These are nice snappy shoe. They do not have a lot of support for a heavier runner, but I primarily use these as walking shoes. As a teacher I am on my feet all day and these have great colorways to look nice with casual clothing. If I ever forget my primary running shoes, then these still do a great jo of getting the job done. They are a great shoe to add to a shoe rotation if you want to test having a speed shoe in the mix.

These are my second pair of the launch 8 and I love them as much as the first. I get a min of 10 miles a day in them and the first pair lasted 6 months so I am very excited to start working on these. Very comfortable and last much longer than any other shoe I have purchased in the past. My first pair is still comfortable, just needed to upgrade because I have worn the traction down as to be expected.

I?ve taken these shoes on 17 mile long runs and used them for speed sessions. They?re just the right weight and responsiveness for any of your needs. An added bonus is that they?re super durable. I usually only get 400mi out of any given pair of shoes because I supinate, but these ones still feel solid almost 500mi in.

I’m a Brooks lover. What can I say? These fit like a glove ( although I order 1 size up ) and I can wear them all day without my feet getting tired. I’m an older guy so balance is important to me. I feel very supported and steady in these shoes. The only thing I don’t like are the flat laces. But for $99 these shoes are worth it!

Love the fit, colors everything. Unfortunately I had to select a ?mens? style and size the only colors you had for ?women? we every shade of pink or purple. C?mon now. We need a bigger palette than that when we?re logging our miles.

I liked them so much that I bought 2 pairs. Great value for the money, very comfy and a good all around daily shoe. Fits true to size and has ample room in the toe box. They may now be great for those with skinny feet though.

I will say that I have fat flat feet and finding a comfortable pair of shoes has been nothing short of a major challenge. I've only gone on two runs with them but they are very comfortable. I did order a EE to accommodate for my fat feet.

After years of decline, Brooks has made this model great again. Launch 8 is the most comfortable of this model since the Launch 2. I was about ready to give up on the Launch series after 5, 6, and 7. Launch 8 has won me back. Thank you Brooks for not abandoning the Launch series to utter ruin, please keep this in mind when you put out the Launch 9.

I like Brooks. Back when my feet were good everything would have fit perfectly but now I use orthotics and the fit is not quite there. Like I said I like Brooks and I believe they make the best shoe out there.

Heavier athletes!!! Decent shoe, it does what it?s advertised to do, however if you?re above 6?2 235 like I am and run distance and springs regularly, this shoe does not provide the support needed, my knee pain has gotten worse and so has my shin pain. So far I loved the brooks adrenaline, they offered great support. These shoes are perfect for speed workouts, but anything over a half mile, and personally, I didn?t enjoy them as well as I did other brooks shoes.

I bought the launch 7s last year after wanting a faster shoe. I used to swear by the adrenaline series. My first run I took a minute off my first mile and continued to crush my runs. I log about 30-40 miles a month. These kept up to 400 miles and now I'm going to get the launch 8s and look to continue the performance. The only thing I can slightly complain about is the inner heal padding really wears out fast and I've had to use cushioned bandaids to cover the padding in the heal.

Used these as my everyday trainers for about half a year. Logging at least 30-40 miles on them a week in my rotation. And they seriously became the shoe I gravitate towards in my line up. I have max stack heights shoes but these shoes just feel so soft for the lower stack. And the upper seemed to fit my foot perfectly. Have the Chevron Limited Collection pair and have been considered try to find another pair in my size since mine are starting to get holes and lose most of their tread. Probably got about 500 miles out of mine! Seriously worth the money if you?re on the fence.
