Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 8

Amazingly lightweight and fit to size. Love the color scheme! Keep me posted posted on new colors and designs. Easy to run/walk in. I get so many compliments anything wear any of my Brooks but especially the ones with the rad colors. Keep up the great work.

Very comfortable and a much more reliable design structure than the last few models. I hope these hold up longer than the Launch 6/7 series, but the heel is much more structural and supportive.

I've been a Ghost wearer for several years. These Launch 8s are an excellent alternative!! They are a bit lighter, but no less cushioned. Soft landings and a good return on take-off. The heel collar is a little thinner than the Ghosts, but is still sturdy enough to keep the foot in place. The heel tab is soft and high enough to protect the back of the heel. I ran distances with my Ghosts (3 marathons, severaI HMs) but I haven't run the Launch for more than 7 miles. I don't foresee any comfort issues with them over the long run, though.

too soft. foot has to work harder to keep up. unstable for heavier weight

Really lightweight. My last pair were Adrenaline?s and this are significantly lighter. Overall very comfortable.

Ii tried a different brand of shoes. Big mistake. I ordered these and have the comfort back I did before. The other brand was causing feet pain. That now has gone away. My next goal is to try the Elite

So cushy and bouncy and light weight. Really improves the running experience!

I wish St Pattys day was every month!! These shoes are so good I bought a second pair before they ran out!

Great shoe. Comfortable. Great value

Overall a comfortable shoe, a narrower tongue than earlier models, but has the comfort closer to the Launch 5 or 6 than the previous Launch 7 model. I have Launch 5, 6, 7 and 8 models and am very happy with the new addition! The tie die pattern and the fabric are also closer to the Launch 5 model, which is great! I would definitely recommend these!

So first off, I should say I don?t run. But I love Brooks, esp Launch! These do not disappoint! They are cushioned just enough and fit comfortably everywhere. The colors are amazing! I have plantar fasciitis and these support me. I do wear my orthotics in them and they don?t pinch the tops of my feet! I am on my feet all day and my legs don?t get tired! I exercise daily, walking at least three miles and these support that fantastically! I cannot brag enough about these shoes! I love them and I buy the new Launch annually!

Light, reactive and well balanced. Launch and ghosts are my go to shoe.

Absolutely lucky to have these!

Awesome shoe, I have always loved the launch and those fixed the problems that I had with the heel of the launch 7s

Amazing Shoes, My absolute favorite!!!!!

If I could only run as fast as they look cool I'd be a 20x Olympic gold medalist. Instead, I just get comments about those shoes as younger, faster runner run by me. I do really like the cut of the shoe. Very comfortable and pretty plush ride.

These are truly fantastic. They not only look great, but they feel like I am running on the exhaled breaths of a million little leprechauns.

Love the Launch 8 shoes!!! Light, responsive, comfortable...what more could you want. I?ve been out for a half dozen runs so far and can?t wait for the next. They should have named these the the ?PF Flyers? because I feel like I?m ?running faster and jumping higher?. Ok I?m not actually jumping in them but you get the point!

So far so good. really breathable shoes also amount of support for the arch is really great. I like the bounce and how light they are. only hard surface runs so far.

Like many long term runners, I have found Adidas, Asics, Brooks, Mizuno, & New Balance to be some of the best running shoes made. For the past 5 years I've been running exclusively in Brooks, and in particularly, the Launch series. These shoes are excellent for the runner that wants a lightweight trainer with great support and stability, yet not a shoe that makes you feel like you're running on pillows. The Brooks Launch series are lightweight shoes that are exceptionally responsive and will provide the average runner with at least 500km or more of solid running usage. Run well!
