Be Careful of Size
Books unexpectedly has changed their sizing on this shoe and the size I have worn for decades wouldn't even' go on my foot due to their slim width. I had to return them

horrible shoe laces with good shoes.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hated the colors of all the other shoes I normally went for so I started with these this summer. The shoe laces do NOT stay tied. I've had Brooks for many years (Glycerin) but these ones just don't stay tied. I go to the gym and walk around the neighborhood and the inside fabric has started to become run down and opening so I don't love that because I don't feel like I do anything crazy in them. But overall a good shoe. I like the more narrow toe box as I'm a woman and wear men's shoes so it's nice not to look like clown shoes.

Great shoe!
I am so happy that Brooks made this shoe! It’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s lightweight and has just the right amount of cushion and foam while still feeing connected to the ground. Thank you, Brooks!

Another Great Shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Love my new Launch 12 running shoe. It looks great but feels even greater. I've been a Brooks fan for years because they consistently produce a fashionable top-quality product I also walk close to 10,000 steps every day and require a top-quality shoe and Brooks delivers.. Sadly, even good shoes wear out, but when they do, I'll add another Brooks to my shoe rack.
