Customer Reviews Brooks Launch 8

This shoe is a dream... My third pair of them. Comfy, stylish all around awesome. Bonus my kids favorite color is rainbow!

I had the older launch series, think it was 4 or 5. These ones are good but not as good , the base is still much harder than before, the cushioning in earlier models was the best. Rest of the shoe is fine , the grip for running could be better.

Great light sneaker, would highly recomend.

They are just okay. The sole seems thin. I will not be buying these again

Great running shoe! Got these as a gift for my brother and he was in love at first run.

I purchased my Launch 8's a while back and just started using them as I LOVE my Launch 6's and have a pair of Launch 7's that I like as well. I really like the ride of these and what feels like more cushion. What I love about Launches in particular my Launch 6's is the snug fit. I think the Launch 8's have a similar fit but much more padding. At first I was not sure I would like it but after running in them a few times it feels like the sole has conformed to the contour of my foot. I'm looking forward to breaking them in more.

So far so good. Love the look and the feel of the first run in them. Hoping the rest of my miles in them are equally as nice

The Launch is a great training and racing shoe for short to mile distance races. They give me the support and stability I need, plus they're light weight. I use tie-less laces for quick transitions in triathlons. The Launch 8 has a slightly longer tongue so they're really easy to slip on in T2. Love these shoes.

Love them. Super supportive and comfortable. I will say they fit to size. I bought up a half size and wished I hadn?t.

Don't change anything! This is my perfect shoe!

I?m a nurse and wear these for work because I?m on my feet all day. These are a great shoe and would highly recommend.

Great running shoe, would definitely recommend.

Very comfortable, roomy, previous versions rubbed at achilles. No break-in required; go out of the box.

Comfortable fit at the front of the shoe, but tight enough at the heel/base. I like the thinner feel and look compared to older versions of the Launch.

Great show! Light weight but sturdy! Second pair I have owned. Hope the next Launch is as good.

Great shot right out of the box!

Great running shoe for the price

I'm usually a Ghost purchaser for the previous season's model because they go on sale... Well this time they never went on sale, but these did... So I took a chance on purchasing them... I've got about 60 miles in them so far and they've felt good...did a 10 miler today no issues... If money was no object I'd still get Ghost, but these will do until finances allow me to purchase ghosts again. I run 100+ miles a month so they wear out and I have to buy 2-3 pairs a year... My last Ghost shoes, the 13s I pushed to 800 miles waiting for them to go on sale lol but they did finally blow out... I'm glad I started purchasing Brooks shoes about 4 years ago when I started running... I started with the ghost 10...

They fill great as always.

Brooks are the absolute best for fit and wear. I have found no substitute.

Great shoes with a balance of being supportive and lightweight. Sometimes having a more supportive shoe backfires and causes pain. These shoes strike the right notes.
