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!
The perfect running shoe!!! 10/10 the only cheviot is this is must try on in store shoe. I’m usually a size 10 women’s but 10.5 for running shoe. I needed up needing a size 9 in men’s. Fit *amazing* but never would have been able to figure out the size online.

These are my favorite long run shoe I’ve ever had. They are comfy, great at various paces, and keep my lower legs happy. I have a history of shin splints, and these have given me zero problems. Fantastic shoe. I just wish there were more colors so I could buy more!

I almost didnt get the Hyoerion 3 Max because of the reviews. Ive used (and worn out) the hyperion 2 max, glycerin stealth, glycerine GTS, and 3 pairs of Caldera. I tried the Adrenaline GTS, which totally messed up my knee after 3 uses (30 miles). It felt like they were tearing my meniscus. I think i am not built for a 12 heel toe drop. The Hyperion Max 3 is AWESOME!!! I mean COMPLETELY AWESOME!!! They feel lightweight and bouncy and I dont feel like I have to keep my feet further.Apart because of the wide base, because the base on these is more narrow. And it gives you the support that a g t s shoe does because of the weight that the upper kind of locks your foot in place. There's no side to side movement. Which I really need so that I don't get injured. When it's brand new, it can feel a little tight to get into.I just have to loosen up the laces, and the little loop on the back really helps get your foot in. I like that.My foot feels snug in the shoe and my toes can still move around. But my foot feels very secure in the shoe, and that is very important. After just one use, i could feel the cushioning start to repair the issue with my knee.That the other shoe had caused. It let my foot land on a cushioned surface. I couldn't even run in it at first because my knee was so hurt from the adrenaline. But it's been less than a week now and my knee is completely healed using the Hyperion Max 3. The cushioning is superb it is soft, and I would just like to thank the developers, because it does not feel like you're running on two foam bricks.Anymore like it did with the Hyperion Max 2. That feeling of walking on foam bricks is gone. I can also feel a major difference with the rocker plate.They put in there. The heel toe transitions are quick and seamless. It feels very natural. I normally hit center to back of foot on landing. In the very back corner of the shoe on the outer left, it needs a teeny, tiny bit more of a base, for those of us that sometimes hit more on the heel on the landing. It is so much better than the hyperion 2 max, though, because I always felt with that shoe that I had to keep my foot perfectly centered on landing. There is more room to land safely without compensating with the Hyperion 3 Max. It's so cushiony. It feels like you're walking and running on clouds without any bulk. It keeps your energy because the shoe does not feel heavy after you've been going for a while. It feels still springy and energetic. When I first put them on, I wanted to just jump and bounce. 😃 they are a really fun shoe! And not that this matters at all, but I never received a compliment with any running shoes before, and with these, i've had neighbors actually stop me.And tell me they love my shoes and ask me what they were. So if you are on the fence about these shoes, I could not recommend them more highly. I go ten to twelve miles per day minimum. I go through many brooks shoes. For me, these are the right balance of very cushioned, super soft landings, without any bulk. And for the record, I have a WIDE foot. The way that the opera is made Goes around your foot. Perfectly. It does not feel narrow. It does not feel tight. And my ankle stays firmly in place. my dress shoe is a 9.5 W or 10, and my Hyperion 3 Max is a 10 it is plenty wide and I have room in the toe box after 3 uses... the toe box stretched a tad. I love these shoes. LOVE!!!

I like these better than the Hyperion Max 2. The updated version feels softer but still feel very stable in the hindfoot. They may be a little heavier, but they still have a great forward propulsion. I have narrow to medium width feet and have issues with shoes with the voluminous toe boxes. They have a little more medial to lateral toe box room compared to the Max 2, but the toe box height seems shallow. This may be due to the protective toe cap? This may give the impression that they run short for the stated size. We need to see a darker color for this model...how about grey with a bright accent? Not everyone likes black (especially when wearing shorts)!!
