Excelent shoes!!!! I love it

My ten year old loves the sneaker. Feels great and shoelaces are easy to tie and untie. They're well made and can handle city life.

Sorely disappointed. It is too small in the sleeves and the bottom.

Great jacket. Very warm and stylish. I think the price is wonderful. I plan to wear the jacket as much as possible.

Fit very comfortably.

Here's what you should know about me: I am not an experienced marathon runner and this is the first pair of *real* running shoes I have ever purchased. I am a 3-miles-every-morning-with-my-dog runner (so maybe more of a jogger?) but I deal with hip, knee and shin pain, so I decided it was time to invest in some *real* running shoes instead of using whatever BOGO Payless sale athletic shoes I happen to have at the moment. A couple of my initial observations about *real* running shoes during my research were:

A) 90% of *real* running shoes are completely and totally HIDEOUS both in color scheme and design. Can someone explain this to me!? It feels like a joke or something.

B) *Real* running shoes ain't cheap!

I have a friend who runs the Wasatch 100 every year (yes, that's 100 miles without stopping) and he told me that you get what you pay for with running shoes and that "quality is remembered when price is forgotten". He recommended the brand Brooks to me so I thought I'd start there. If they're good enough for someone who runs as much as he does, they're definitely going to be good enough for my 3-5 mile neighborhood jogs every morning! After reading reviews on multiple sites, I decided to try out the Launch 4's and to size up. I'm glad I did size up. I normally wear 8-8.5 depending on the style and bought size 9 in these. Overall they fit really well! There is a little extra room in the toe, but when they're laced up I don't notice it at all, so I decided to keep them rather than try 8.5. They feel great everywhere else. I've dealt with bunions before and have a little wider than average foot and these have plenty of room in the toe box and sides while still being snug on my foot. I have very high arches and these feel very supportive.

These aren't the lightest shoes I've ever worn but they are still very light weight. I can see why some reviewers call them a bit bulky but honestly that can only be in comparison to a much smaller and lighter shoe because I would say there isn't anything heavy or bulky about them. They feel substantial without being heavy or bulky in my opinion.

As ugly running shoes go, I think these are actually really decent looking! They come in every color scheme imaginable which I love. I bought the anthracite/beach glass/silver ones and I find them to be a nice neutral shoe (with a pop of color) that can go with any of my active wear, unlike many of the shoes I saw in my search.

I often run through freshly sprinkled grass with my dog and don't have to worry about my feet getting wet or the water affecting the shoes adversely.

One of my favorite things about this shoe so far has been the ZERO break in period. I mean NONE!! I went for a 3 mile run straight out of the box (and every morning since - so I've probably put 20 miles on them by now) and have had NO PAIN! No foot pain, no blisters, no hot spots, no knee, hip, ankle or shin pain. NONE WHATSOEVER!! If that's the only thing these shoes do for me then they're worth it! They are very very comfortable. I wouldn't go so far as to say they're like walking on a cloud as some reviewers did. I would say they're firm yet soft and supple and very comfortable for a running shoe. I don't think they're super reactive though. For being named "Launch" I expected a little bit more of a spring in my step so-to-speak. Honestly, I didn't notice much additional reaction in these over my cheaper non-name brand athletic shoes. Admittedly I was a little disappointed by that.

These are a VERY high quality shoe and seem extremely well made in every respect from the laces to the tread and everything in between. I love feeling like I get what I pay for in terms of quality and feeling like these are going to last me a long time.

All in all, so far I am very happy with these shoes for my every day light morning runs! They are comfortable, supportive, well made, nice looking and easy to run in! Best of all, I have had NO PAIN AT ALL since switching to these shoes which is a small miracle. While I can't compare to other name brands, I can tell you that they have made a difference for me and I'm glad I bought them! Hope this helps someone else! I did NOT receive these for free or at a discount by the way. I paid $100 for them!!

I struggled with deciding how to rate this product for a few different reasons. I'll start with what I love about these shoes.
1. I love the color variety
2. Very comfortable and provides great arch support
3. They aren't too tight around the toes or ankles
I got the purple and silver outlined ones, the colors go great together and are vibrant enough to not be boring or overwhelming.
These shoes provide the right amount of arch support I need for my medium arches and my heels. The material allows for enough movement so that your feet aren't feeling stiff or experiencing limited motion in the shoe while running, walking, or cycling.
There's enough space for your toes to wiggle so they dont lose circulation and so far I haven't experience any rubbing od the show against the back of my heels. (I also wear altheletic socks with heel tabs so this is probably a big factor here)

My biggest issue with these shoes is that they provide zero support when the ground is wet. I'm constant slipping and almost falling when I wear these and walk across tile and laminate floors. In all honesty if I had know these had zero slip resistance I would've gone with a different shoe because in my current budget 50-60 dollars is a lot to spend on shoes that I'll end up hurting myself in.

So all in all these shoes very pretty and provide good arch and heel support. They are made with good materials but they aren't slip resistant whatsoever. If youre okay with slippery shoes that are very cute then go for it. If youre like me and want some sort of slip resistance with your running shoe I recommend doing some research on shoes with better slip resistance especially since these are on the expensive side.

My daughter goes through a pair of these each year. They are hard to find in her size unless I purchase them at one of her competitions. If I do that, I am going to spend 10% more than the Amazon price. These shoes are not very durable but I think that is by design. The shoes are meant to be lightweight, almost like a ballet slipper. Keeping that in mind, my goal is simply to get a good price when I purchase the shoes and to avoid going to a series of sporting good retailers in hopes of finding that one store that even sells the shoes - let alone one that sells them and has her size in stock. I save myself the trouble now, I just order them from Amazon Prime and they arrive in two days.

This is my favorite jacket. Keeps me dry and I feel like it blocks some wind for how light it is. I have ordered two now and will again in the future I'm sure. Great great jacket and very cute on

Very comfortable
