Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 8

Brooks are by far the best shoes I've ever ran in these were my 2nd pair my 1st pair the toe on the right the the rubber began peeling off.

I really like this shoe. Been running on Brooks for a while and this is one of the best. Not quite as good as my Levitate IMO but a very solid entry.

These are my happy shoes, the bright colour design puts me in a good mood every time they go on. The fit is great, since I am in South Florida it has been too hot and humid for an outdoor run so been using them on the tread and for strength classes. My feet knees and back are happy as well. My only complaint is the laces, used to be bungee laces now they are regular and they do come loose when active. Brooks please make these on neon yellow (women)I need another ?happy pair?

Good shoe for my middle school xc runner

Got this shoe for cross training- extremely light and comfortable. The only dislike is the tongue slips to the side during workout - no matter how tight the shoes are tied.

These are my new daily trainers after my old Newtons stopped working for me. I was started to have back pain from the impact once I extended the length of my runs. After a couple weeks with the Launch 8s, I haven't had anywhere near the level of soreness after running that I used to. Would definitely get several pairs of these to keep in my rotation.

Stop changing it. It?s perfect.

As expected and paid for. Nice product

Very comfortable and great color!!

True to size and a bit more cushioning than the Anthems I have been wearing (still love them too). I am a 200 lb mid-striker, and this shoe is my new go-to for my short runs (3-6 mile). Still a great low profile look that can be worn daily, with a bit more comfort than my Anthems.

Launch GTS is a good shoe. Still confused why you have a Launch and Launch GTS, but I like the GTS as it has extra support

Nice shoe, They are light and comfortable, a variety of models, excellent for walking all day.

Love the fit, love the stability in the heel. Just hoping my left big toe doesn?t come poking through like it keeps doing with the Ghost and earlier Launch models.

I have to admit I bought them because I loved my first pair. I'm a heavier runner (~210), with slight pronation (less if I stretch more). Mostly fitness running on concrete, 3-5 miles per run, 3-5 times per week. The cushion slightly exceeded its expected lifespan as did the heel tread, which probably wore out first. Some shoes become unwearable as they wear out, but these wear out very gently. I was shooting for 250 miles, and I replaced them at 285. Last time I bought the white, and found them really easy to wash - dried fast, too. The fabric against my Achilles wore out faster than anything, but that was at about 250, so... A newer or different shoe is not always better to me. This is simply the first shoe I loved from beginning to end. So here's to another 285.

Always liked the Launch because it is light and usable on trails and roads alike.

Lightweight and feels extremely comfortable. No issues. I just switched, all of my running shoes are Brooks. I find the fit to be true to size.

The Launch 8 shoe is perfect for me. It is my favorite. Unfortunately, I have to buy the men's shoe as I always like to purchase the wide width in women's but can no longer find it in my size (9W). But, the shoe itself fits me perfectly and is very comfortable.

Not as fast as the tempo, not as cushioned as the ghost or glycerin, but great all around daily trainer for the price.

I LOVE Brooks, they are amazing shoes, this my 3rd pair!

I have been wearing the ghost for the last 10 years I absolutely love these!!!

Nice & light nimble trainer. Soft steps without too much padding that lets you feel the road like your dancing on water.

Best shoes I?ve ever had. Ive had the tie dye, neon yellow and black and turquoise in the launch 8. I adore these shoes. I?m work for an ophthalmologist and am on my feet a lot of the day. I also run and have had pain running in other shoes. These have been a lifesaver.

Great shoe to keep you running fast splits.

Bought these for my husband and he loves them! Comfy, versatile, and long-lasting!

Great shoe, very comfortable. My first pair of brooks, won?t be my last
