Brooks  Hyperion Max 3 Road-Running Shoes - Men's

As a very heavy beginning runner I absolutely love the Hyperion Max 3. They fit true to size for me, and I loved the snug sock-like fit that gave such a great heel lockdown for me. They felt stable, protective, and well cushioned without feeling too mushy at slow paces. At faster paces the nylon plate and rocker really made it come alive. I'm a VERY slow runner but first time I ran in these I broke every PB within my 4.5 mile run. Only negative thing I can say is that although I really liked the laces, I wish they were longer to accommodate the higher volume of my feet. One last thing, maybe it's because I'm heavier runner but they did not feel heavy to me as I've heard and read in many reviews, they felt just perfect.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fit of the shoe was nice and snug. The size 14 fit perfectly. The feel of the shoe felt well balanced and comfortable. The design of the shoe was unique, innovative, and provided great support when walking and running. The fabric was thin, lightweight, and breathable while exercising. I liked the feel and the texture of the fabric. I really enjoyed the form and function of the rubber sole as it provided a smooth transition of balance when both walking and running. It alleviated any pressure from the front of the foot compared to traditional shoes. I would change the tongue of the shoe to be a little more sturdy when placing the foot in the shoe. It tended to crumple and bend often which required some time adjusting.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes feel fast, which is fantastic. The cushion is plush, and the look is so sweet. My problem though is I need more of a stability shoe for running and when I ran with this, I felt like I was going to roll my ankle just about anytime I wasn’t on perfectly flat open concrete. All of that to say, if you’re somebody who needs a stability shoe, follow the ratings that Brooks provides on their products!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband was the lucky one to test these out. He didn't tell me that he would be using these with his insoles so I ordered his normal size 11. He still did try them on without the insoles in and the uppers were so tight that they were crushing his toes at the front. I ended up using the ice trick and they're now the perfect fit, so the material does have some give. He runs relatively short distances as a part of his regular cardio and likes these shoes a lot better than any of his other running shoes so far: Asics and New Balance of various models. It's been getting warmer here and he hasn't mentioned being too warm or sweating noticably. He also loves the super bright orange - it is BRIGHT! My husband usually gets arch pain on his left foot but hasn't had that when running in these shoes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These shoes met most of my expectations for a comfortable and supportive running shoe. The cushioning and support was amazing, but I feel like it could have slight more cushion given its name of “Hyperion Max” - I almost expected absolute maximum cushioning. The only thing I would change is the amount of space in the toe box. The fabric often rubbed against my toenails and made it a little uncomfortable toward the end of my run. The design was very modern and had a safe and reflective color that made me feel secure running during the day and night. Additionally, the color helped me keep track of where I would step if it was dark outside. The knit fabric kept my feet snuggly in place and allowed for some breathability. The mesh also offered enough breathability to help make my run more comfortable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Comfortable shoe. Very light for the amount of cushion you get. The DNA Gold foam is very responsive and has one of the best energy return feels out there. I love the sock fit upper, fits very snug and isn’t bulky or hot. My biggest complaint is the cut out on the outsole. The location makes this shoe feel unstable and makes me feel like I am fighting an aggressive pronation. This causes me to unintentionally alter my stride thus leading to poor form. Love the shoe, just wish that cutout was more centered to provide a bit more of a stable feel

Bout these about a month ago and have put 200km into them. On the good side, the new sock like opening is exceptional, giving good heel lock. A real upgrade. The midsole is also very responsive. However, the outsole has already worn through in places after only 200km. The new laces are terrible and too short. There is way too much material in the tongue which means it all gathers up under the laces. Couldn't recommend.

These are not my first brooks and they won’t be my last!I will start off by saying the Shoe runs narrow and snug for me and I had to send back the first pair and go 1/2 size bigger . (I got the first blister ever on my heel running after 17 yrs.) I do have slightly wider feet but My previous pair of Hyperion max 2 was a Perfect fit in the toe box , overall width and length .(I also miss the comfortable tongue plus the lock down from saw tooth laces ) Now for the good stuff ! Love the energy return underfoot even for slower easy runs and picking up the pace the shoe responds very nicely .Feet definitely feel fresher after longer runs of 10+miles AND the next day . I don’t mind the higher stack (if you are running in relatively straighter lines) …but don’t expect to take tight turns at faster paces , the lack of lateral stability will definitely be noticeable. I’ll be using as daily trainers . More colors please !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband loves these running shoes. He has about 50 pair of running shoes for all different mileage and these are his long distance running “go to” shoes. We just ran the Marine Corps Marathon and he wore these… not one single complaint. He loves them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im really loving the Hyperion Max 3 sneakers by Brooks. My feet feel great during and after my daily run and they have just the right amount of cushion. My new go-to running sneaker. Plus, I love the bright color — perfect for summer and my night runs.
