Great, Snug Fit

Great fit! These shoes hug your feet in a way that make them feel simply like an extension of your foot. Supportive and durable.

Great Entry Level Shoe

I took this shoe on several short to mid length runs (5-6 miles) and felt like these were great value. They’re light on the high tech features that more expensive shoes have but were comfortable enough that I didn’t notice.

Great Fit And Looks Good

The Launch 12 catches your eye right out of the box. The color combination is appealing and I like the touch of adding the name on the medial inside of the upper. Lacing up reveals a shoe that is true to size and fits firm yet comfortable. I like the high heel tab and the added stability that it provides. Last but not least, performance. I’ve only worn the Launch 12 while road running, and the shoe does not disappoint. It has been very cold and wet in the Midwest recently, so I will speak to my experience. The shoe breathes well but is a bit chilly, and I wear a mid-weight wool sock. Traction on the wet surface has been good, even at different speeds. The cushion starts thick at the heel and drops as you get to the toe box, which fits with the way that I run. Overall, I’m impressed with the aesthetics and fit of the Launch 12 and have found the road running to be enjoyable.

Solid Shoe For Marathon Training

I need to start this off by saying I have been wearing the same shoe model for years, so trying something new is a big deal for me. I tried them on just a short run initially, but they have become regulars in my rotation. They provide a smooth ride with the right amount of cushion. They are light and did not affect my stride whatsoever. They hold my foot well and have caused no pain or running issues. I am also impressed with the way they have worn. I would 100% consider switching to these from my usual.

Walking On A Cloud

Fun contemporary style sets it apart from its other lineups. The length and width matches my normal shoe size. Right off the bat it feels very light with little pressure on the feet to activate the shoe. It's surprisingly bouncy in general with support along the inner feet. It gives me youthful energy vibes adding to the charm when chasing after my kids on the sidewalk. There's a utility to it with its snug fit and predictable response, letting me spring into action but also pivot direction when needed. One of my new go to shoes in the top 3 as its a contender to either be my main shoe or for lively morning runs. I find it most alive on concrete surfaces, eating up the road without the punishment.
