Customer Reviews Brooks PureConnect®

If you have a narrow foot, you may want to give these a try. Even though they are not marked narrow they fit narrow. I have a 9.5 4A foot and the 10.5 M in these shoes fit snugly with a medium weight sock. The shoe is light and comfortable. I am very rough on shoes so I did not keep them as I knew I would destroy the thin netting material in less than a month. They are a wonderful pair of shoes...alas if I wasn't such a tomboy and had the discipline to use the shoes just for one activity I would have kept them.

I love these but they were too small. I will exchange for at least a 1/2 size larger and hope they fit.

Comfort & support: These are the only tennis/workout shoe I can wear comfortably after dealing with severe plantar fasciitis for several months. The arch support is high and the heel is low. I also tried PureFlow and PureCadence, both of which had very minimal arch support. Durability: Great for indoor workouts, but with the incomplete outsole, I believe these would wear out very quickly if used outdoors. I wear mine indoors only. Sizing: My size was the same as other Brooks shoes, however, I must wear ultrathin sports socks with them. If I wore regular socks I'd have to go up a size, but then I just don't think they'd fit right. And I don't like the idea of exercising sockless. Style: These are the cutest tennis shoes I've ever worn in my life (I got the blue/white). Very slimming on the foot and ankle.

Have done two half marathons in these shoes in the past month. These shoes have lasted through a lot of training. They got very dirty during one run, and they came out of the washing machine looking like new. It is time for me to replace my last pair, and I'll be buying another pair of the same!

These shoes are fabulous! Yes, they are fitted and I can only wear really thin socks and sometimes not at all. But they're really light and so comfortable to run in. Highly recommend!

An amazing shoes with great arch support! I highly recommend to visit the www.fleetfeetsports.com or just go to the store for the proper shoe fitting. This type of shoes is not for everyone so unless u try them on and they feel comfy and fit great do not buy it!

I just received these shoes and immediately tried them on. They are the most comfortable running shoe I've ever put on my feet. Not bulky, lightweight, feel natural but I can tell they will help with stability. They are super cute too. I can't wait to test them on a run, but I was so excited about the fit that I had to post a review first. They run true to size for Brooks. I wear a size 7 shoe and always order 7.5 Brooks running shoes.

These are my favorite walking shoes. Loved them so much that I also ordered a pair for my adult daughter who is a gymnastics coach. Both of us have gotten lots of compliments on the looks of these shoes, but what we like the most is their comfort. Like getting a constant massage.

My New Favorite Shoes! These are the lightest weight athletic shoes I've ever had, but they still give good overall support. I appreciated the reviews stating they were quite narrow. With a narrow foot already, I ordered my exact shoe size. Since I wear a prescribed orthotic, it turned out I needed a 1/2 size larger to accomodate them; they are that narrow. As always, Zappos made the exchange even simpler than I could have imagined, and the replacement shoes arrived less than 24 hours later. That I was able to get them in all purple, including laces, was just icing on the cake. In spite of the light weight, they also have great traction. Wonderful athletic shoe!

I saw these shoes at the store and had to try them on because they were so lightweight and breathable. As soon as I put them on and tried walking in them I was amazed. I wanted to run circles around in the store. They have the perfect amount of cushion, support and control. I hadn't read anything about them before today. Might be the last pair of running shoes I buy!

Love these shoes! Right out of the box ran 4 miles with no issues. Works great on road and treadmill. Ordered 1/2 size up and they fit perfectly. They are by far the most comfortable running shoes I've ever owned.

This is by far my favorite running shoe. I have a very high arch and it has the best support out of any running shoe I have had. I also ordered a half size up and it fit perfectly. I have also had major problems in the past with my IT-band while running but not with this shoe. What a great feeling to run pain free!

These are the ones! I opened the box (thanks Zappos for keeping the anticipation down to a mere 29 hours - how do you do that?!) and was not quite sure what I was looking at. They were a brighter green than shown in the photo, covered in this white 'netting' stuff, and completely 'holey'. I put them on and, Ahhhhh, perfect fit. I have an in between standard and narrow foot, medium to high instep, hard hitting left heel, and slight pronation. That said - I ordered 1/2 size larger than usual and the shoe is perfect. Great support and stability, and though I haven't run in them, I have spent several hours wearing them in my tiled kitchen, messing around on the back patio, and up and down several flights of steps. No foot or leg fatigue whatsoever. I want more! more! more! If only the other colors were a little more 'me.'

