Brooks Launch 12 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.
