Launch

Renata says: The Brooks Launch feels more supportive to me than the Saucony Kinvara. I like this shoe for a neutral, lightweight shoe, but without going all the way to a minimalist, or natural running shoe like the Kinvara. The Hydroflow cushioning in the heel feels pretty cushy, and the upper mesh is really light, airy, and breathable. I have a narrow foot, so out of all the Brooks shoes we carry, this one fits me the best. I did have to go up a half a size in the Brooks shoes compared to other running shoes.

SUPPORT:

• The Launch is a neutral, lightweight shoe for racing, tempo training and speed work.
• The semi-curved last (the shape of the sole) is best for medium to high arches.
• The upper is updated with synthetic overlay materials to keep the Air Mesh upper and foot more secure.

COMFORT:

• The full length BioMoGo foam midsole is comfortable underfoot and biodegrades in just 20 years.
• Hydroflow in the heel reduces shock, particularly for runners who tend to be heel strikers.
• A full length S-257 Cushsoleinsole board provides cushioning and flex at every step.
• An air mesh upper offers maximum ventilation keeping your feet cool and dry.

DURABILITY:

• The outsole on the heel, midfoot and forefoot is HPR Plus rubber for higher durability and abrasion resistance.
• The blown rubber on the outer edge of the outsole of the forefoot (low wear area) reduces the weight of the shoe without sacrificing durability.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• 22mm heel, 10mm forefoot = 12mm drop
• weight: 9.3 oz in women's size 7
