I am contemplating getting a pair as I like the feel of green silences (i.e. light and flexible) but would like a bit more cushioning to use for training on long runs.
What people experiences are with the flow vs connect? Have been looking at cadence too (good review in recent RW) but I am a neutral runner

THANKS!!
First run today - total heaven for first 5k, but even though I have been a midfoot striker for some time, they really bring the landing point even forward - result is you feel you're floating, but the calfs were killing me in the soceond half of my 6M run.
I should have listened to good advice and started with a shorter run as they clearly need adaptation period, but otherwise am really excited about them.
Comfortable like old slippers, no rubbing issues at all.
My experience with them is that my calfs never felt better even after my marathon a few weeks ago in them. I assumes it may be because the lower heel allowed my calfs to stretch out fully.
SSLHP perhaps you had been forefoot striker even before getting into cadence so it was not a problematic transition. I am sure for me it's just a matter of getting used to it, but other than that they really feel great. I haven't tried cadence in the shop as was told I should go for neutral, but did a trial run in pure connects - they felt strange and quite stiff.
I love, love, love my pure flows the perfect shoes for me. I'm working up to buying my third pair. I used to have knee problems until I worked on my form to become a midfoot striker and the Pureflows really help that.
Best shoes ever. Ever!
