Customer Reviews Brooks Launch GTS 8

Simple shoe. Not much support, good for speed.

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

Not true to size. Too much room in the toe box and it slipped on my heels. Also not a good fit for my high instep. Returned them and purchased Ghost 14. Perfect fit!

The most comfortable shoe I?ve ever owned.

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.

Light and fast shoes. Go to shoes for speed work.

Great fit. Very durable. Love this style!

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! :)

Second pair and still love them.

impressed that a sneaker has the support of some leather shoes. I usually wear a Dr. scholls insert but in this particular shoe it is not needed.

like them alot, lite, wear great.. like them better then Ghost

Fantastic shoe! I have hip issues, this shoe assists in keeping my feet from over pronating

The half size really makes a great difference?.. so far so good

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

This is at best a cheap knock-off of the Ravenna. It is obvious you wanted to sell some cheap shoe using the reputation of one of the best shoes ever made. DO NOT BUY THIS. If you liked the Ravenna you will be very disappointed. It feels unbalanced. It is not supportive. There is nothing good about this shoe. I have been buying Ravenna's since Ravenna 3. This is not the same.

I haven't run in them but wore them to work. Very comfortable, light, and fit great. Typical brooks shoe that will satisfy anyone. Great price too

Style is blah. Support is fantastic compared with minimalist launch of old. If only we could have the best of both worlds.

Definitely not as comfortable as Adrenaline line. The finish inside is hard, there isn?t much padding. They are light and comfortable enough but I wouldn?t buy this model again.

Too soft, this is not a Ravenna equivalent , you are misleading

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.

Great shoes! This is my third pair.
