Men's Launch 7

I put my left brooks shoe on which felt fine and then my right. My right shoe felt like it had something in it. I looked under the sole of my right shoe and I found two syringes and they both have liquid in them. I have a witness to this and it will be reported!!

SO, I didn't notice when I ordered these that the shoes were colored to be exact opposite of each other. When they arrived, I was a little confused but as I laced them up and whatever, I discovered how SICK this shoes really are. They are AWESOME. They are essentially an American flag expressed through shoe design. There are stars on the red side Brooks logo and stripes on the blue side Brooks logo. They are SO comfortable and the colors are just fantastic. They thought of every detail. The laces are one blue, one red. Everyone I show them off to say, dude...those are awesome. I was NOT paid to write this review and straight up...comfortable, good for walking, good for running, lightweight and they look awesome. Only ONE thing, the white gets scuffed up easily, but sneaker cleaner can fix that.

I bought these sneakers while a bit "tipsy"- I sent a pic of the sneaker to the guy I was with and we laughed at how tipsy I was as the color is horrendous- all that being said- I was excited to try them out when they arrived. put them on- they felt great went for a 3 mile walk. About a mile in- heel started bleeding on left foot. I stopped- pulled the laces super tight and was ok rest of the walk. Next day I usually switch sneakers but I said- let me break them in- went on a 3 mile- half run and walk with band aid on.....it felt ok- the sneaker feels perfect- quick- but that heel rubs. Now today I had to do some errands- I said ok let me wear them around. Put 2 band aids on- literally limping around do to my heel/achilles being so sore. I took them off- put on my AllBirds runners- and my feet feel fantastic in the Allbirds. these Brooks are a zero!!!!! I wish I read the reviews before I purchased- You shouldn't have to limp around and bleed due to a new pair of sneakers- These sneakers are now in my trash

The backs of these are just tall enough to rub the back of my ankle raw. I have to put on bandaids to walk around the block.

I love that these are lightweight and generally comfortable. However, as so many others have pointed out about Brooks shoes, there's no consideration of the achilles tendon. The shoes hug the foot nicely, but they press against my achilles tendon with every step, and have caused the worst blisters I've ever had. I'm not sure why this aspect of their design hasn't been corrected, as hundreds of reviews online cite this as a serious issue. For now I'm going to bandage my foot while wearing them and hope for the best.

Great lightweight running shoes. Hubby runs about 100 miles per month and buys shoes regularly. He often deals with shin splints but has not had any issues since running in these. It has a minimal drop and cushions his stride well. He tends to need a wider toe box and a decent amount of cushioning around the heal. These offered both. A great long-distance running shoe!

To the running shoe manufacturers of the world, I beg you, WE beg you, stop making shoes where the top, rear portion of the shoe is an inch higher than the rest of the shoe. This rinky-dink piece of cloth and synthetic material digs into the area around your Achilles tendon until you're bleeding like Curt Schilling in Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS.I also bought a pair of Under Armour running shoes with this same sadomasochistic "feature". This shoe and that shoe were otherwise great, minus the fact you bleed like a crucified Roman after 5 minutes of running. Yet you all keep making running shoes like this so you all obviously are Not Reading the Reviews™ because multiple reviews keep saying the same darn thing.This is why I should learn never to buy a running shoe online. To prospective buyers: most reputable running shoe stores will let you try on a shoe and test it out. Buy in person and not online or else potentially have your feet shredded to pulp, which is a lesson you'd think I'd've learned after getting burned once. Guess I shall break out the scissors and perform surgery on these shoes so they stop performing surgery on me.

Lightest shoe ever, wonderful cushion. Brooks is the best.

Con la settima versione delle Brooks Launch 7, l'azienda di Seattle non ha fondamentalmente cambiato nulla della filosofia che ha ispirato questo modello. Ossia: una scarpa reattiva, veloce. Al tempo stesso le Launch 7 non si presentano estreme e mantengono una buona ammortizzazione. Infine, le Launch 7 sono abbastanza protettive da poter essere usata per alti chilometraggi, nonostante i loro 255 grammi di peso nel modello 9.🍭UTILIZZO E BENEFICI🍭Questo modello di Brooks è considerato come "speed", quindi sono suggerite solamente per podisti dal peso ottimizzato, con una buona esperienza di corsa. Per questa categoria di podisti, le Launch 7 sono scarpe da corsa per lavori di qualità a passi medio-veloci e per gare medio lunghe. A livello di calzata, sono comode come tutte le Brooks e la numerazione non differisce con gli altri modelli. Hanno davvero ottime caratteristiche che le distinguono dagli altri modelli: tomaia comoda, conchiglia del tallone rigida ed avvolgente, lacci molto elasticizzati, confort unico.🍭PRO:🍭🏅 ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, soprattutto in alcune colorazioni (io ho preso quelle rosse).🏅 consente di correre a tutte le velocità, anche se eccelle sicuramente sui medi e sulle ripetute🏅 offre una protezione unica, nonostante la scarpa pesi solamente 255 grammi nella versione 42.5 EU, ossia 9 US🏅tomaia confortevole in mesh a singolo strato dal design assolutamente elegante🏅grip del battistrada eccellente, anche in condizioni sfavorevoli🍭CONTRO:🍭💣scarpa adatta solamente a chi ha un peso inferiore ai 73kg, oltre il quale suggerisco di passare alle Ghost 13.

A nice lightweight faster trainer which is good for most distances, definitely better on the road, not enough grip for trails.Good firm cushion but the tread and midsole do wear pretty fast, I get around 600km out of a pair versus around 800km from the older models or from a pair of ghosts

Nice and light. I have a pair of Brooks ghost which are definitely more comfortable. Think I'd do a faster time in the ghost too. Maybe that's just me as I think the launch are supposed to be 'faster'. Size was fine. No issues there

Bought for my wife to get some jogging in for fitness.She is happy with them although it's early days yet

I would have liked more cushioning personally, but okay for the price.
