Ease of use
ummm... really?
Quality of Construction
2nd pair, just starting my 3rd pair
each of the previous have had about 450-500 miles.
1st pair I retired because of smell
2nd pair I retired because I decided that I needed a bit more forefoot padding after the last 1/2 marathon
Fit
Solid fit. The toe box comment is accurate. Occasionally I will forget to wear my skinny socks and my toes start to go to sleep after 5-6 miles
Comfort
Very comfortable!
My second pair - (still rev 1) felt a little weird for the first 200 miles, I emailed Brooks and they saw no anomoolies in the production line.
Adjustability
I traditionally replace the shoelaces with Yankz so, I guess that they are adjustable. WIth the current rev. of the Connects, I am not sure if that will be an option.
Durability
450-500 miles on each pair
Value
Solid value for the money! Way cheaper than what I used to pay for control shoes.
Appearance
LOVED the bright orange!
Customer Service
Very solid. I've emailed Brooks a few times, and they have always gotten back to me so, I'm pretty happy with them.
Performance
I have been very happy with them. I have not run more than a marathon in them so, I don't know if they would be my ultra shoes of choice but, good for Ironman's, marathons and below.
Strengths
Longevity! Very comfy!
Weakness
Toe box could be a bit wider. I am not a heal striker and would NOT recommend these for someone who is!
