Retuned. I was a huge fan of brooks connect and am very disappointed they were discontinued. I bought these shoes as the reviews said they were similar. I wear these mostly for running but occasionally wear them to work. I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts mostly on my feet. My brooks connect left me with no foot aches after a 12 hour day. I wore these shoes for a week at work to break them it and my feet ached. They are not that comfortamble
