Light And Responsive, Just A Tad Small

I ordered these based off another review. I LOVED the Hyperion GTS 2 so much. They went on sale 2 years ago and were never restocked. Since then I’ve tried Glycerin GTS 23 - returned because they were to heavy and started causing shin splints. Ordered the Adrenaline GTS 25, these seemed a little better but not great. Then I made the decision to go ahead and try out the Launch 12 (even though they don’t come in a GTS version *disappointing the GTS line has dwindled down to nothing for the long distance runners*). The light weight shoe has been just what I’ve been looking for! My shin splints are going away. THE ONLY downfall of this shoe is, I always wear a size 8.5 - my big toe hits the end when running in the Launch 12. I’m currently training for a full marathon and will probably have to get another pair (size 9) to race is so my toes don’t end up black and blue from hitting the 26.2 miles. All in all, if you are looking for a light running shoe, these are a great option, maybe just go up a half size.

Brooks Lauch 12 Usa

I find these Brooks running shoes great for my gym workouts, and my daily running errands. They have good cushion feel, feel good on my feet and love this USA color scheme. I have some other Brooks shoes this particular style for me is comfortable others may find they need a wider width style. I have another style pair that has wider shoe box width. I typically wear a standard/med B width, size 8.5. All in all I'd recommend these sneakers.

It Was Incredible And I Will Be Buying My Running Shoes From Them For Now On.

I lost my left brook shoe hiking and brooks company sent me a new pair of shoes. They responded quick and were very kind about it. Brooks shoes are amazing and comfortable and I highly recommend these shoes. As a track and cross country runner these pair of shoes have made the best impact on my running. They last forever and are very supportive on long runs.

Summer ‘26 Launch

Supportive in all the right places! Love th patriotic color scheme. I’m on my feet for 10-12 hours a day and when I take them off, my feet are still feeling awake and happy.

Love Them

The laces are always too short for me. They were as well in the launch 11’s. Other than that I love them! 😊

Completely different fit than another “identical “ pair that I own and really enjoy. Manufactured in different countries means a different fit?

Great Replacement For The Hyperion 2

I absolutely love the Brooks Launch 12. After being disappointed with the changes made to the Hyperion 3, I was looking for a lightweight trainer that felt more like the Hyperion 2, and the Launch 12 delivered. It feels light, responsive, and comfortable without the extra softness that bothered me in the Hyperion 3. My feet and knees feel much better, and the ride is smooth and efficient for both daily runs and faster efforts. If you're a Hyperion 2 fan looking for a replacement, the Launch 12 is definitely worth trying.

Love These

I love these shoes! Wanted something for everyday workouts/walks and they are so comfortable and not to mention cute. Worth every penny

Light And Bouncy

I’m new to running and was using some regular street sneakers that I had. I was ready to quit before getting these Brooks Launch 12s. They are so light and bouncy, making running bearable.

Incredible shoe! I PR’d my mile on the first run. They are super sturdy but still light weight. Highly recommend and already planning to get another pair

Return To The Og Launch !

This version of Launch feels softer in the sole and reminds me of the first pair of Launches (I think Launch 2 maybe 12 or so years ago?). I love them. Fit is perfect and as always the cushioning is soft and flexible but I still feel connected to the ground! Great performance on both short and longer runs. Bay to Breakers coming up and looking forward to running it in them.

Amazing Running Shoes And Such Fun Colors

Loving the bright color. Very comfortable and perfect fit. Great running shoe with good traction.

Great First Impression

Loving these so far. I typically run in the Revels, the Launch provides more cushioning while still being more responsive (for me) than the Ghost. The ankles are a little narrow in circumference but I have narrow feet and usually need to cinch my laces down pretty tight.

Have always worn the Launch, but the last pair 11's - were super narrow. Normally I could put them on and go, but now i have to wear them at a time I won't be wearing them for long. Bought the new Glycerin in blue and much more comfortable for Bloomsday. Have always worn Brooks or 45 years, Thank you

Started Out Very Tight And Numbing But Getting Much Better

When I first put them on, they were tight, especially in the toe box. I have bought medium width Brooks before so I didn’t think these would be much different. I do prefer wide but these did not have that option. I have worn them 5 times, hiking an average of 6-7 miles each time. They are getting more comfortable and at least my left foot is not going numb anymore. Probably would not get another pair but I like these enough to not send back.
