First Timer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently picked up my first pair of elite carbon-plated running shoes—the Hyperion Elite 5—and wow, these things are impressive. The moment I slipped them on, the cushioning stood out. They’re incredibly soft underfoot, almost like running on clouds, but without feeling mushy or unstable.
Out on the road, they’re genuinely fun to run in. The combination of lightweight construction and responsive foam gives each stride a smooth, springy feel. I’ve noticed a measurable performance boost as well—my pace has improved by about 10 to 15 seconds per mile, which is something I could feel even on the very first run.
Overall, the Hyperion Elite 5 delivers a great mix of comfort, speed, and energy return. If you’re looking for a shoe that makes your training runs feel easier and your faster efforts feel more efficient, this is a pair worth trying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shoe makes me feel like I’m running in high heels. I can’t stand it. I even switched back to the older model I have which has a bit of mileage on it for my races because I just couldn’t get used to it.

Great shoe, very light and springy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was running in the Hyperion GTS for a couple of years with great success unfortunately this shoe has been discontinued. I decided to try the Hyperion Elite 5, unfortunately the tongue on the right shoe was a little stiff and caused pain on that part of my foot. I still have pain as a result of this. I loosened the laces to see if that worked but then my heel kept slipping. I had to return the shoes. I might order another pair to give it another try, my pace greatly improved with this shoe. I don't understand why the Hyperion GTS was discontinued, please bring this shoe back!!

Light weight competiton worthy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son felt these helped improve his performance on the track. Based on what we saw and his coach saw, these were definitely an investment we'll make over and over again. He also complained less about the stress on his joints.
