Brooks Men's Launch 11 Running Shoes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this shoe and use only these for long runs. They are very supportive around the arch and ankle plus have a lot of room in in the toe box. They are also very well cushioned without feeling over soft and squishy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fit well. Especially like the extra width - as wide as they come. Necessary for my feet now. Look good, too, on an old guy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a pain in the...foot, when it comes to finding the right shoes. I wear orthotics to correct flatish arches and am 66 years old. I walk a lot, rarely sit because I'm doing something on my feet all day long and hike with my dogs about 3+ miles, at least every other day. I finally found that Brooks Cascadia 18's fit my feet for hiking perfectly. They are size 12.5 in a medium width. They are comfortably firm and snug my foot and perfectly for hiking. However, I can't wear them all day, as my feet begin to feel constricted and ache due to the snugness of the upper - what makes them great for hiking, doesn't suit me for other day-long non-hiking activities. Also, I do not run, so wasn't looking for shoes to run in. I have also tried many other shoes with no success. After reading reviews about the Brooks Launch 11, I thought I would give them a try in 12.5 and 2E width for less snugness in the upper. I was looking for a comfortable mesh/fabric upper, a sole that was soft, but not too soft, a less inclined foot position from heel to toe(8mm drop, I believe), so my foot wasn't feeling like it was always migrating forward and jambing into the front of the shoe. See, I told you, I'm a pain in the foot - a male Goldilocks without the locks. Well, I have found the perfect shoe!!! These are a perfect blend of everything mentioned above. I love these shoes!

Excellent shoes. I bought them for running but they've become an all purpose shoe, so I need to get another pair. Comfortable, durable, lightweight, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I run mostly with a mid foot strike and these shoes make for a very smooth run with an effortless feel. My runs are usually 8-10 miles mixed road/trail. At the end of the run I feel I could keep going. I am running for enjoyment and not competition and so I am not pushing my speed although a few times I have tried faster run and the shoes responded well. My only (minor) complaint is that the flat laces came undone on every run I did until I replaced then with ones with a circular cross-section.

Very comfortable. Would prefer the padding with less heel to toe drop. Responsive and good lateral support for occasional uneven areas on runs. Great balance on comfort, control and response with enough road feel to maintain control.

best version so far. love the soft tongue that stays in place. please add more colors like prior versions.

Great shoe. Very stable and lightweight. Great for daily training runs
