    Max Support

    3 days ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried the Ghost, Adrenaline and Glycerin and loved all of them, however, the Defyance Max gives you all the light weight support with a great heel to toes transition. If you are on your feet all day these sneakers will help get through the shift.

    Support And Comfort

    a month ago
    These shoes were incredibly comfortable straight out of the box. No “breaking in” needed. Supportive with the right amount of cushion. Not too squishy, not too firm.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Weird fit.

    a month ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cushioning and stability of these shoes are good, but the overall fit is weird. They seem too long in length, but the arch is in the right place for me in the size I got. I know if I were to size down by 1/2 a size, the arch would be too far back and my toes would feel squished. The other issue I had with these is that the tongue rubbed my ankle on my right foot and the tongue was noticeable higher up on my foot. I don't usually experience those kind of fit issues with Brooks running shoes in my usual size so I was surprised to experience that with these. I wore them twice for days I was on my feet a lot and my feet and back felt good at the end of the day so I think if Brooks were to fix these minor issues with the overall fit and the upper parts of the shoe these could be really great.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe has been a game changer for me. I suffer with plantar fasciitis and have tried many different shoes and custom inserts none of them hsve worked but the Brooks have changed my life

    Comfy Sneaker

    Brooks are my favorite sneakers. This style is very comfortable and true to size. Like walking on a cloud. The color has more of a grey hue to the white. Not a bright white. Wearing with my spring jeans and lightweight joggers.

    Yes, I recommend this product.

    Defiance Max

    I love how comfortable, light, and supportive these are. They are very soft so I can wear them all day, from hard lifting sessions to all day at work. The only thing I would say is that these are not meant for people with wide feet. If you have narrow feet, these are for you! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

    Dependable Running Shoe

    a month ago
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Brooks Defyance is a solid, dependable running shoe for runners who want comfort and stability without complicated technology. While it may not be the flashiest option on the market, it excels as a reliable daily trainer for consistent mileage and everyday comfort.
