After weeks of reading reviews and blogs I decided on Brooks Defyance 4's as my new running shoe. Naturally, my size was next to impossible to find, so I bought the Defyance 5's without a single review being read. I hoped Brooks would improve on an already good shoe and I believe they did. These are hands down the best running shoes I have ever owned. I have only put a little over 20 miles on them so far, but they have exceeded my expectations. The fit is perfect and they are very comfortable!

I have been looking for neutral running shoes that are comfortable on my feet but built solid for an older runner with lower leg issues. I have found that shoe in the Defyance 5. The shoe has a very comfortable upper that does not rub on the side of my feet or pinch. As long as Brooks makes these shoe I will buy them from Zappos!

Been a fan of the Defyance line since I first ran in the 3's. The change in cushioning material (from Hydroflow to BioMoGo/DNA) is strikingly noticeable, and while it felt strange at first, after a few runs, I definitely came to prefer it. The other significant difference is that I seem to be landing more on the mid-foot as opposed to heel striking with these.

Bought these for my husband, he's put them on and has wore them everyday and hasn't said a word after the first day, honey, I like my shoes, thanks. Enough for me.

I do like Brooks shoes. This is the 3rd pair I have owned and by far the best for me. I am a low mileage runner (about 15 miles per week). But I went from Dyad to Ghost to Defyance and these are just about perfect for me.
