A few months back, I posted a first impression and some pics of Brooks Running's PureConnect running shoe. After a good amount of testing, I wrote a full review of my impressions on Wired.com. Take a look.
The minimalist running-shoe market has exploded over the past year or
two, with almost every footwear manufacturer rushing out a line of
barefoot-inspired running shoes to feed the public’s interest.
Brooks Running, by contrast, has taken its sweet time. The company
has only recently introduced a line of minimalist shoes for runners.
Actually, minimalist is a bit of a misnomer here. The shoes in Brooks’ PureProject line provide a noticeable amount of cushioning when compared to other more bare-bones examples on the market. But the PureConnect road running shoe isn’t necessarily supposed to approximate the feel of running barefoot.
