and I've had no isses. I'd definitely reccomend them!
I bought these for my husband and he is really enjoying them. He wears these while running, casual bike rides, and when doing work around/outside the house. He has a wide foot but these fit comfortably! These seem to run true to size. Unfortunately, I have heard Brooks is discontinuing the Launch model of shoe. I hope this is not true because these are awesome!
I bought this shoe because I am a coach and I was trying to figure out the best fit for me that didn’t hurt my feet. I stumbled upon these during a trip to the store (no pun intended). Wore them for a game on the sidelines and my feet did not hurt at all! My only issue with the shoes is that I have flat feet which makes my feet wide and the size 13 wide shoe, my feet still reach over the sides
I've been buying the Launch since 2017. They've always been my go to for short fast runs. These shoes are decreasing in quality with every model. They're still lightweight and comfortable but they don't have the cushion and spring that previous models did. They look super cool and are a great everyday sneaker but if you're looking for the spring and response that this model used to have, I would look elsewhere.
I had a pair of these after running through 5 pairs of Launch 8. These are too tight at the beginning of the toe box from the laces to the tip of the shoe, and after 400 miles they felt just as restrictive. It feels much more restrictive than the Launch 8. I like having a bit more room in the toe box, and these shoes are not it. Another brand did this same things a few years ago and I completely switched all of my shoes from them after they ruined an amazing shoe. I found another pair of Launch 8, but there are only so many old models to keep buying. I don't have a wide foot, so the wide shoe is far too wide and fits poorly. I ran about 50-60 miles in these a week.
