BrooksMen’s Launch GTS 9 Supportive Running Shoe

I own 3 different pairs of Brooks. I have the Levitate, the Adrenaline, and now the GTS. Each of these require a break-in period of about three days. I believe that it is not the shoe that needs breaking-in but the feet. I think that the support is contoured in a way that my feet are adjusting to the supportive quality. Once the break-in is done, though, it is an unbelievable fit and feel. These GTS shoes are really nice and different than the other pairs. For one, I like how the laces can be fitted through the loop on the tongue. Very nice to just slip these on and the tongue stays in place. They are not as springy as the Levitate but still has great running take-off. Like I said, each shoe is different in a slight way, depending upon what you are wanting to do. The GTS probably are great for trails and general speed. The Adrenaline are very superior for road running (you hardly feel the road under your feet). The levitate are so springy that I might just use them to walk long distance or road running short distances.

I walk 4-5 miles on paved sidewalk 7 days a week for health, weight lift 3-4 nights a week. Generally extremely active. I have been using Brooks Neutral running shoes, this is my first pair of supportive.I’m in Florida and it’s hot and always humid, these shoes breathe very well, it’s my third pair of Launch GTS9!The sole is rigid but flexible to the ball, where the neutral is very flexible. More arch support as well. The insoles are also a little thicker on these as well. All things I really like.I have a plantar fascia in one foot, been years of no issue. These shoes add more support that I didn’t really realize I could use. (Actually felt surgically better)Generally they feel very supportive and I have a more firm and confident step.Also, I wear a 13 in all well made shoes and Brooks are spot on as far as sizing.It sounds silt to say, but the Brooks GTS9 SUPPORTIVE might be the best pair of shoes I’ve owned to date so far in my life.

My fiancé had issues with his knee and plantar fasciitis acting up when he was running in his other Brooks. He got these for Fathers Day and has been able to comfortably run every other day without pain because they are much more light and the arch gives support where it should. He will be getting another pair for Christmas!

Bought these as I have bursitis in both feet and podiatrist recommended Brooks running shoes. I have worn Asisc's since the 80's so was a bit skeptical. These shoes are great, took a lot of the pressure off front of foot and very comfortable. Took a bit to get used too - heels hurt a bit as the pressure relief on front of foot had to go somewhere, but now all ok. I wear a 12 and bought same, not too tight, not too loose.

I only wear brooks shoes so its easy for me to reorder. The shoes in the size I usually get were sold out so I got these and really like them HOWEVER what you need to know about these is they run a bit narrower than others. I wear a size 10 and probably would have been better in a 10½ but I kept them cause I really needed them and stretched them with a shoe stretcher for width. If you wear size 'whatever' order a ½ size larger to allow for the narrowness. Love Brooks but these do run narrower than the adrenalines they sell. Hope this helps!!

First time with Launch. Usually an Adrenaline user. Very happy with the support. Seems a bit lighter as well. Highly recommend all Brooks.

This put a spring to your step with a nice thick heal. Also the black and grey really pops. I wear a size 9 size and this shoe is true to size.

I could use this in a wide. But the support is good. I wanted a different pair of shoes not for work. These will do fine. Overall I'm satisfied enough not to send them back

Segue la tradizione delle Ravenna gts e dei modelli precedenti di Launch gts:scarpa leggera con sistema antipronazione.Personalmente la uso pur non essendo un corridore veloce;il fatto di fare molte salite e pochi km rende infatti l'utilizzo della Adrenaline gts eccessivo,inoltre le Launch le posso usare più agevolmente per camminare quando i km fatti le rendono non piu utilizzabili per la corsa.Resta il fatto che se uno cerca una vera scarpa antipronazione dovrebbe orientarsi su l'Adrenaline gts.La Launch gts resta comunque un ottimo compromesso

Bastante ligeros, buena ventilación, cuando los usé por primera vez, iba caminando y sentía un poco dura la suela, pero cuando empecé a trotar, sentí un cambio en los tenis.Me agrado bastante el amortiguamiento de la suela, cuando empiezas a correr o trotar, se siente más suave, no tan suave como unos Nike pegasus trail, que también uso, pero firme y confortable.Siento que el material exterior del zapato es menos resistente que mis New Balance Nitrel, pero estos Brooks son más cómodos.Y definitivamente mejores que mis Puma Twitch runner trail.Me quedó un poco grande, hubiera pedido medio número menor (soy 26 mx, 8 us), pero ya no quise devolverlos :P

leichter Schuh, läuft sich angenehm, sitzt auch bei schmalem Fuß

I'm a keen runner but have plantar fasciitis at the moment, and these have allowed me to start running again. Super comfortable and springy, and they look gorgeous

J'ai mis du temps avant de trouver une paire de baskets. Je fais de la marche rapide et franchement elles sont supers, de vrais chaussonsJ'espère qu'elles tiendront dans le temps mais je les conseille vivement
