Brooks Launch 12 Women's review: what runners say

Fit
Narrow, tapered fit: works for correspondingly shaped feet but excludes wider forefeet. Heel hold is secure.
Feel
DNA Flash 2 + traditional EVA blend cushioning: fuller, more underfoot feel than Flash 2 alone. Reactive forefoot, stable ride for neutral runners.
Best for
Neutral runners looking for a lightweight trainer for daily mileage, gym use, or sustained paces. Suits those who reject contemporary max-stack builds.
Weak points
Narrow fit flagged as a structural limitation for wide feet. Stiff heel collar can irritate the Achilles tendon. Slight weight increase over the previous version.
