I too was a huge fan of the pure connect 4 and the pure flow 4. Then they got rid of the pure connect and introduced the garbage pure flow 5. That being said the new pure flow 6 has become my favorite shoe. It’s almost a blend of the pure connect 4 and the pure flow 4. I trained in them and raced 70.3’s and a marathon with no blisters or hot spots. Brooks also just released the Anthem which appears to be on the old platform and look a lot like the connect.
