Advice for Road Runners: The Launch 8 by Brooks features BioMoGo DNA cushioning. The firmness of this cushioning making it ideal for faster paced running. This updated model also has blown rubber used in the forefoot (0.5mm more than the previous model). This helps transition the foot from landing to toe-off at a faster pace which is great while running quickly. It also adds more durability. A new air mesh upper provides better ventilation and provides a premium feel. The midsole construction is designed to offer good protection but encourage a faster transition from ground contact to toe-off.
The Launch 8 will work well for runners who are looking for a second shoe to do faster runs in or for someone who generally runs at steadier paces and likes a more responsive underfoot feel.
Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone’s feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles. Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb’s width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes). This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
