OverviewWINNER! Runner's World awarded the Defyance its "Editor's Choice" award in its Summer 2008 Shoe Review. This award reinforces what many of us already know: for neutral runners, the Defyance is the best thing since sliced bread. You see, Defyance die-hards make up somewhat of a cult following. We love the glove-like fit, famous feel, and smooth heel-to-toe transition. Because we are the biomechanically efficient, we need just a touch of control to keep natural pronation in check. The full-length MoGo cushioning has been third-party tested to prove that it provides a 40% increase in cushioning, 22% more energy return, and 33% less fatigue. The Dual Density injected unit in the midfoot uses multiple compounds that deliver a tuned ride balancing support and torisional balance with responsiveness and smooth foot-motion transfer. Combine that with Paradox 3 Layer upper construction for breathable, wicking comfort that is windproof and waterproof and the Cush Pod Midsole that works with the outsole to set the foot up in an efficient, balanced position, and you’ve got one amazing shoe.
