Good work shoes

I normally wear Brooks Adrenalines but needed something for work and was hesitant to get the Adrenalines again after my last pair lasted less than 6 months. The Launch 8 is comfortable for 12 hour+ shift and has pretty good support. As a healthcare worker, I am always looking for new shoes since I’m on my feet so much during the day. These are a solid choice, even though they take a little bit to break in. I have a very narrow foot as well but these fit securely. Happy customer!

Comfortable and exellent fit

My review is after wearing these beautiful shoes after a week. They fit great right out of the box. There was no breaking in period. I went for a walk on a gravel road and I didn’t feel the gravel poking under my feet. They almost feel like my Nike runners but with Nike shoes it’s hit or miss. These babies are a hit. Worth a little more price. You won’t regret buying them

Good shoes, order 1/2 size up

I tried these on at a local store, but they didn’t have this color. That is when I found out that I needed to go a half size up. These are comfortable, but not the most comfortable tennis shoes out there. I compromised a smidge on comfort, because I liked this style. I’m very happy with them. The color is neutral enough to go with most anything without being too plain.

Love this brand!!!

This is my FAVORITE brand of shoe!! They are lightweight, durable, and last a long time. They have helped fix my back issues and I won’t buy any other shoe. They have a great support too!!

Order a size down.

I have the Launch 7 that I need to retire soon, so I jumped on this new version to replace them. I ordered the same size as before and unfortunately they were way too big! Super comfortable and cute, but definitely way too loose for running shoes (my Launch 7s were heckin tight when I first got them). I'm seeing most folks say they're TTS, so this might just be specific to the black & teal version (I saw another person stating they did the same thing with this color). Either way, I've ordered a size down and imagine they'll fit like my Launch 7s did. Will update review accordingly. :)

20 mi so far -so far so good.

I've worn these shoes for about a month now, and they're perfect; I wear them walking on the treadmill mostly. They have nice traction, good cushion, my toes have room, and the fabric is breathable. I don't have anything negative to say about these shoes, and I love the design. A stellar shoe all round, this won't be my last pair.
