Great for running and walking

Originally posted on Home Tester Club

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall a solid shoe for running and walking! The new Hyperion max 3 provides support, a natural feel while still being light. I would highly recommend this shoe. I previously used the ghost max 3 and had to switch over to the new hyperions and it was a major upgrade!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are by far my favorite running shoes out there right now. I'm currently on my second pair! I personally love the style of the tongue so you don't have to worry about it moving. They are a little snug though so size up!

Amazing trainers very supportive just size up

These are very supportive and very cushioned. I got them as I have a hip injury which sometimes needs more support than the average trainer. If you look at their measurements you will see they are small. I always wear a 5 everywhere but I needed a 5.5 with these per their measurements.

Running on Clouds

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the look of this shoe and the overall comfort. It feels like you are running on pillows. My problem is my feet are not stable and the stack height mixed with the trampoline-like cushioning made me feel unstable in these at times of fast running and turns. I purchased a 6.5 size shoe but my left big toe kept jamming in to the front I even put strings in the back hole which usually takes care of this issue, but in this case it did not. I feel like they run true to size so I am not sure why this was such a problem with this pair. Other than my issues, I liked the feel overall and wished these would have worked out better for me.

Hyperion Max 3s are the best shoe ever

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hyperion Max 3 are the best running shoes ever. The way they hold the heel in place with no movement Is superior. The loop to pull them on. The comfort, the cushion, no pain and I go ten to twelve miles a day, 7 days a week. (Its the dogs doing, hes my personal trainer :)) No hip, knee or back pain. Ever, unless theyre losing cushion and then I know its time for a new pair. I just tried the Hyperion Max 4, since it looks like they are phasing out the Max 3 version, and my ankles have sore spots, my heel moves in the 4's, the tongue moves even when tied tight, and they feel ... squishy.... not reboudy... The 4s do have a nice toe off, and the upper around the toe is slighty softer. But the Hyperion Max 3's are the best shoe ever. PLEASE DO NOT STOP MAKING THE 3'S!! And bring back better colors again like orange and the bright blue with pink you used to have. Bright colors. Not lemon yellow or white. Thanks!

Like the cushion and "bounciness" of shoes. Shoes give a certain energy while wearing them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shoes, I like the way they fit snug on the food almost like a sock. They are responsive and work great for easy and tempo run, downside is the height which could lead to instability. I got a 1/2 size bigger than normal 5.5>5, which I think helps with the comfortability.

Great for Walking/Jogging

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shoes. I am older and walk/jog 3 to 4 miles when I get the chance, and these shoes make it a lot easier for me to do that. I love the fit and comfort. I usually wear a size 10 and ordered them in a 10.5 and glad I did, the fit was just right. Will buy again in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really, REALLY wanted to like these, but they just didn't work out for me. I am usually a true 10 medium in women's, but my toe hit the top; it was also a pretty snug fit. I wanted something that would give me some good energy return/bounce, and it delivered! I took it out for a short 2 mile easy-pace jog and I kept winding up going faster than I meant to. I also wanted that cushion feel, which seems to be more concentrated in the heel. I'm a mid-sole striker, so that softness in the heel didn't benefit me; it actually made me feel less stable. These were suppose to replace my Hoka Clifton 7s, so I'm use to a tall sole, but the height on these is very noticeable, and they seemed narrow/wobbly. After my test run (on flat roads and sidewalks), I had blisters on both my Achilles, and lots of soreness in my ankles, quads and hips. I love the color and really wanted these to work for me, but ultimately, I decided to return them.

Not a fan

Originally posted on brooksrunning.com

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tried these shoes wanting a shoe with more spring to it for running/HYROX. I’ve been wearing the glycerins. The cushion on the shoe is nice but I am not a fan of the sock/knit style of these. Even with sizing up they felt snug and I was having pain in my shins even after just a short trial run which I’ve never had with brooks shoes. Returning to try the max 4 since they look like they improved the style of the shoe.
