Brooks Launch 12

Brooks Launch 12 review: what runners say

Fit

Narrow, tapered fit: works for narrow feet, problematic for wide-footed runners. The stiff heel collar can irritate the Achilles tendon.

Feel

Hybrid DNA Flash 2 + traditional EVA midsole: more cushioned and softer than the Hyperion, less responsive. Reactive forefoot, natural and flexible ride.

Best for

Light daily training, gym sessions, road running at moderate pace. Suited for runners looking for a fast shoe without racing intent; budget-friendly alternative to the Hyperion.

Weak points

Narrow fit penalizes runners with wide or medium-wide feet. The stiff heel collar causes Achilles tendon irritation in some runners.
