4th Pair Of Launch

Love the Launch series of Brooks, not only do these feel comfortable, but got so many compliments on the USA design. (You should do more!) I have several different styles, I use them for walking and pickleball. Would recommend.

Love The Usa Colors, Runs Narrow In Toebox

I was looking for something like my Hyperion GTS 2, since that is no longer an option, and these seemed most similar. I prefer a shoe without a lot of bulk and I love the USA colors! Like other reviews, they run a bit narrow and the toebox isn't very roomy. They aren't quite as breathable either. Overall I love the look of this shoe - Will wear them for everyday errands etc but not for all day wear or longer runs.

Love These!

Love these! They might be my new favorite. They are light weight and feel great. I heard they run a little small, so I got a half size larger than I usually wear and they fit great.

These Brooks are absolutely beautiful and they are very comfortable as well. This is my favorite Brooks that I have ever gotten. I love the colors!

Good Shoe. Not Great For A Slightly Wider Foot.

Great shoe if you like a lightweight, moderately cushioned daily trainer. Narrower fit to it, especially in the toe box. True to size. Fun color!

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.
