The Brooks Men's PureConnect 2 Running Shoes was named "Best Debut" in Runner’s World’s Winter 2012 Shoe Guide in the December issue. The PureConnect strikes a balance between barefoot-inspired minimalism and cushioning-required training. It has a lightweight, barely there feel yet is substantive enough to handle long tempo runs.
Runners are raving about these shoes - and so is Runner's World! You'll feel your run from head to big toe with the radically lightweight and flexible PureConnect. Neutral runners who crave less shoe and more freedom will love the maximum breathability of an open mesh upper built on a slim and nimble underfoot.
A split toe groove extends through the forefoot allowing the runner to really engage the foot and get a greater sense of connection to the ground. This is a shoe for those who want as little as possible between them and the road.
