"A really good shoe for speed training and as a race shoe. If you like a more minimal shoe type, I strongly recommend the Pure Connect!"NeverTri'd

(5)

Ease of installation

It's a shoe! Most should know how these work. However, the burrito tongue does take getting used to.

(5)

Ease of use

One foot in front of the other. Pretty simple.

(5)

Quality of Construction

Have been a big fan of Brooks' Pure line of shoes. Have not had any problems with any I've used.

(4)

Fit

Fairly narrow in the toe box. Fits me well but if you have wide feet I'd suggest giving them a good try before committing to buy,

(4)

Comfort

Not as much padding as the Pure Flow but they do well. I've run a 10K in them with no problems. Couldn't imagine running more than a half marathon in them.

(3)

Adjustability

The same as any other shoe. Adjust the laces to suit your preference.

(3)

Durability

You won't get as much wear as typical running shoes. Expect to get around 300 miles out of the Pure Connect.

(4)

Value

Good construction and performance. Couldn't rate a 5 because of the reduction in lifespan.

(4)

Appearance

Good looking shoe. Not as flashy as some but they do come in different colors.

(3)

Customer Service

Nothing to rate here. I've never has cause to contact Brooks about their products.

(5)

Performance

Fit well and feels great under foot. I really like them for race day and speed work during training.

Strengths

Construction, design, weight.

Weakness

Durability. (A minor issue in my opinion)
