Customer Reviews Brooks Launch GTS 8

Great shoe, comfortable, and light, decent stability

I really like them they feel good I love the new laces I?ve been running in the Ravenna not the gts for like 7 years and still my favorite shoe

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

Looking for comfort and that?s exactly what I got.

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.

Comfortable and very supportive. I have seen significant decrease in any plantar fasciitis pain since switching to these running shoes.

Great product. I've shaved 10 minutes off my 5K time in 3 weeks.

Finally Brooks have figure it out. These are the best pair of running shoes I have ever ran on. Ravenna 10 and 11 were my regular go-to for long speedy runs and I occasionally use shoes from other brands in rotation. The Launch 8 GTS is extremely light, like REAL LIGHT. The first time I ran on it, I couldn't believe it and I thought there might a manufacturing defect :D The upper is very soft and breathable, it like your feet are free to fly. The support is as good as it was in Ravenna 11, and the cushion is similar but improved. I'm averaging a lot better in my minute-miles than performance models from other brands. Please make other colors as well, so I can get my second pair in a different color.

I regularly run in the Adrenaline GTS and wanted to give this the Launch GTS a try. You don?t see ?speed? and ?stability? in the same sentence...but I was intrigued. First, these shoes are crazy light. Second, the ride was a little firmer than the Adrenaline?s...but not bad. Third, my feet felt secure the whole run. And fourth, I shaved 8 seconds off my average mile on my 5-mile course. I?m sold. Make more. Now. Like right now.
