I bought these for my husband one year and he loved them so much I started noticing he was hand washing his old pair. I had to get him another but Brooks discontinued selling this particular model. Thanks to this seller, my husband has a newer pair of his old favorite shoes. And, the shipping only took 2-days versus other sellers, including Amazon itself. I would definitely purchase from this seller again.SO, I didn't notice when I ordered these that the shoes were colored to be exact opposite of each other. When they arrived, I was a little confused but as I laced them up and whatever, I discovered how SICK this shoes really are. They are AWESOME. They are essentially an American flag expressed through shoe design. There are stars on the red side Brooks logo and stripes on the blue side Brooks logo. They are SO comfortable and the colors are just fantastic. They thought of every detail. The laces are one blue, one red. Everyone I show them off to say, dude...those are awesome. I was NOT paid to write this review and straight up...comfortable, good for walking, good for running, lightweight and they look awesome. Only ONE thing, the white gets scuffed up easily, but sneaker cleaner can fix that.So I bought these shoes because they were on sale and I'm glad I did. I had just purchased brooks ghost 13 and absolutely love these shoes and was scared to buy a different model. These shoes actually turned out pretty comfy. They aren't as good as ghost 13 but very close. I just did dead lifts and squats in these shoes and found they gave great support and kept my feet nicely planted. Over all very glad I purchased them.Wow- these shoes are so comfortable. I am a teacher/coach - I was struggling to find school color shoes (I only buy nikes or under armour), but I was able to find these brooks with green/gold. Seems like the variety of shoes online right now are slim. I think when you look to buy a good brand named pair of shoes, you are looking at at least $100… these are Def worth it. They are sporty looking, fit to size. Even the laces on the ones I ordered are super cool. I’ve been seeing people wear this shoe lately, now I know why! Good buy.The launch 7 shoe fit very well. And the shoe was very light weight. Heel cushion was pretty good but the front cushion needed a bit more cushion. After an hour of jogging and walking the front of my feet were a bit sore but not unbearable. Overall it was a good shoes and only paid $49. The best running shoe I ever had for the price.There was a version of the Launch line (I think previous to this) that got away from what I loved about them. They were bulky and boxy, and they didn’t really even look like Launches, the simple but stylish and light with the right drop for me. These are back to what made them my favorite running shoes, although they are just a little stiffer, which wasn’t an issue for me. The price on Amazon was better than any running store I went to. I really love these shoes. Just a note: I’m a size 12 with a slightly narrow foot (actually, now that I think about it, BOTH of my feet are narrow), and they fit perfectly.This shoe is very comfortable and performs well on dry pavement. You may need a pair of something else for wet surfaces, as these tend to lose their grip.Fits as expected. Very comfortable. The only problem I have is the shoes squeak with every step I take. AnnoyingCon la settima versione delle Brooks Launch 7, l'azienda di Seattle non ha fondamentalmente cambiato nulla della filosofia che ha ispirato questo modello. Ossia: una scarpa reattiva, veloce. Al tempo stesso le Launch 7 non si presentano estreme e mantengono una buona ammortizzazione. Infine, le Launch 7 sono abbastanza protettive da poter essere usata per alti chilometraggi, nonostante i loro 255 grammi di peso nel modello 9.?UTILIZZO E BENEFICI?Questo modello di Brooks è considerato come "speed", quindi sono suggerite solamente per podisti dal peso ottimizzato, con una buona esperienza di corsa. Per questa categoria di podisti, le Launch 7 sono scarpe da corsa per lavori di qualità a passi medio-veloci e per gare medio lunghe. A livello di calzata, sono comode come tutte le Brooks e la numerazione non differisce con gli altri modelli. Hanno davvero ottime caratteristiche che le distinguono dagli altri modelli: tomaia comoda, conchiglia del tallone rigida ed avvolgente, lacci molto elasticizzati, confort unico.?PRO:?? ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, soprattutto in alcune colorazioni (io ho preso quelle rosse).? consente di correre a tutte le velocità, anche se eccelle sicuramente sui medi e sulle ripetute? offre una protezione unica, nonostante la scarpa pesi solamente 255 grammi nella versione 42.5 EU, ossia 9 US?tomaia confortevole in mesh a singolo strato dal design assolutamente elegante?grip del battistrada eccellente, anche in condizioni sfavorevoli?CONTRO:??scarpa adatta solamente a chi ha un peso inferiore ai 73kg, oltre il quale suggerisco di passare alle Ghost 13.Nice and light. I have a pair of Brooks ghost which are definitely more comfortable. Think I'd do a faster time in the ghost too. Maybe that's just me as I think the launch are supposed to be 'faster'. Size was fine. No issues thereBought for my wife to get some jogging in for fitness.She is happy with them although it's early days yetI would have liked more cushioning personally, but okay for the price.Very comfortable for run and everything.
