I found out this is a cool down shoe after running long distance and not to be worn for walking I Purchased the shoes went to Las Vegas and it put a lot of strain on my calf muscle I had to then go to a foot doctor and I purchase a pair of Beast 20 for 174.00. I will be returning the launch 8 shoe.

Great shoes! I have "problem feet" (being old and athletic) and these shoes fit, are light and the material has a bit of give.

I ran in these yesterday May 8th for my first ultra race. They made the run so comfortable. I did switch my shoes after 6 hours to my other brooks because of advice. When I switched it felt like I just started. Completed 52 miles in the brooks. My go to shoes

There really wasn't much to this shoe. It was pretty expensive and I ended up with Skechers Demitasse 5 that was much more comfortable for less than $50. I liked the HOKA but couldn't find one that fit properly. I also purchased the NB All Terrain. Nice shoe

I purchased these for my 14 year old son. After sending 3-4 other brands/styles of shoes back for 'I don't like them', these were finally the winner! He's been wearing them for about a month now. No complaints at all:) Decent price point for a growing teen.

I love your shoes and as I person who had 25 pairs of Nike in the closet I am covered and so are my kids and I tell everyone about your Cascadia's and Caldera's. And now my tie-dyes.

I love the color. I get compliments on them literally everytime that I wear them and asked what brand they are. They feel great on my feet too. Thanks for putting out some bright colors instead of bland greys and black colors.

There's nothing better for fat guys. I've tried other running shoes with a lot of cushion and nothing can compare. At 40 years old and 240lbs, I bought these on a Monday, ran a 5k on Tuesday and another two days later on Thursday after not having run for nearly a year. Barely any soreness at all. I'm amazed.

Love the launch, my favorite running shoe and I won't switch any time soon. The only thing I wish was that there were more fun colorways like this because I like to rotate a few pairs and like to have something unique on my feet.

Thus far I like the Launch 8 more than the Launch 7. My longest run with these shoes has been 11 miles and they felt really good. They seem to be a little lighter this year and for me have plenty of pep. That being said I bought these as a gift to myself as I finally get to run an in person event at The Cowtown Half in Fort Worth.

This is a good shoe, but the previous generation was a great shoe. My current issues are small: the redesigned heel, tongue, and shoelaces are all, to me, less functional than in the previous generation. I still appreciate the minimal padding, the neutral sole, and the roomy toe box. I love Brooks, but may have to move away from the Launch.
