Comments about Launch:
I am a marathoner who is always looking for a great pair of shoes. Brooks Launch are the first pair of shoes that I have never had a blister with and I am now on my second pair. I will be buying these again and again. Mileage on the first pair was close to 300 miles.

I love these shoes! They are so light and a perfect fit for my foot (small with a normal to high arch). After my workout, I find that my knees don't hurt like they did when I wore my old shoes.

Comments about Launch:
Before this shoe i had the Ghosts i liked those as well but these feel so much lighter on your feet. I love this shoe, i got the white and purple ones in July and that lasted until January and they are still in good shape. I ended up getting the same shoe but a different design for track this spring.

Comments about Launch:
I used my bright blue Launch shoes for marathon training going into the San Antonio Marathon. The shoes were lightweight but had just enough cushioning to support me during long runs. Seems that with other shoes, you have to sacrifice support for lightweight, I didn't feel that at all with these shoes. When I first started using them, the tongue did bunch up on me around mile 10 and would put pressure on the top of my foot. This happened twice, but relacing my shoes by looping through the top two laces (apparently, there is a *right* way to tie your laces for marathons) and this pulled the shoe around my foot better and kept the tongue from scrunching up. The shoes have lasted since October (it's currently the middle of January), while I have racked up long long long runs, including the November San Antonio marathon. I don't feel like they've broken down yet and am actually hoping they take me through spring training and into my next race. Additionally, tying up my shoes and seeing the shoelaces remind me to "Dig Deep" always puts a smile on my face!

Comments about Launch:
I usually run on trails, but do 5K road races. I discovered that the shoes I was planning to wear for a road race didn't fit right. Bought these the night before the race. Wore them in the race. Noticed a couple of things. First, they were very light & comfortable. Second, normally, my feet hurt after a road race. Not anymore with the Launch!
I love this shoe and look forward to getting the next cool color combo when it comes out (assuming there is a new color in the works).

Comments about Launch:
This is a really balanced shoe without a built up medial side. I've had problems with peroneal tendon tears due to supination. This shoe allows me to run pain free. Please Brooks do not add anything to build up the medial side when you update this shoe!!!!! It is perfect as is.
