Details & care

The last and wide toe box are designed great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really haven't actually run in them yet but the last hyperion were great. As a coach I have to stock pile my running shoes. I am also a competitive runner as well.

Dec 29, 2025
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely disappointed in the fit of the new Hyperion Max 3. I had really bad plantar pain within the first 5 minutes of running with them. I pushed through and ran 3 miles the first day and 5 the next, but had to stop multiple times due to the discomfort and pain. Besides the plantar pain, the shoe feels unsteady and my right foot rolled a few times - feels like the increase in foam and thickness makes the shoe feel very unsteady.
I am a 7.5 and always order a half size up on running shoes, but the increase size didn’t make any difference in the feel.
I was excited to try them since I ran two half marathons and a full marathon with the Hyperion Max 2 and LOVED those shoes. This new version is definitely not a good fit for me.
I will be returning them.

Tight but magical
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have narrow feet, usually a 6.5, but these were way too tight. The support around the ankles was very painful. I assumed this was due to the length, which is unusual for me—I normally need to go down to 6. I went up to size 7, and they fit perfectly! I was relieved because they seemed to be such high-performance shoes. I have a high arch, and the plate in the sole is super supportive. I can only comfortably wear thin workout socks with these, and the mesh is very thin, so you see the sock through it - but I plan to use them only for the gym, so it shouldn't be a problem. I would not use these as my main outdoor street/sidewalk running shoes.

Painful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Maybe for someone else’s feet these would work. I tried them three separate times. The first run I knew I didn’t like them, but I wanted to give them a second chance. Second run I hit my 5k PR so I knew they were fast. I convinced myself to keep them at that point, but then they gave me shin splints/
Plantar fasciitis on my third try. I have been dealing with constant pain since.. had to go buy two new pairs of shoes to help recover.

Good Long Runs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only used them for a couple of runs, including two 14 milers. It took a mile or two for my foot to settle in and get comfortable with my gait. I am a heel striker transitioning to a midfoot, once my foot figured out how to do that in this shoe, we were good to go. My legs were not so tired after my longer runs. I will mention that because the shoe is breathable, I had to wear a slightly heavier sock because it is very cold here, but I can see them being perfect in warmer weather.
