[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.

Too tight at the ankles
I loved the Hyperion Max 2 and was sold that these were my race shoes. But the Max 3 upgrades are horrible. They feel tight and cause numbness when I am running at pace speeds due to the ankle constriction. So bad that I have looked for max 2’s leftover or another shoe to try. I super disappointed in this upgrade.

Good but will definitely be great after ordering size up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved these shoes so much but after reading reviews I ordered my usual shoe size and definitely should have sized up a high size maybe even whole size. They shredded my heels with massive blisters after one use and I had to return them and will be ordering a bigger size. The cushion is awesome and I like the “sock like” fit of the ankle, loved the support, loved the colors but just way too small.

Disappointing Upgrade
I was really excited to try these at first. I’ve been running in the Hyperion Max for years and have always loved them. I’ve used them for multiple Olympic triathlons, half marathons, and marathons without ever having issues—they’ve consistently been great for both training and racing.
Unfortunately, the Hyperion Max 3 has been a completely different experience. I’ve tried them multiple times, and each run resulted in significant pain and swelling in my arches. Anything beyond a 5K left my feet sore for days afterward.
I ended up going back to the Hyperion Max 2, which continues to work perfectly for me. I really hope you bring that version back.

Amazing upgrade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wide, flat feet that tend to pronate and these are so comfortable! Currently training for my first full with these and plan to order another pair for race day. I ran most of my half marathons last year in the Hyperion 2, so I already loved the model but these are a huge improvement in bounce and responsiveness. I usually am a 9 but I do feel like I may try ordering a 9.5 next time as my big toes do hit the sides a bit in the 9s. Definitely recommend 😍
