Just every day. I can only wear Brooks due to collapsed foot.Love the look of these & fit is good but after wearing these for less than a week, part of the tred on bottom is already peeling. I guess I’ll try to super glue it back down.I am disappointed in the quality.I've probably bought a dozen of Brooks tennis shoes. I've had multiple foot surgeries and they make my feet feel the BEST. This pair did not disappoint. I highly recommend Brooks!Great for walking around the city and taking country runs.I run 3 marathons and at least 1 half marathon a year. So, I go through at least 5-7 pairs of running shoes each year. Launch (4,5 and now 6) have all been a great value for me. This version is a bit less structured in the toe box, but not as soft as the Anthem I also wear for training. I plan to wear this Launch 6 for the Carlsbad Marathon in January. I wore the last pair of Launch 5 in the Chicago marathon 2019. So, if you want a great training shoe, or a great marathon shoe, I recommend these ( i am 5'2" and weight 98 pounds) and I wear orthotics. Now, I wear a size 6 in street shoes, so I bought these in a size 7 1/2 and they are perfect. The Anthem, also Brooks, I wear a size 8 because they are a neutral shoe.Heel slippage. Seems like they removed the cushy rear ankle part that sort of acted like memory foam around the back of the ankle. Or maybe the back was shorter. Would maybe be fine after the bottom cushion went down a bit but why chance it. Got some 5s off eBay and they are good. The 5s and 6s tout enhanced breat ability which is a joke as they have more layers (foot liner) and foam “blanket” over the forefoot.That said I have stayed in the Launch series for years after my previous runner became a stability shoe. The Launch is good for a neutral runner (not pronating) with normal/ thinner foot and higher arches. Has decent cushion too.You need to research your shoe because many are stability shoes that can throw out your hips/ back/ knees if it’s over-correcting.I typically buy two pairs of the Launch 6 to wear on alternating days (per doctor's orders). Initially, I would buy in-store, but switched to online during the pandemic. They were always true to size and style. I didn't realize how much so until I couldn't find them the next time I went to order, and I resorted to ordering a Launch 7 style. I figured, how different could they be. A lot, it turns out. From now on, I will ONLY order the Launch 6.I needed new shoes quickly.I have a lot of miles on my brooks cadence and I started with plantars fasciitis in my left foot.I bought these because I needed a quick solution and the price was right as new shoes weren’t in my budget at the moment.My plantars pain began to subside about 24 hours into wearing them to run.However, they come up a bit high on my inside ankle and it has created pain in my ankle if I make any side to side movement like a side lunge to stretch.They aren’t as sleek and comfortable as my cadence - in fact they are a bit on the clunky side - but for now they work.Decent trainers, feel comfortable and less calf and ankle pain than I normally get while running. In trainers I always order half a size up and did so here and the fit is great.One small negative in that the laces are very short! I could barely tie a pathetic double bow so will have to purchase longer laces which you shouldn’t have to do with a decent trainer.Otherwise pleased with them.Prompt delivery. Very comfortable.Love these trainers comfortable and covering good miles with themGreat product & a fantastic priceLove these running shoes! Great fit, very comfortable, great price. Very good delivery as well.
