BrooksMen’s Launch GTS 9 Supportive Running Shoe

I’d been eyeing some higher quality running shoes over the years but as a barefoot treadmill runner, I usually don’t have the need. After getting into a race sponsored by my employer, there was no backing out and I had to get some decent shoes.Being a person who tends to over research, of course I had heard of Brooks shoe. You can’t go to any review site with seeing them rated and recommended… so with 60 days left to train, I gave in. Boy am I glad I did! While I got these at a good price, they’re still not cheap. But you can see the quality and durability in everything about these running shoes.Truly, they thought about it all… well, almost. I took out their laces and replaced them with Lock Laces. Must say, these are the finest running shoes I’ve ever owned. I’ll still run barefoot on the treadmill, because of the strength gained in other areas of the foot that shoes prevent from developing. But I’ll never run on concrete, trails or anywhere else outdoors without Brooks shoes. They provide excellent comfort, proper arch support, have no interior seams, loose threads or areas that cause pain of any kind. I’ve probably got over 50 miles on them already and it’s still hard to tell they’re not brand new. Fantastic running shoes that totally live up to the hype.

This is a great shoe!! I am not a runner, but do well in these. They are comfortable and supportive and after having them for a while now, they are still holding up to their daily use. I do more walking than running, but the supportive nature of the shoe helps keep my foot comfortable.The color is good and holding up well. They other great thing about them is even after all this time they tread is still in good shape. I went ahead and bought a 2nd pair of Brooks because these have been so useful!

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.

These are pretty trendy shoes. They look very nice! Mine were a little too narrow, and that is to be expected because online shopping for shoes is always going to be hard. Overall though I think they would make a great shoes for someone with a different shaped foot than mine. Very lightweight and seemed pretty comfortable (if the fit was better for my feet)

Well worth the money. I'm a delivery driver and I use these shoes for work, do A LOT of walking. They've outperformed the last pair of Adidas I owned. The soles are starting to show wear after a year. The inner soles still look great! And the butter shell of the shoe is holding up well. They're still as comfortable as when I bought them. I'll have to buy another pair of these in the future for sure!

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 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.

The media could not be loaded. Brooks es garantía. Su calzado es muy bueno: cómodo y durable, fabricado para el alto rendimiento y para personas que necesitan un soporte extra (pronación, supinación y piel plano) y en sus tenis. La única aclaración para los compradores es que los tenis brooks vienen reducidos. Les recomiendo pedir medio número extra al habitual. Si usan plantillas ortopédicas entonces pidan un número mayor del que usualmente usan.

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

My feet smell bad when I use it!😭

Shoes are really good and comfortable

The fit was perfect. Comfortable and very light, barely know they are on! I use them for 5km path running is my main use. My feet feel good afterwards (and my knees hurt less than with cheaper trainers) so I think the extra cost is worth it. No problems with the quality.
