I bought a pair of the Pure Connect in size 11. I've put about 24 measly miles on them and am not happy with them at all. They are too soft and I can feel the weird way the sole is constructed on the balls of my feet. I am seriously considering giving them away.
Should I throw them in the donation bin at my local shop or give them to the first LRC bro who asks?
I'd love them. I'm interning and make no money. Where do you live? I'll pick them up if within 50 miles.
Orlando, FL.
The whole Pure series is a pile of trash. Brooks has really made a big mistake by ditching the Launch and the Green Silence for these terrible shoes. They've certainly chased me away from their brand.

I agree and disagree. The Launch and GS were both excellent models that should have been kept around.
I think the Pure series is a great middle ground, but has such a different feel that not everyone is going to like them (obviously).
I'll be honest, I love the PureFlos. I think they're super comfortable and the DNA/MOGO rubber mix is fascinating as well as protective.
Just hoping to give a pair of shoes to someone who might like them. A side note, I did run through some mud one day so I had to wash them out. Last I checked they smelled fine.
I should probably just throw them in the donation bin.
No! They're discontinuing the launch? That was such a great training shoe for me. Can anyone suggest anything similar?
