[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.

Favorite Running Shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best running shoe, ever! So much more comfortable than the Elite. I love the cushion and spring-y-ness of this shoe. Just ran a half-marathon, and it was super comfortable throughout training and the race.

Comfort, front propulsion, no heel slippage, major cushion; great looks!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent! I sized up from 8 to 8.5 for my orthotics, and it’s a perfect fit for me. Due to the inside the heel cushioning, I feel these Brooks are sized one half size short, so size up a half size. I wasn’t sure I’d like the inside the heel cushions at first. They took a few times out getting used to them, but now I love the way they hug my heel and keep in from moving about inside the shoes. No slippage. Great feature! I bought the bright crimson and they are a showstopper. I get lots of comments on their comfort due to the high rocker sole. The transfer while fast walking and running is excellent, and it truly does propel me quicker with less effort. At 72, any little help is appreciated. I look forward to my daily 3-5 mile walk runs, and these keep my knees from hurting at all. Really love that!!Plenty of toe wiggle room, which is important to me, and why I switched to Brooks. Just picked up my fourth pair. Hyperion Max 3 are my fave’s so far.

Great shoe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really happy with the Brooks Hyperion Max 3. They’re super comfortable right out of the box, and the lightweight feel makes running in them feel easy and natural. The cushioning has a great spring to it—responsive without being too soft—so each step feels smooth with a nice bit of bounce.
I’m currently coming back from a meniscus root repair and just started running again, and these have been perfect for getting back into it. They’re supportive without feeling heavy, and the smooth, springy ride gives me a lot more confidence as I build my strength and mileage back up. Definitely a solid choice if you want something light, comfortable, and responsive.
