I wanted to love these and I will say that it is a really cool and FAST shoe! Hyperion and Ghosts have been my go-to shoes for 10+ years. These are WAY too tight for my feet. My feet are average and aren't too wide or narrow. I wear a size 8 and think maybe I should have sized up to an 8.5 or 9? Putting them on was difficult and my toes were super jammed and bruised post (12 mile) long run. I recommend these if you have narrow feet or size up. I unfortunately returned these, but Brooks is still my number one running shoe.

It Could Be Better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let me start by saying that I've been a brooks fan for a long time. Although, I must admit that I've been running on HOKA's Cielo x1 (race day) and the Mach x 2 (training) for the past year. I was shopping around for a new pair and wanted to give these a try. They "kinda" look the same. Both are high stack shoes with a midsole cut; forefoot rocker and carbon fiber plate, in Brooks case - a nylon speedvault propulsion plate. The added bonus on several reviews I've read was the Hyperion Max 3 is a more durable and suitable trainer for long runs. It called out to me. I love the shoe, it lines me just right from my foot going up my body. It gives me a sense of stability and protection (even for high stack shoe) on either a fast or moderate pace . The one draw for me is they don't feel as cushioned. My legs feel as if took a beating after long runs.

Best Recovery Shoes

after a broken toe surgery and 2 nails for 6 weeks my doctor suggested really comfortable shoes with a lot of cushioning, im SOO glad i choose brooks. These have been so helpful and probably the best part of my recovery!!

Super Speedy And Strong!

These shoes are truly magical! I have been wearing them for all my speed work runs the last several weeks and they make running faster feel SO MUCH easier! I haven’t worn them for a long run yet but I plan to this weekend as well as for my half marathon at the end of October. These shoes are comfortable, feel bouncy and help make me feel SO strong as a runner. I will definitely be buying another pair of these soon!

Hyper Speedy To The Max!

LOVE THIS SHOE! Initial size was too small. I tried them on in store and it felt right but I could feel my toes going a bit numb towards the end of 8 mile runs. I also got a blister on my lateral ankle. Went a half size up (which is my usual size) and they're great! VERY bouncy and so light! They have a slight rocker feel but not to much. They could use a bit more traction in wet conditions but transition between paces pretty well and are so fun to run in!
