    Featuring plenty of feel, flex and response, the Brooks PureConnect 2 women's road-running shoes feature a minimalist platform that connects you with the ground.

    • Lightweight uppers feature highly breathable polyester mesh and a rubber instep band to provide a comfortable, secure fit regardless of foot shape
    • Ideal Heel design uses a curved heel to encourage foot contact points to shift you forward, helping align joints and reduce stresses
    • Midsoles feature BioMoGo polymer alloy foam, which provides cushioning, energy return and reduced foot fatigue; nontoxic additive helps midsoles break down in landfill
    • 4mm heel-to-toe drop encourages a more natural midfoot or forefoot strike
    • Split toe groove under the forefoot enables the big toe to function independently and helps encourage natural balance
    • Low-profile rubber outsoles grip well on the road, sidewalk and gentle trails
    • Designed on an anatomical last, Brooks PureConnect 2 minimalist running shoes contour to the feet, providing a glovelike fit
    • All-synthetic construction makes these vegan-friendly

    Imported.

        Comments about Brooks PureConnect 2 Road-Running Shoes - Women's:

        This is my second pair of PureConnect shoes. At first, I was concerned that the redesign would not be as comfortable. Turns out, that was unfounded. Even though these are a barefoot style of running shoe, they have great arch support. I have high arches, and I struggle with finding shoes that provide enough support. Overall, I am really happy.

          This was my first pair of minimalist shoes! I LOVE THEM! So comfortable and lightweight. Great on the treadmill and on the road. I'm 200+ miles in with them - and they still feel amazing when I slip them on.

            Comments about Brooks PureConnect 2 Road-Running Shoes - Women's:

            This is a super lightweight sneaker that is great for the road or packed trail. I use a different sneaker for hard core trail runs. Support so that foot strikes on towards the toes first and not the heels. This shoe has retrained my running motion and I have shaved off a good 1-1.5 off my mile and I don't feel like I am working so hard.

                Comments about Brooks PureConnect 2 Road-Running Shoes - Women's:

                These shoes are extremely comfortable. I've been a barefoot style runner for several years now and these are a great option for winter running with good traction and still lightweight and neutral. Be careful, they do not run true to size. Size up 1/2 from normal and RUN FAST!
