Snagged a pair of Launch 4’s from the Running Room’s online store during Boxing Week sales. I don’t need new shoes *yet*, but when your favourite shoe has been discontinued for 2 years… you stockpile 😳 Got these puppies for $80 CAD! That’s a pittance for any of my American followers!!
I wanna love the Launch 5 because aesthetically, it’s a big upgrade from the 4, but at this point I’m still not sold. I have about 80km’s on my 5’s and they still feel weird to me. No matter how tight I tie the laces, my foot slips around on the midsole, and toward the end of my long run on the weekend the balls of my feet were a little sore, which has never happened to me before. It makes no sense because supposedly Brooks only changed the upper… but that is what I feel. Anyone else have opinions? Would love to hear from someone who’s tried the Launch 6!