Great shoe, very comfortable! I love the slim look of it. It's the first shoe I've been able to feel the arch support in (I have high arches), and although I have narrow feet, the medium width works perfectly for me. I wear them for work - I stand/walk in them all day without discomfort. The only thing I would change would be to add a bit more cushion inside the shoe.

I got these for my daughter and she loves them. She thinks they fit perfectly and are very comfortable when she is running and gets the support she wants. Also, the speed of the delivery of the shoes was amazingly fast.

These are possibly the best running shoes I've ever owned. Just finished a half marathon over the weekend in them and have no complaints. The back of the heel comes up a bit high, so that took a couple of runs to get used to. The shoes are a great blend of comfort and cushion while still feeling very light (and fast!). Highly recommended. My only complaint is that the soles look to be wearing out a bit quickly - I put about 30-35 miles/week in them and I don't think they'll hold up terribly long. Nevertheless, I will purchase them again.

Love the Brooks Pure Connect. Very lightweight. I take a 7 1/2 shoe so I ordered an 8. Now, however, I wish I had ordered an 8 1/2. The 8 fits snug. I kept thinking they would be ok, but I wish I had exchanged them for the next size up.

These are fabulous shoes! This is my second pair. They fit like a glove and despite saying they are more minimalist in design, they have plenty of support. I have a high arch and they even support that! Besides the fit, I get compliments all the time on these from both men and women. I am guessing it is the color and the cool air dots.

Developed a case of plantar fasciitis about 3 weeks ago in my right foot. I've been wearing an arch support in my Brooks Adrenaline 12/Ravenna 2 which seems to help. I needed a minimalist shoe at the recommendation of my ortho foot doc. These are wonderful! I didn't have to wear the support while running today as the arch in this shoes is perfect! It is also like running on pillows and super light! Since the shoe is light, it is helping teach me to land on the front of my foot, and not to heel strick - which caused the plantar fasciitis. I bought a 1/2 size up which I haven't with my other Brooks, but it feels great and like a glove as others have said. Love it.

I love these shoes. I found them in the mall and they only had 8’s, which is my normal sneaker size. They felt great, except three middle toes rubbed the front of the shoe. I took them home anyway to see if I could get used to them. Nope. I checked on Zappos, found them, ordered them, and received them the next day. And have worn them every day since. I hate to take them off at night. I am not a runner, but I do everything else in them. Love these shoes. Good support. Good arch. And very cute.

I just got these in the mail yesterday and all I can say is wow! Super comfortable, lightweight and feel almost like socks on my feet instead of shoes. I have not run in them yet, but I did do a lot of walking in them (about 7 miles yesterday) and I didn't want to take them off my feet! Definitely order 1/2 size larger than what you usually wear, I normally wear an 8 and ordered and 8.5 and it fits perfectly! Zappos customer service was excellent as always and I am looking forward to running in these shoes now that the weather is nice! Do yourself a favor and order these shoes! You won't regret it!

Love these shoes! I've worn them several times now and bought a second pair for next season. They're for a more slender foot and were true to size. I wear an 8.5 in most tennis shoes really comfortable and flexible.

We can call it pure connect alright. There are super comfy for walking and especially short runs, I use them in the track for my training and they were perfect, light and foot enabled. By the way, Zappos as always awesome.

I love this shoe! I have never worn a pair of athletic shoes that felt so comfortable and light on the feet. I forget I have shoes on...seriously. Very well made and I love the ripple in the shoelaces which keeps them tied no matter what. I love the aqua and white color - and I hope to get another color soon. I have long narrow feet, and am tall - these shoes actually make my feet look smaller too, which is always a plus in my book!

Perfect right out of the box! So Comfy! Better than being barefoot! With all that being said, let me say that you cannot wear these in the mesa or rocky trail. Ouch! If you look at the bottom of the shoe before buying you will see why! Street/gym wear only! And don't step in any water. Yuck. But I love them, I want them in all the colors. Tons of compliments too!
