Don’t hesitate to buy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Obsessed with these shoes….completely obsessed. I have ran two races in them so far and had a 20 minute PR in my marathon and 6 min PR in my half Marathon. they are comfortable and better than the Nike alphyflys.

[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.

Race day shoe!
Have been through multiple generations of the Hyperion and each time they get speedier! Trained and ran a marathon in these so they definitely are versatile. That being said, they run smaller than other Hyperions and I had to size up 0.5 size from 8W to 8.5W to get enough room in the toebox. Minimal chafing, although there is a stiffer portion of the toebox right where the big toe is. This caused me some discomfort when breaking them in. Another note is that (like with many other Brooks shoes), they lasted me about 300 miles and did not have much tread left at the end :) Overall, solid shoe and I already bought a second pair for speed workouts!

Completely different running experience
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They fit perfect and I wore them right out of the box for a decent run and had no “break in period”. No friction spots, soft upper, sole is like a cloud and with the sole and carbon plate, they are so responsive. I feel like o have a quicker stride and turnover. I’ve been a Brooks wearer for decades and these are THE most comfortable shoes I’ve ever run in. But, I have only worn them for a couple of speed workouts. I am saving them for my marathon.

Running Happy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite running shoes I’ve ever worn. I am prone to shin and Achilles issues and these shoes have kept my lower legs happy for 350 miles so far!

Overall pretty good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a pretty good shoe
I wanted a good shoe that would give me cushion and is speedy and this is pretty much all I wanted. The only thing is that it’s super tall and it doesn’t have that much stability, so if your prone to roll your ankle this is not your shoe, if you roll your ankle this will hurt bad because how tall it is.

Fantastic - just not for me and my pronation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the shoe - comfortable and fast, but just not enough stability for my pronation issues
