BrooksMen's Launch 11 Running Sneakers from Finish Line

Great shoe for the proper foot

I’m not a runner, so I need comfortable shoes to stand for 7-8 hours a day at work. The Launch is very lightweight, with good cushioning in the heel, but the D width toe box is quite narrow. My toes feel squished and don’t have much room to move. After the first 2 or 3 days wearing them, my feet are quite sore. If you have narrow feet, they’re perfect. If not, then…

The shoe is fantastic. The design (or look) is meh and the color scheme available for the 2e’s is horrible. I actually tried two other Brooks sneakers (didn’t work out for my feet) before going to these because these are a great fit for me.

Another Great Launch!

I’ve been running almost exclusively in the Launch since the 2. My hands down favorite shoe, it’s always light and nimble with just enough cushion and stability. I typically run 20-25 miles a week, a few shorter runs during the week and a long run (10-12 miles) on the weekend. I was a little hesitant at first as it felt like there was more cushion than previous versions but after a few weeks I’ve settled into them and they are all I’d expect from a Launch. I have a pretty long and narrow foot and have found these to be a perfect fit with just the right amount of room in the toe box.

The shoe description is accurate. I’m getting back into running. I hadn’t run since the pandemic. I wanted a shoe that would be lightweight & would help propel me to the next step. The Launch 11 has done exactly that! My BFF and I have a run scheduled every month this year!

Nice looking shoe, but the toe box is snug in the width. My toes get a little squished. Not sure these will be in the rotation or not. Cushioning seems very nice and the 8mm drop is perfect. Laces seems just a tad short.

Incredibly comfortable, disappointingly un-durable

Let me start by saying that I love the Launch. I’ve been wearing them since the Launch 2, and have almost never had issues with durability despite putting hundreds of miles on each pair. However, in this iteration, the insides near the heel are already showing substantial deterioration despite having only roughly 100 miles on them. The fabric is pilling and straight up just rubbing off. Despite this, the shoe is incredibly comfortable, springy, and exactly what I have come to expect with the Launch- the sole exception is the durability of the inside of the shoe.

Great running shoe

I rotate a few pairs of running shoes, one of which is the Launch 11. I really like the shoe. It feels nice and springy without having too much cushioning. My forefoot is a bit wide, but the Launch 11 has plenty of room but also with a snug heel cup. I will get another pair before they change them.

Love the look and comfort of these shoes.

These shoes are fantastic and comfortable like all of my Brooks are. I have gone solely to brooks with there DNA technology soles. I've honestly never experience anything that fit my feet and support them so well. I cannot speak highly enough of them, they're that good.
