Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 8

Love all my. Brooks I have purchased. Never ever buy another brand. Thas the truth !!!!! Sincerely !!!!

Feels good and comfortable.

comfortable light shoe great for walking

Not that good. Too spongy on soles and heels and no lateral support or stability whatsoever. Disappointed!

I purchased these for my 11 year old sons first pair of Brooks! Now he can fit into adult sizes. He loves them

Comfortable and long lasting. Brooks are the only shoe I run in. I had knee, hip, and back pain before I started wearing them. Now I run pain free.

I have always wore the rebel series, thought I'd try something new! Not real impressed with the feel or comfort of the launch,will definitely go back to the revels

Nice comfortable and good colors

These are my new favorite Brooks, and I?ve had a lot. This is my 8 pair. I usually get 1.5-2 yrs. The rebound on these is perfect and they are light. I avg 2.5-4 miles a run 3-5 days a week.

These are the most comfortable running shoes I have ever used. I'm a convert from On Cloud.

Comfortable, good support. I get a new pair every year.

Good do-it-all show for running and training. I run 2x 5K weekly so not an advanced runner by any means. For my use it was a good balance of cost and features.

I previously used the Launch 7, and loved them. I like a lightweight, responsive feel over cushion for shorter runs. The launch 8 delivers the same feel, with a bit more cushion/spring without the feeling of added bulk to the shoe. I will be adding different model for my longer runs during marathon training. For me, the Launch is good for about 8-10 miles. That just means these will last longer :)

I like the ease of slipping them on, being somewhat easier than some Brooks models. All shoes are well constructed and live up to the specifications listed, such as stability, etc.

Support in all the right places.

Six months, wearing every third day at the fire station, and the soles are starting to lose support.

Ive been using Brooks Ravenna for years?it is the perfect running shoe for me and I never have any issues. I was unable to find what I was looking for with the Ravenna model this year so I gave the Launch a shot. I?m about two weeks into it and it?s just not the same. The fit is off and comfort are off and just doesn?t feel as good of a shoe. I will def continue to stay with brooks but will be switching away from the Launch.

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.

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.

I truly love my Launch 8 running shoes! Lightweight with plenty of support makes training and racing thoroughly enjoyable!
