Another great shoe!

I've been running at Brooks for years and absolutely love it! I also wear them to work and they've become pretty much the only brand I buy. A lightweight shoe that I can run in right out of the box. Fits great and looks great! The colors are fun too! Will not disappoint!

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

My smallest third pair of Brooks

They are good but they don't compare to the other Brooks I've bought in terms of quality and comfort. I have flatter arches and the arch support was poor, they feel less well made and overall just not as good as the shoes from the previous launch series. I would not recommend it.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Modern

Disappointingly good for shoes

I've worn Brooks shoes for many, many years. I have a job that requires me to be on my feet 95 percent of the time. I lived in Brooks shoes. I told everyone I knew Brooks is the best shoe out there, especially for problem feet. NO LONGER. I've tried many different styles of Brooks shoes and they've all been crap. I don't know what or why the company changed their shoes like that, but they don't fit me at all. I have problems with my legs and after my first shift at work I could barely walk, I…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Weight

Not as strong as most streams, cheaply made.

First of all, everyone who buys Brooks shoes knows that shoes without good, thick Brooks laces are no good. Every pair I've had lately has them: Ghost, Adrenaline, Launch, Ravenna. But they have cheap flimsy laces. There is a soft feel but I wear two Spenos and orthotics so I have cushioning. The weight of the shoe is very light, just not hard or heavy. I would guess it would break in the blink of an eye since nothing can break. Cheap shoes compared to other Brooks shoes. For now, Brooks has to

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Something different

If the shoes fit.

I bought these shoes based on a quiz I took on the Brooks website and then searched for the shoes on Revain. I found this color and thought I'd take this one. I love it! It's very light and fits as expected. I felt like I didn't have a drag boot because it was so light. The padding is soft as stated in the quiz for that specific shoe. I needed a new hiking shoe that I could transition to running in as I am a fast hiker. This shoe. It doesn't fit snugly on the toe. I went up a size as usual as…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • ugly packaging

A sad departure from previous iterations

I have run with the Brooks Launch 6 for the past few years and was excited to try the Launch 8 as it was time to replace mine. I was cautiously optimistic after reading the reviews that they weren't as good as previous Launch models, but I'm sorry to say that these reviews are true. Not to say these shoes wouldn't fit anyone else, but they're nothing like the shoes I fell in love with. The Launch 8 felt narrower in the toe (I have medium sized feet) and generally less comfortable than my old…
