Product FAQs

WHAT IS THE BROOKS LAUNCH 11 BEST USED FOR?

The Launch 11 is best suited for runners who want a lightweight daily trainer capable of handling both everyday mileage and faster workouts.

HOW DOES THE LAUNCH 11 COMPARE TO THE BROOKS GHOST?

The Launch 11 is lighter and more speed-focused, while the Ghost provides a softer, more cushioned ride designed for comfort during longer, easy-paced runs.

IS THE LAUNCH 11 GOOD FOR TEMPO RUNS AND SPEED WORK?

Yes. Its responsive cushioning and lightweight design make it a strong choice for tempo runs, intervals, and other faster training sessions.

DOES THE LAUNCH 11 FIT TRUE TO SIZE?

Most runners report that the Launch 11 fits true to size, offering a secure, performance-oriented fit.

IS THE LAUNCH 11 SUITABLE FOR LONG RUNS?

It can handle longer distances, but runners seeking maximum cushioning for extended runs may prefer a more plush trainer like the Brooks Glycerin.

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO MAKE SURE IT FITS COMFORTABLY?

Measure your feet at the end of the day when they’re at their largest. Leave about a thumb’s width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe, and ensure the heel feels snug without slipping. Trying the shoes with your usual running socks will help ensure the best fit.
