Launch GTS 10

Were you wearing the Brooks Launch GTS? Very different to just the Brooks Launch. In terms of the GTS version, the other Brooks shoes with similar support are Adrenaline GTS and Glycerin GTS, but they both fit differently. There was also the Hyperion GTS that has been discontinued, but I believe they were fairly similar fit to the Launch GTS and it's possible to find pairs still on sale in some sizes. As someone else has mentioned, New Balance 860 could also be a good option, they tend to run narrower than the Brooks Adrenalines. Asics also run narrow and have a few stability options.

Pretty much any shoe will be fine for race day. Remember carbon/pebax shoes are a really new innovation, and for years people ran very well and very fast in shoes which today lots would sneer at. I stick to non carbon shoes all the time, mainly because I don't want to achieve a PB due to tech, I want to achieve it in shoes similar to the ones I set my PBs in up to 10 years ago. Brooks Ravenna were my PB shoes (3:08), since then it's been Launch GTS. Over a distance they are comfortable, feel quick enough to me and I like them!!

Money no object, then fine. But equally there's nothing wrong in having a pretty all purpose shoe like a Peg or Brooks Launch and just do all of your running in that. Shoe rotations of the extremes we see today might be slightly better, but it's all pretty marginal stuff.

Hi -- for years, my everyday shoe was the Brooks Launch (I had at least one pair of every iteration from 4-10), and I liked the Hyperion Tempo as my race shoe. The Tempo has been discontinued, and I hate the Brooks Launch 11s. The toe box seems narrow, and while they were fine for shorter runs, the first time I took them over 20 miles, I ended up with a black toenail. :( Also, the heel is wearing down quicker than previous iterations. After the bad experience with the 11s, I haven't tried the 12s. In the past, I've tried the Brooks Ghost, but those felt huge on my feet. I didn't care much for them either, but they didn't hurt. My trail runner is currently the Brooks Cascadia 16, which I love. Any suggestions? I've had good luck with Brooks in the past, but I'm willing to try other brands. Usage: Training for marathon+ (first 50k approaching), mostly on road and treadmill Feet: My feet are wider, and I think I have a normal foot strike. I have struggled with plantar fasciitis in the past, and got a stress fracture in my right foot last year (although I believe this was due to a hiking incident, not running). Feel: I \*think\* I like a firmer shoe, but I'm open to suggestions. Budget: Any

You might want to look at hyrox type shoes. Personally I’ve liked the brooks launch for gym + cardio. They’re pretty firm and stable so unless I’m really lifting heavy I don’t have any issues.

Brooks Launch. Not just cheap (relatively) but legitimately good shoes.

Asics Novablast 5 might work for you. From personal experience, the Brooks Launch were also my go-tos until they did something weird with the formula adding gel or whatnot. Brooks Ghost 14 gave me stress fracture like pain almost immediately. So far, the Novablast lineup has been my go-to.
