Using these Brooks Women's Launch 8 running shoes is straightforward. Just slip your feet in and tie the laces for a snug fit. They're great for road running, so put them on and hit the pavement! When it comes to maintenance, it's a good idea to clean them regularly. You can use a soft brush and mild soap to gently clean the mesh upper. Let them air - dry; avoid using a dryer as the heat might damage the materials. Also, keep them in a cool, dry place when not in use. As for usage, start with short runs and gradually increase the distance to let your feet get used to the shoes. And if you notice any discomfort, check the lacing or give your feet a break.
