Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 8

Fits fine but the quality is horrible!! The laces are super cheap and the top of the shoe is already starting to tear and i've only worn them for 2 weeks.

They are just okay. The sole seems thin. I will not be buying these again

Reminds me of a shoe I'd buy for a grade school kid to wear to school. Poor quality

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 remember the first launch and I think it was black and neon green. Super light, bouncy and I could go long mileage on this shoe. Although the 8 on paper seems like a light shoe, it feels really heavy underfoot. Maybe too much rubber on the bottom of this shoe. Also, it has no snap or toe roll off. You gotta work for it in this shoe. If I'm buying a tempo shoe from Brooks it's the Hyperion Tempo. But, with so many great shoes on the market the Tempo is way overpriced. Sorry Launch 8, thought you were my number one.(first version) This shoe has no place in my rotation.

Too much cushioning. I prefer the Launch 7 better

A very cute shoe just not wide enough.

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

Light weight - yes Comfortable - no

Returned them?. Launch 9 was a long overdue replacement for these? bought these by accident

I had an older pair of Brooks that I really liked and lasted for a very long time. Unfortunately, this pair started compressing on the inside of both feet - so now I am walking with my feet tilted inward, and it hurts my back. I am returning them for a replacement pair in the hopes it was just an anomaly.

I have purchased over a dozen launches. This pair started sidewall breakdown after the first run. Support became so bad I stopped wearing the new shoes after one week. I wore my older launches which has more support even after 250 miles on the shoe

These shoes have not held up well with daily use.

Have used Brooks shoes for many years. Same size and all great. This one unfortunately was way too big and felt a little flimsy. Ended up returning.

I want to return them. They aren't comfortable, they hurt my back, they lack the support I'm used to getting from my launch 7. I want an exchange for the launch 7.

Not a good shoe ran once and multiple blisters on foot on a 4 mile run

Terrible quality and very cheap shoe. I'll never buy brooks again

Toe box was not wide enough comparable to other models. Also created problem with pulling down my socks no matter how they were laced. Returned both pairs

My left ankle is in severe pain whenever I run in these shoes. I have run in these shoes 3 times for about 5k each time. I have never experienced this pain before, even with my previous shoe, which I retired recently after 300 miles. I thought this was part of the "break-in" phase of new running shoes, but the pain is too intense and has not diminished since my first run. I know this pair of shoes has great reviews so I am wondering if the size is the issue. I ordered a 7.5, which is my shoe size for Nike and Puma. These are my first pair of Brooks shoes.

Shoe fit terrible?.. was looking forward to this but no spring when you run, no cushion and runs small.. I ran 3 miles at the gym and my feet were acxhing afterwards? Thank god for Brooks and their commitment to run.. they gladly took back the shoe
