Perfect Balance Of Weight And Comfort

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Launch 12 is the perfect running shoe for me. I am a light (57kg), neutral runner (5 min/km pace) and they provide a good balance of weight and cushioning. Previous to these I had Hyperion which I found to be too thin in the sole for me. You could feel every indentation on rough surfaces such as gravel. I now use the Hyperions for cross training (Martial Arts). Then I tried Hyperion Max. I felt I was too slow a runner for them. The Max seemed to come into their own at speed (<4 min/km) but I can't maintain that rate for very long these days. So back to the Launch 12 (I have also had Launch 5 and 7), and I am very happy.

Yes Buy!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the fit and comfort wish I could get extra insoles..

An Improvement Over The 11s

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not sure exactly what they changed between the 11 and the 12s, but these are an improvement. They feel lighter, faster, and more responsive. Plus at longer distances (20+ miles), the 11s would start to give me blisters, but that is no longer a problem with these.

Fantastic Shoe

Love my new Brooks Launch. This is my eighth pair of Launch so they are definately good for me

Great Everyday Shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The launch 12 improved on the 11 and has a bit more room in the toe box which makes a difference. This is the best shoe in the lineup as it has a great balance between structure and comfort. It is increasingly hard to find shoes that don't feel like you are standing on a foam mattress and these are the best option I have found. Great everyday shoes

Launch For Life

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great shoe for running or walking. Very lightweight and cushioned. Very comfortable.

Exchange Sizes.

I bought a size 13 for my grandson and they are too big. I need to return them for a smaller size. Need to know how to do this. He loves Brooks shoes as do I.

Merica Launch 12s

American Flair

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the Launch 12 for both running and walking from day one that I had them. They look smart, too!

Will Never Go Back To Hoka

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent! Just enough squish but does not sacrifice support at all. Hugs tight from the laces to the arch support. Way better than flabby hoka. Already picking out my next color.

Best Walking Shoe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my go to walking shoe! The 12 is the best version yet!

Great Shoe!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this shoe. Color scheme is good and the shoe is comfortable. I line a wide toe box and this shoe delivers. I line everything about this shoe.

Another Great Pair Of Bricks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes are very comfortable and allow for very smooth stride. Plus I love the patriotic look!

Comfort And Fit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable and give me the support I need for daily foot and work wear.

ToddR

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoes are great! I really like the springy responsive feeling when running. The perfect amount of cushion and firmness. My only wish is that there were better colors to choose from. I feel the overall color selection is bland. I’m someone that likes to wear a brightly colored running shoes.
