Looks Great And Functions Better.
Nice solid built shoe that remains lightweight but sturdy. Nice cushioned landings with good traction. Would definitely recommend and will probably buy another pair soon.

A Ghost Loyalist Converted: The Launch 12 Won Me Over
I've been wearing the Brooks Ghost for years. When I find a shoe I like and works well for me, I stick with it. So for me to stray from my usual model and try a new shoe is a big deal. All the reviews for the Launch were people saying they love it and use it for an everyday trainer. I agree 100%. I ran a 20 mile training run yesterday and remember telling my running partner that I couldn't believe how much I love these shoes! I've put over 100 miles on the Launch already in training runs and I'm so impressed with the feel of this shoe. Not only is it very comfortable on my foot, but it feels right on the run. The side wall doesn't carve into my ankle, there's the perfect amount of cushioning balanced from the back of the shoe to the front, and the laces and tongue don't put pressure on the top of my foot when I cinch them down. The cherry on top is the design. I'm a veteran and very patriotic, so the red, white and blue design with USA printed on the side of the sole was a big selling point. I'm sold on the Launch 12.

Cross Country Runner
I bought these for my son who is running for the first time with his school's cross country team. We took the "shoe finder" test and this is the one it said was best for him. They feel great and run well. He really likes them, and we would definitely purchase again. They also fit well. true to size.

Core Shoe
Solid shoe. Fast and agile and good for daily short runs and walking. At this price I don’t feel bad replacing them each season. Great multi purpose shoe.

Proud To Be An American!
Received my new pair of Launch 12 shoes with the patriotic red, white and blue. As always, the shoes fit perfectly from the first time I put them on. And I loved the 2 sets of shoe strings, red and blue, so I can look as patriotic as I want to be. Could even wear blue on one shoe and red on the other. Brooks has been my favorite shoe for more years than I can remember.

Launch Versus Long Time Ghost Runner
I am trying the launch to see if it has a lighter feel than the Ghost. I am also needing more support in the heal of the running shoe. I have notice that the Launch does feel tighter in the toe box and tread design is different from the Ghost I did order the US FIFA limited edition colors that include both red or blue laces. I like the style and are good to run and an walk in. I have not put to many miles on them yet and still testing wear and reliability.

Lightweight And Supportive
I've been wearing Launch series shoes for running for years. My 12 year old son needed running shoes for sports training and he has grown out of kid sizing. I got him a pair of Launch 12 and he loves them.

Great Balanced Shoe
They are a great, balanced shoe. As someone with a neutral gate with high arches, I have ran in these for about 5+ years now and never had issues. Typically will last me about 350-400 miles. Love them
