Customer Reviews Brooks Launch GTS 8

Gift for my husband. He cannot stop talking about how perfect these shoes are...just the right give in the toe, arch support and heel cushion is the best.

Great balance between lightweight and support

Very happy with my Brooks, I can feel the comfort on every step. Highly recommend these sneakers!

Pro: They're super comfortable, light and helped me shave some time from my average. Perfect for the quick 1-3 mile daily run. Cons: Longer distance of 5-9 miles, my feet were more sore when compared to wearing a beast 20. Also tried to use for road to trail. The light cushioning didn't fare well comfort/feel wise with loose gravel and unpaved roads. Good shoes if you need an alternate running pair to a beast 20.

So far, so good. It is a lighter shoe than the Ravenna, I believe, and fits well. I am hopeful it holds up to the mileage I hope to run in my new favorite Brooks shoe.

Running shoes that fit my wide feet!

Comfortable and light. Very happy with the support. I have flat feet and have experienced no foot pain while running.

Have been looking for a cushioned -stability shoe since you discontinued the Infinity which was perfect. Having been stung on several mushy soles claiming to be stability, I discovered the Ravenna 10 which was a good combination of both. With it going the route of the Infinity I was steered toward the Launch GTS 8. What at first felt like another mushy sole, soon felt like springy energy return and then a nice feel for the road. Best I have felt in a shoe in quite some time. I could see these being used on race day or knock arounds. Will definitely get another pair to rotate. There is still a need for running stability despite the trend to mushy soles and most styles being neutral. My Brooks buying goes back to the days of the Chariot with the diagonal roll bar. I still miss the Radius and Burn !!

great shoe quality for the price, it can go super fast, it can go fast, it can go slow, it can go super slow. The guardrails are no joke, the extra stability piece in the midsole is fantastic, too good actually.

Great shoe, comfortable, and light, decent stability

Love the lightweight, and with the guide rails it?s even better. Very happy after the first two weeks

The only shoes I've found that are wide in the toe box while simultaneously not making my toes wiggle around and get callouses! 10/10, will buy again.

Overall nice shoe the fit is very good , but i would like to see all the colors available in wide i also changed the shoelaces for a more forgiving lace and the shoe became much more comfortable.

Very comfortable, as well as extremely light! They feel like a supportive cloud.

First time running in Launch from Brooks. I usually go with ghost but I?m glad I switched. Very comfortable while running and light.

Well I am about 50,000 miles passed my championship mile relay days, so we are not talking marathon training. And of course every foot and stride is a little different so take the shoe specs for what they are. But this Launch GTS 8 is the best shoe I have ever worn. Out of the box, I upped my weekly mileage by 20%. Light, very supportive, extremely comfortable. Just an amazing shoe. Wish these were around in my heyday.

Great shoe for all around work out and everything. Great support for flat feet.

Great, lightweight shoe that supports. Laces are a touch short if you want to do a runner's knot, but they still tie in a small, tight bow. The laces are the amazing "flat" kind, instead of the "rope" style. That's a plus. Also briefly experienced heel-slippage first two times I wore the shoes, but has disappeared after breaking them in. Usually wear 10.5, but got these in 10s. The 10.5's had a lot of toe-box room. Completely happy with my purchase, but listing these details for potential buyers. I definitely feel a difference between these, my original Trance 12's(that I wore a lot), and Ghost 12's. Compared to Ghost 12s, these Launch GTS 8's are feathers on your feet in terms of weight. If you like cushion, go for Ghost. If you like barely noticing you're wearing shoes, go for Launch!

Fine looking, light weight shoe available in 2E width. I really like them. My 3rd pair of Brooks. I don?t run in them- I wear them to work with scrubs.

The shoes are great. It is light shoe so it makes my daily walk/run a breeze. I bought them half size bigger and it worked pretty well. I like the material and overall design.

Great shoes, very comfortable and lightweight.

I run 12-15 miles per week and love the support and cushion in such a light weight shoe.

I wear them every morning on the treadmill. Very comfortable and supporting.
