Brook defyance 4 Best for Runners

Runner's World Awards: Editor's Choice Jan 2011

The Defyance is a soft, low-slung trainer ready for high-mileage days or tempo runs. Built on the sole of last year's Adrenaline GTS (minus the firm support post), this update is flexible yet firm underfoot and snug in the heel. The upper provides a secure, articulated wrap through the arch that testers absolutely raved about. A few didn't like the lack of forefoot cushioning—a result of the shoe's low profile. Recommended for beginners or any runner looking for a versatile training shoe.
