Hi Bee! The Launch GTS 9 is available in wide in colorway 060 - Black/Ebony/Purple. However, it is on closeout, so we are out of stock in most sizes.

Hi,Is GTS for pronation or supination?

Hi Sherri! Our GTS - "Go-to-Support" - models, including the Launch GTS 9 are intended for overpronation, which is when the feet and/or ankles roll inward as a person runs or walks.

Is the sole of this shoe foam or rubber material?

I used to wear Nike Pegasus for years. Then I switched to launch 9. Are the launch 9 gts better for ankle & back problems?

Hi Mel! The Launch 9 is a neutral shoe, while the Launch GTS 9 is a support shoe. The Launch GTS 9 features our GuideRails® support, which aids your feet, knees, and hips. It is recommended for people who overpronate, meaning that their feet and/or ankles roll inward as they run or walk. If you do not overpronate, we recommend staying with a neutral shoe like the Launch 9.

How do these compare to the Adrenaline 22?

Hi Bethany! The Launch GTS 9 and Adrenaline GTS 22 both feature our GuideRails® technology which adds support by keeping excess movement in check. The main difference between the two models comes in the midsole. The Adrenaline GTS 22 is in our cushion lineup and features 100% DNA LOFT cushioning for a soft, smooth ride. The Launch GTS 9 is in our speed lineup and features BioMoGo DNA cushioning for a dynamically responsive ride, as well as a Green Rubber Outsole to help your foot move quickly from heel to toe. The Launch GTS 9 will be lighter and have a slightly firmer underfoot feel as compared to the Adrenaline GTS 22.

How much of the stability/support is from the insoles? Is there any built into the actual shoe?

Hi Katie! The footbed and insoles of all of our shoes, including the Launch GTS 9, have the same arch height and arch support. Our shoe styles in our inventory are split into 2 sections, Neutral and Support. The support in running shoes is different than the support of insoles or orthotics. Our Support styles include our GuideRails technology, which supports your whole body in its natural stride while keeping excess movement in check. Insoles or orthotics give you support directly under the arch. Our sock-liners are removable so that you can input your own insole or orthotic to achieve personalized arch support.
