Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 8

Very comfortable and supportive. Light weight and well ventilated. Good shock absorption.

I'm very particular about my shoes. The Launch 8 seems to have a limited mileage life (200-250 miles) I started to notice the heal loosing it's cushion. I did wear testing for Asics for many years. It rather reminds me of the later DS trainers. Fix this heal issue and you've got a great shoe. Feel free to increase the drop by a mm or two. It wouldn't be a bad this for achille issues

Good neutral shoe. Bent lip on top of back of shoe is nice because it does dig into Achilles. Could use some more padding and support on bottom. Overall very good shoe!

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

Great fit and great support. I love Brooks models, Ghost and Launch my favorite.

Great fit. Comfortable walking shoe. I could not be happier with my purchase!

A little too snug on my feet. But cushy and good support while running.

I don?t prefer these. Too narrow and not as comfortable s my previous Brooks

I have High Arches. This is one of the most uncomfortable shoes I've worn. I returned shoes. It hurt the top of my foot. They have a tight toe box

Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned! I suffer from foot pain but since these have arrived my pain has subsided greatly. Very impressed and will buy more

Much cheaper feeling than I?d hoped. Would not recommend.

Love the Launch 8. The new Launch 9 not so much. It's so different than the solid and simple Launch 9 should be renamed to an entirely different shoe. Bring back the feel of the 8 Brooks! I've gone broke stocking up on 8s because the 9 is a train wreck.

Narrower than the Ghost 10 they replaced, which I'm not happy about. Closer to typical Nike width. A little mushier with less side to side support than I'd hoped. Like the Ghost, the tread itself doesn't grip in the rain at all. That appears to be normal for all running shoes today. Good shoe for the price I paid though.

Still great every release. I've run in the Launch 3, 4, 6, 7 and now 8 over these past few years. A lighter shoe with good toe room and comfortable fit across the toe box. Fast without having to give up all the cushioning. So glad you've kept this in the line up.

Didn't fit as well as the Revel models. I returned and bought the Revel.

Got these not because I?m a runner . I got them because work on my feet 8+ hours a day. Was a good investment very comfortable and less back pain at the end of the day. First pair and won?t be my last pair.

Was a good fit, but was not as comfortable as Ravenna, in my opinion. Larry

Probably have purchased 5 pair of Brooks. Started with Reval 3?s went to 4?s, then a couple of others. Love Brooks. Extreme comfort, great fit. Even retired shoes get used for yard work. I do wish for total black shoes, not the black / gray or some other ? just total black. Black uppers, black soles etc. Other wish is for the heel support (inside back) to last longer. This is the absolute first thing to wear out for me. I wear these shoes constantly.

I've owned various models of the Launch over the past 5 years, and it has been my go-to shoe when I'm trying to go faster such as track workouts and races up to a half marathon. Unfortunately with the latest revision, the toe box is smaller and now I get a black toenail on my long toe after running in the Launch 8. Sad to see they made the toebox smaller just to save money on materials

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

I just purchased my 6th pair! Wouldn't dare another brand or model. Running happy!

Another great pair of Brooks shoes. Great fit, great feel.
