I’ve run in the Hyperion Max for several years now. I tried the Max 3, and there is a plastic piece at the top of the shoelace that digs into my foot/ankle. I had to stop wearing them because it was too painful.

Brooks hit the mark with the Hyperion 3 Max!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best running shoe I’ve ever ran in. I loved the Hyperion Max 2, these are certainly a huge step up. I worn them for a half marathon, a 14 mile run, and some other base runs and got about 45 miles so far and they feel amazingly comfortable. I ordered 1 size up as I have always done with any Brooks running shoe for the past 7 years. These have Great Cushion, and my feet feel great after every run! I’ve set some PRs; it seems like every run turns into some person record. Buy these, thank me later!

Great shoe for medium to long runs!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hyperion Max 3 feels almost completely different than the Hype Max 2. The new mesh top side of the shoe feels like a glove/sock and is very stretchy. The shoelaces are there to sort of just keep that in place a little more than the way you normally use shoelaces to keep your shoe on. It feels like the shoe runs a little bigger than the previous ones as the length from heel to toe feels a litttle bit longer. I almost thought about returning and getting a size down, but would rather have a little long than to short. Once you get moving in the shoe, it is a very comfortable and springy shoe. The foot turnover feels easier than the Hype Max 2 and I have noticed it seems to be easier to run faster and longer with these. All and in, great upgrade from the Hype Max 2s.

Great tempo and speed work shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great speed day shows when you want to push the tempo. A great speed day shoe I am using with my Glycerin 23’s equals the perfect combo.

Almost awesome
Loved the feel of this shoe. It’s stiff in the sole and luxuriously cushioned. Really comfortable except 2 things: there’s a tighter band in the shoe that comes across the top of my foot. I could use a looser band. There’s a piece of foam that digs into the side of my ankle below the bone and it irritates me. For those two reasons I’m sending them back.
The tongue in the shoe is very thin and odd at first but once you adjust it’s not a big deal. Super comfortable shoe but the foam pressing into the side of my ankle is a deal breaker. Sad to send them back but would rather have my money.

Perfect for taller runners
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm 6'5" and 195lbs, and I just finished a 450mi training block with a 3:19:00 marathon in these shoes.
Being a bigger runner, these shoes offered just the right amount of spring while also supporting me for consistent mileage through ought my training and my race. If you're tall like me, these are a safe option for balancing speed and stability over high mileage.
