Comments about Brooks Defyance Road-Running Shoes - Women's:

I usually love Brooks but I was suprisingly unimpressed with the Defyance. Hardly any support or cushion, boxy fit, and they feel like they broke down immediately. I can't even wear these casually b/c they hurt my feet. I'd just recommend buying the Adrenaline instead if you want support but not so much cushion.
