Brooks Women's Launch Gts 8 Running Shoe

I rarely write reviews, but these shoes deserve my review for sure. I have spent so much $ over the years trying to find a shoe that will work for all of my conflicting issues. I have pronated ankles, so I need support; however, my arthritic feet need cushioning. There always seems to be a tradeoff between the cushioning and the support. It seems that support requires rigidity. If that's not enough, I have need a wide toe box. These come in wide (which I ordered), and the width is in the toe box, but there's not excessive width in the heel, so no slipping with each stride. I cannot believe how light weight these are. They are perfect for me! I have tried other Brooks stability shoes in the past, but I found that the heel was too high, so it felt unnatural plus it really hurt my knees. These shoes don't aggravate my knees. They are great, especially at this price point.

I have worn Brooks sneakers for years and won’t wear anything else for running/working out and even for work. These are just like the other pairs of Brooks I’ve had before as far as comfort and durability. I wear these while working out and also at work where, as a nurse, I’m on my feet all day. At the end of both my feet feel great and keep me moving. They fit true to size and are lightweight.

I go through a pair of running shoes about every 5-6 months from dragging my heels. I’ve been a runner/power walker for years 5 miles/day 4-5 times a week. Tried many of the top brands over the years but Brooks has become my go-to because of the comfort and support. Love the Guiderails platforms! Recently lost a big toenail & my podiatrist said go half size bigger. Bought these because of comments about the toe room. If you’re a runner you know-You feet swell with distance. These are the most comfortable runners I’ve EVER had! Great support and love the look! Totally recommend! Thinking about ordering another pair so I’ll have them when I wear the heels off of these from my gait!

I use these shoes primarily for gym workouts. I’ve been wearing Brooks for years and I love them. I recently have been told by my trainer that I need to wear a support shoe so I looked up a medium support shoe on the brooks website and these offer more support than the Brooks revel that I was wearing. They are very comfortable but supportive of my arch. I wear a size 9 shoe but I was professionally fitted for brooks and they recommend a size 9.5 so I always wear 9.5. I don’t run much anymore but these do great for gym workouts.

I was fitted at a local running shop, and left the store with these...mostly because the store was clearancing them out. My in-laws were going to take us on vacation out of the country (read: LOTS of walking expected), so I knew I needed to get another pair just for vacation so my feet didn't hurt. I had also twisted my ankle, and these really helped stabilize my ankle so it didn't roll again throughout the healing process.I was able to find the exact make/model and size of my then beloved shoe, and I didn't hesitate to order. Brooks are durable running shoes and these have arch support, as well as a rail along the sides to align your foot better. I could initially feel the rail on the first day or two, and didn't notice it after day 2-and I'm a bit sensory.My only problem with these shoes is that they last me about 6 months of daily use. I work retail, and there's no pad under the carpet at work so I'm noticing issues with my feet. But-these were intended as running shoes not daily walking shoes-so I'm not using them for their intended purpose.The item arrived quicker than expected, and in great condition. Would purchase again!

I only run about 5 miles 3 times a week, but I swear by these shoes. This is about my fourth pair. I know that Brooks makes a GTS Launch 9 now. I like the 8's. I buy the shoes two sizes bigger than my dress shoe size to avoid black toenails from bruising. The cushion is just right and the weight of the shoe is perfect for me. I need a supportive shoe and this one fills the bill very nicely.

I purchased these Brooks shoes as I was advised they would be the best for me after knee replacement surgery. I’m two months out from surgery and these shoes have been fantastic. They are very comfortable but also supportive . I’m.Very pleased with the fit and the color.

I'm a PE teacher who is extremely active all day running, jumping, climbing, kicking, walking, etc. Needles to say, my shoes put up with a lot. As a result, I rotate my tennis shoes every other day. I've had these since March and they are still in good shape. I purchased another pair from another brane which have since gotten a hole from my big toe :( These have really pleased me.

Amazing! Comfort from the moment I put them on, to the end of my 1.5 hour daily walk.

È il secondo paio che compro dopo aver passato anni con male ai piedi usando altre scarpe. Consigliatissimo

I like. the fit . Great for walking.

Amazing run shoes

I am used to wearing the The Ghost 13. Compared to those, there is NO comparison! These have no support and I wonder how (even runners with ‘good feet’ would fare with these...) I had surgery on my one foot 10 years ago...this, I’m sure has impacted fit and comfort.... so I suppose it may not be an accurate review!
