[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first pair of Brooks Hyperion shoes. Right out of the box these shoes impressed. Obviously with Brooks quality, durability and reliability are going to be high. These shoes are different than other Brooks running shoes. I'd say more performance than casual running shoes. For me they are ideal training shoes. The big, super light foam sole is the first thing that got my attention. Trying them on the colors we're nice and bright. The upper and sock liner are really well made. The shoe fits well, I am a 9 in most athletic shoes and these fit perfectly. The tongue has a nice pull tab so it can be easily adjusted for comfort without having to work your foot or tie or untie laces. These shoes give excellent firm support to the whole foot and at the same time great cushion and bounce. Trying them on I thought they might be too firm especially since I run on my toes but breaking them in and wearing them a long runs they are comfortable and transition smoothly over different terrains keeping my feet really comfortable, feeling fully supported and cradled in the shoe adding the cushion and bounce these push me to a faster running pace and a faster starting breakout. Overall, I would say these are high quality performance shoes. I think dedicated and faster runners will really like the Hyperion 3.
