My recent purchase of the launch 8 was to wear at work. I?m on my feet all day and needed something I know is comfortable. The launch provides support, cushion and comfort. I recommend Brooks to everyone asking. FYI - I?m a size 15 and brooks has a great selection for me.

This is my second pair of Brooks shoes and I love them, my heal hurts and I was hoping these shoe would correct it. It?s taken the wind out of my sails. Bill Brooks

I've run in various iterations of the Launch for a decade, and I've yet to find a shoe I prefer. Every version fits like a glove ? even though because of some foot issues from high-school sports injuries I've recently switched a wide version ? and the shoe perfectly balances cushion with weight. I swap between the Ghost and the Launch for training, and generally prefer the Launch because of how light it is (though the Ghost is also excellent). I typically race in the Launch, too, despite having a pair of Hyperions... (The Launch's cushioning beats the Hyperion in that department.) I'm just waiting for a tril-running versionof the Launch! C'mon, Brooks! I'm begging you!

Great product. I love New Balance, but these shoes slide on much easier. Much easier. So I wear these.

This is my 6th pair of shoes in the Launch line and probably the most comfortable I have had. Fits my wide forefoot perfectly and feels as good at mile 20 as at mile 2. *Actually ordered and use Size 13 (not an option in the pulldown below)

I loved these as my very first pair of Brooks Running shoes. I have been wearing them since March 2021 and they aged really well. They fit and feel great and one of the coolest looking shoes I have owned!

These are my second pair of the launch 8 and I love them as much as the first. I get a min of 10 miles a day in them and the first pair lasted 6 months so I am very excited to start working on these. Very comfortable and last much longer than any other shoe I have purchased in the past. My first pair is still comfortable, just needed to upgrade because I have worn the traction down as to be expected.

I?ve taken these shoes on 17 mile long runs and used them for speed sessions. They?re just the right weight and responsiveness for any of your needs. An added bonus is that they?re super durable. I usually only get 400mi out of any given pair of shoes because I supinate, but these ones still feel solid almost 500mi in.

I’m a Brooks lover. What can I say? These fit like a glove ( although I order 1 size up ) and I can wear them all day without my feet getting tired. I’m an older guy so balance is important to me. I feel very supported and steady in these shoes. The only thing I don’t like are the flat laces. But for $99 these shoes are worth it!

Love the fit, colors everything. Unfortunately I had to select a ?mens? style and size the only colors you had for ?women? we every shade of pink or purple. C?mon now. We need a bigger palette than that when we?re logging our miles.

I liked them so much that I bought 2 pairs. Great value for the money, very comfy and a good all around daily shoe. Fits true to size and has ample room in the toe box. They may now be great for those with skinny feet though.
