The Launch Gts is comfort as soon as its on. A roomy toe box, plus descent support. I work retail and on my feet long hours. These shoes are awesome as soon as you put them on. Zappos is the best. The Brooks shoe fit test is worth doing. I wish the Launch Gts had more colors. Thank You Zappis for making it easy to buy new shoes.

This is my second pair of Brooks, and I bought them in my usual size in Primrose/Ombre/Metallic. First, I want to say that I was worried about the Ravenna being replaced. I still have my old Ravennas, and they helped me stay in shape even with a knee injury. I bought the Launch as a more stylish running shoe to wear around the house and for light errands. The Launch is slightly different from the Ravenna - the toe rolls forward more easily and the back of the shoe is a slightly different shape. Otherwise, they look, fit, and wear very similarly - which is great because I really need shoes that are light and stable to protect my bad knee. These needed no breaking in and I have not had knee/hip/back pain since I started wearing them. I did replace the insoles with Superfeet inserts, and I think that probably helped, too. Overall, I really love these shoes - they are so cute and comfortable, exactly what I needed!

I love my new shoes. I work in nursing and do 12 hour shifts. Comfortable from day one. Perfect size width and exactly what I was hoping for.

I bought these to replace the Brooks Ravenna and generally like them. They allow for pronation, which was a key concern for me. The two issues (as others have noted) that I'm experiencing are them being too loose in the heels and short laces. My heels slide in these. When I use the extra lace hole to make them tighter on the heel, there's barely enough lace to tie the shoes. I can't double-knot them, so they will likely come untied while running at times. The laces won't be long enough, even untied, to trip over which is good.

These fit well everywhere except the toe box, which was more narrow than other Brooks styles. Brooks in general tend to accommodate my wider foot. Otherwise it's a well-made shoe with good to very good arch support. Good looking, too--just know that this color combo with blue tint is fairly showy as the blue is bright!

My podiatrist is happy that I am wearing Brooks due to bunion issues and wide feet. My feet feel great even after a long day on them.

I ordered the Ravennas as long as I could find them, but finally switched to the Launch GTS. I like them as well as the Ravennas and can't really tell much difference. They're supportive, yet light, and the uppers, like the Ravennas, are kind to the bunion on my left foot. I read a review that said the shoe laces were cheap and short, but I personally think the shoe laces are fine. They are a little shorter, but I have always hated how long running shoe laces tend to be. I can still easily double knot these, so that's all I care about. Yes, the laces are slimmer, too, but I don't translate that as cheap; they're just not as bulky. I really hated to switch from the Ravennas, but I'm happy with this pair of shoes.

So glad returning items to Zappos is easy. I was having a horrible time finding a pair of shoes that worked with my overpronation problem. I finally found a perfect fit in a Brooks LaunchGTS 8. Ordered two different colors. I’m so happy.

I love these shoes. They?re great for running and HITT workouts. My only disappointment is that they don?t come in more colors.

These felt true to size and comfortable. They are much more supportive to the ankles than the other pair I bought and these will probably be used more for outdoor pavement runs as they feel a bit heavier and stiffer than the ghosts I purchased. I've been a Brooks girl for years and will continue to be for my running sneakers. Again, the colorways leave much to be desired but you can't beat the comfort or quality.
