I normally purchase NB but thought I'd give these a try, glad I did. I have wide feet, and even with NB, I wear 1/2 a size bigger, which makes them a bit long. This is the first pair of shoes in a long time that just fit properly. I mainly use them for walking, 4-5 miles daily, and they provide excellent support. I'll definitely be purchasing more Books shoes in the future.

A great shoe with no break-in period. As comfortable as ever.

I had to reorder due to needing wide sizing. The upper is legitimately narrower then most shoes. If you have wide feet. Order wide. Besides that the shoes are amazing.

Snug fit, wants to always run fast. Having trouble keeping pace down on my easy runs. Very comfortable.

I love the shoe. This is my 3rd pair since the discontinuation of the Ravenna shoe. Well done!

This is my second pair of Brooks Launch GTS 8. I've put about 200 miles on the first pair, and I've loved them so much that I wanted to secure a second pair to replace them while I can. They're fast, light, and stable, but they have enough cushioning to remain comfortable through at least 7 miles of running. With the first pair, after 100 miles, I had to learn a proper runner's knot to lock my heels in because they'd started sliding toward the outside during my runs. I've had no other issues. The outsoles barely show any wear, which is impressive. Aside from some creasing in the midsole foam and, obviously, some dirt, they still look new, so these are durable shoes. I've only taken the new pair on a single 6.3-mile run, but they feel just as good as the old ones (which also speaks to the durability of the old ones). I've also run in Saucony Peregrine 10, Saucony Guide 14, Enda Koobi Fora, and New Balance Vongo 5, and the Launch GTS 8 is my clear favorite. I wear these for every 5k race and will be wearing them when I do my first 10k race in a month.

The Launch GTS 8 carries on the Ravenna tradition of a supportive, yet firm distance shoe. In fact, this shoe will go further more comfortably! :)

These shoes are both comfortable and stylish, but more importantly they fit like a glove and help make running and walking painless.

I really really liked this shoe. I don?t get any pains on the soles of my feet after wearing them for hours. I do truly think they benefit feet, knees & hip. Only thing I ask is that you lower the price for those folks that can?t afford such special shoes. If the marketing/sales team can somehow find a way to make it available price/advertising wise for youth/older adults that have never experienced such great quality on their feet, it would be so appreciated by many. As a Latino male, I have never seen marketing for these shoes. It?s only until I stepped out of my community and worked for a Physical Therapy company that these shoes were recommended. Please, let?s make a change.

Best stability shoe I have found. I have severe over pronation and the shoes I have used in the past have always been heavy. These are light and very comfortable. I only have about ten miles on them so far but my feet/ankles/knees/hips feel great during and after the runs. Excellent choice if you are considering them. I can't speak for longevity since I have only had them for a short time but they seem very good as far as quality is concerned.
