These shoes are colorful & fun but they cut into my lateral ankle. I kept them anyway hoping they will soften there eventually.

Shoe fits fine, but quality of shoe is not good after only a couple of days wearing there are already signs of wear on the back of the shoe. Very noticeable and cheap quality construction I would have expected better quality for the price we paid. Please see photo attached.

I've been very happy with my first few runs with these shoes. They feel light but very well supported and the cushioning is really comfortable. All good so far!

Fits a lot differently than previous Launches - pretty dissapointed. A little lighter and more snug. I believe have foot problems now because of it

I run marathons. I tried different brands and shows. Eventually I hooked up to Ghost but I found Launch 8 to be the best fast long distance running shoes.

Best shoes for everyday running since Brooks' PureFlow. Whether it be on the ice, trails, treadmill or asphalt, simply an all-around great shoe. It fits perfectly, is not too heavy, responds very well, and is at a very doable price.

When 1st putting on, felt a bit roomy but having Wide feet was appreciated by the toes. Only walking about inside my home just to break cuz an hour in felt like that needed to happen. Feel a bit tight at the top laces area but could be adjusted. Looking forward to testing them out on a wet path to see how they do, my reason for buying. An added bonus is the Return Policy ?? I got Black but wishing I had picked ones with some color! Oh! & based off the reviews I got 8.5 when I usually buy 9 in Shoe & Boot, Happy I did cuz the width & size are Great!

I've only had these a few days but they've been great so far. They're the perfect width and my legs don't hurt after running in these.

I've been running for 15 years. I typically wear a different Brooks model. I tried these, and immediately noticed a slight pain on the top of my outer toes. I figured I'd adjust. I never really did, but I did get continuing and worsening blisters from these shoes--again, I run 3-4 times a week and have been doing so for around 15 years. Blisters shouldn't really happen. Finally, I was doing speed work in them and got severe ankle pain. Took a few days off, and tried to run in my normal pair of shoes and everything felt fine. The shoes look great, but feel very cheap. Perhaps not all of this is attributable to these shoes, but, having run injury-free for a long time, this is too many coincidences to ignore.

The shoes I bought not only fit great, but they looked great too. The only thing I had to buy was memory foam inserts due to my Neuropathy. I'll buy from Zappos again!!!!!

The fit and quality are good, but not great. I much preferred the Brooks Ghost for ~20$ more. They lasted about 6 months in good shape and by 12 months were completely worn out, which is a touch faster than usual for my running shoes. Photo is at 10 months of wear.

Overall the fit was pretty good, but the toe box is a little bigger than I'd like. I use these mostly for HIIT type workouts and my foot can slip inside the shoe when I change directions quickly. When walking or running this is not an issue.

Not a fan of the Launch 8, it definitely feels like a downgrade from the previous versions. The materials on the upper part feel stiff and of lower quality than previous models I've owned. I've had a pair of Launch 5 and Launch 6, but of which were much more comfortable than the Launch 8. I'm disappointed with the fit comfort and quality of the Launch 8.
