BrooksMen's Launch 11 Running Sneakers from Finish Line

Feels like they want to go fast

Love them! Super lightweight and the perfect amount of support.

Springy

I have run and walked in a variety of Brooks styles over the years, and I have really enjoyed the Launch 11 for walking. I work on a university hospital campus and like many coworkers, I wear running shoes quite a bit of the time. The Launch 11s feel comfortable and speedy for long treks across campus. These feel better to me than the similar Launch and Ravenna styles I've had in the past. I plan on wearing these as a daily driver and saving my Adrenaline GTS and Glycerin GTS for actual runs. I think these will be good for cross training, too. The colorway I purchased is a departure for me, but I like the style - especially after many pairs of grey or blue Brooks.

Snug Fit, But Propulsive Shoe

I love how light this shoe is and the slightly firm, propulsive feel to the midsole. Glad I ordered it wide because I have wider feet and the normal width would not have worked considering how snug the wide is. Overall, probably the best lower priced running shoe.

Fast and comfortable

This is my favorite shoe from Brooks so far. Ghost 15 and Glycerin 20 were very good, but the fit and comfort for me right out of the box are much better in the Launch 11. I like the cushioning and stability without losing feel for the road. Normal workouts are from 5 to 12 miles, and these shoes hold up great at those distances. Great lightweight all around road shoe!

Disappointed

I was disappointed with these shoes as they have too much cushion and too high of a heel to drop. I wish brooks would come out with a zero drop shoe that has moderate cushion.

I have ran with several Launch shoes and these are by far the best.

More rigid feel not good for work shoes

I had a pair of the Launch 9 and really liked them so bought the Launch 11. There are several major changes: The toe and forefoot is tighter causing pressure on my big toe; there seems to be less bounce and rebound; pressure on the bottom of my heels and balls of my feet that I feel after wearing for several hours (I wear this for work and not for running); lastly, the tongue isn't as slim as the Launch 9. I felt the tightness when first trying them on and actually sized up a half size from my normal size to try to accommodate for the toe pinching. I've worn the Launch 11 for a week and they are still causing pressure points on my feet. Perhaps the benefits of the Launch 11 come out best while running but I do not recommend if you wear them for a healthcare job where you are on your feel all day.

A nice lightweight, well-cushioned shoe that serves as a nice daily training shoe. I'm a 5'11", 170 lbs. guy with a lot of miles on my legs if that helps anyone get an idea if the shoe is good for them.
