Brooks Womens Glycerin GTS 19 | Our verdict
Brooks Womens Glycerin GTS 19 Ravenna 11, the Launch GTS 8 won't fail you. It is a budget-friendly option for beginners and long-time runners who want a new addition to their daily trainer rotation. Where it shines is in tempo paces. Anything slower than that, the shoe struggles. Since it's only a moderate stability shoe, it's perfect for those who only mildly overpronate and neutral runners looking for a touch of stability.

Who should NOT buy it
If you want a shoe for easy days, the Brooks Launch GTS 8 is not it. It's a moderate stability shoe, which means it's not suited for those with severe overpronation (feet roll inward excessively) and supinators (feet roll outward).
If you're planning to run long miles in it, you might want to reconsider. There have been reports of pain developing in the lower legs at the end of the run.
What changed: Launch GTS 8 vs. Ravenna 11
The Ravenna is renamed Launch GTS. To mark this change, here are some of the updated features from the Launch GTS 8:
- Roomier forefoot
- More breathability due to the new Air Mesh upper
- Smoother transitions and durability, thanks to the added rubber at the forefoot

As a stability model, it's targeted toward runners who suffer from overpronation or excessive inward rolling of the foot (find out more about it in this pronation guide). Inclusive it doesn't solely focus on the underfoot support. Instead, the shoe controls overpronation by guiding and stabilizing the runner's knees. How does it do that?
- The GuideRails technology reduces excess shin and heel rotation, keeping the knee's natural motion in a safe range.
- Contrary to the Launch 8 (non-GTS version/neutral counterpart), the shoe has more midfoot rubber coverage and it generates more grip for a slip-free ride.

Brooks Launch GTS 8: A stable ride that doesn't overdo it
Unlike other stability shoes, the Launch GTS 8 offers "very mild" support. Experts say that the GuideRails are almost "invisible" and only work when needed, making the ride adaptive and NOT restrictive.
Spot-on wrap
It has a performance-oriented fit — very snug in the midfoot and opens up in the forefoot.
Don't worry about slips
Experts find the ride very surefooted thanks to the combination of the shoe's fit, overlays, sidewalls, and wide outsole.
A welcome element
The gusseted tongue prevents unwanted movements and rotation while promoting a more "secure lockdown."

Almost all testers agree that it breathes "great" during hot days and gives enough warmth during winter.
A cozy haven for the feet
Runners attribute this to the shoe's breathability, roomy toe box, and flexible upper.
Practically unbreakable
After logging 100 miles, athletes still haven't seen any noticeable wear. They predict that the shoe can last between 250-400 miles.

Reviewers say that the BioMoGo foam doesn't work. It makes the ride "uninspiring," "stiff," and "dead," even after the break-in period.
Mediocre heel hold
It's not as secure as the Launch 7. It's slippery, and some had to use a runner's knot to avoid slippage.
Caution: Instability in the midfoot
The outsole is quite narrow in the midfoot, making the run a little unstable, especially in this area.
