BrooksWomen's Launch 11 Running Sneakers from Finish Line

More narrow, no arch support, caused internal foot pain

Launch is my shoe. In the past, I could order them size 8 same as always, slide my foot right in and it felt like it was made for me. These new ones feel like they have no arch support, though whatsoever, and though they didn’t feel super comfortable at first I thought maybe they needed breaking in, so I wore them for a few hours today not running in them, but just Walking around, and my foot felt cramped, and even started to feel like it was going numb because the shoe was maybe too narrow? I don’t know. I’ll wear them again and see if they get better. If not, I’ll have to send them back. I’m afraid.

Supportive shoe

Good supportive shoe, fits well, like the colors, can be hard on the toes if you put pressure there.

Love the Launch 11s

I love these Launch 11s! They are super comfortable and have great support for your feet! I am having some issues with my Achilles tendon right now and these shoes have been so great at helping to keep my foot supported in all the right ways.

Too narrow

Run narrow. Even after shortening the laces until just enough remained to tie, they were still too tight.

Great shoe!

I was looking for a shoe that fitted like the Hyperion 2, but for everyday runs (I use my Hyperion 2 shoes for races). The Launch 11 is that shoe! A little more narrow and snug in fit at first, but fits perfectly after running in them a couple of times and wearing them out. I also love the lower heel to forefoot drop of 8mm compared to many other shoe varieties.

Have been running in Launch for many years and versions. Very good shoe to run in. This version is slightly smaller than previous ones so size up. Wore them for a half marathon and feet felt great the whole race.

Great comfortable running shoe

I have been in search of a new running shoe. I typically like both the Revel and Launch. What drew me to the Launch is the thickness of the sole and how lightweight they are. They also run true to size, an 8 would fit me just right, but for running I use an 8.5 to allow room for my toes. I really like how much cushion they provide to my whole foot, very comfortable. Highly recommend!

These are very different than previous versions

These are very different than previous versions of this shoe. I've been wearing these for years and sadly, I had to return these. Usually, they're perfect right out of the box. They used to feel soft and like they form to your feet. These do not. I still tried to give them a chance but they rubbed the top of my foot and around my ankles raw after only a few hours of wearing them around my house. I also had to go up 1/2 size from previous versions.
