Visibility on the road is my goal and these shoes deliver. I'm a tall gal with big feet and a healthy arch. I like the way Brooks fit because they aren't so wide. I normally wear a women's size 12M, but I buy these men's Brooks in a size 11M to have a thumb's width of extra room in the toe for running. High visibility keeps me safer (please, I hope!), and these shoes are bright.
After I bought these, I found Brooks women's Ghost 13 in the same neon color, only brighter! The women's size 13 actually fit perfectly for running with sports socks. I'm switching to those when possible. Unfortunately, Zappos didn't carry them and I had to purchase from the Brooks website.

I have only run on them for 15 miles. With that said they are comfortable but not as Cushioned as I thought they would be.

Feels at least half a size bigger than any previous Launch.

I have been running in the Launch for at least 5 years. I have always enjoyed this shoe and found it to suit my running. The fit of the Launch 6 did n to work for me. I ran in both my normal size, which felt too large across the top of my foot, and one half size smaller, which was not long enough for my toes. The Launch 7 fits perfectly. Everything I've always loved about this shoe, and the best fit yet. Lightweight, and makes you feel like you just want to keep running.

What can I say? It’s Brooks. They usually hot home runs with their running shoes.
I'd also recommend:
ASICS

Shoes are great. I bought these for my husband because we live in Texas and he thought they would be fun. He has owned a couple dozens of pairs of Brooks shoes and said that these were up to standard. They are very comfortable, run true to size and have good support.

Overall Brooks doesn’t disappoint. They’re a good shoe. They’re comfortable during my runs. I love the Texas theme on them being a limited edition.

I love the fact that this shoe is light weight. I think the color is perfect for running, slightly bright for any other use though. I do not care for the shoe laces. I think they are thin and cheap feeling. I would also add just a little more padding to the heal of the shoe. over all I think the shoe is great. feels good while running

The shoe is just a little narrow in the front, but in general is quite comfortable. I also tried other models in the Brooks line, and find that the sizing is very inconsistent, varying from very tight, to very loose and bulky. I'd like to buy other styles, but have no confidence in the fit.

I?m in love with the new Launch 8. I personally run as often as I can at least 2 miles each trip. May not be a lot, but the comfort of the Launch 8 is unbeatable to me. I have run longer distances and had no issues out of them. I also like the extended tab on the heel. I?m a theme kinda guy so I had to buy the TX shoes!!

This is definitely a step up from the last couple models of the Launch. I believe Brooks is on the right track again which is good to see. There?s too much innovation in the shoe market today to put out anything less than quality

I like the 8s a lot. The feel lighter than the 7s, and more comfortable on the top of the foot on long runs. The shoe feels very balanced. I discovered the launch's with the 2s. This feels like the best version so far. I will be interested to see how durable they are.
