Customer Reviews Brooks Hyperion Elite 5

Great & very comfortable to run with. Best pairs of running shoes.

These shoes are super comfortable! They fit my narrow feet perfectly. I might suggest going up 1 full size instead of half size though. The color is vibrant and fun!

Overall a good shoe. The fit feels different than what Im used to. The Hyperion elite PBs were my ultimate favs and these have some common traits but had to half size down because they felt too big and I was sliding. Im sure Ill get used to them after a few good runs.

This is a good, light racing shoe.

I am jumping back in to marathon training. Typically at this early stage my legs are quite sore after a training run but I barely even notice with these shoes. They are so extremely lightweight and the cushion makes running feel effortless. Full transparency I am a slow runner but these have gotten me going at 1mph + faster average than I could typically go starting out again.

Ultra light, excellent cushioning! These shoes are fast! I am 45 and have done two runs, both under 6:45 pace comfortably, which is faster than my normal pace by about 30 seconds.

I like these shoes for races. They are lightweight and responsive. I think they fit well and are very comfortable from the first time even with a half marathon distance. They dont seem to rub like some of the shoes do with longer miles.

Fantastic shoe my marathon competition. Well done Brooks.

Great show. Cushion is more responsive than ever- Brooks best innovation yet. The carbon plate is snappy and helps me maintain my stride at race paces from the 5k to the marathon. Glove like fit and striking colors make this shoe my favorite.

Love these shoes! After knee surgery, they provide the support and cushioning I need!

This is hands down the best race day shoe Ive ever ran, in well worth the money!

Great for running and walking!!

I love how light these are. I thought Id like for my marathon but I can only make it about 16 miles making them perfect for a half marathon. These do run large and in normally size up a half a size for long runs but for these I went with my true size.

Finally took the jump and tried my first pair of super shoes and I couldnt be happier! Loved the feel of these. As a previous Hyperion user, they just felt more elevated. Ran a half marathon in them and not only ran a great time but recovered well.

Amazing shoe, feels like you are running in a bubble, it feels the bouncy and power that the shoe gives to your pace and the confort to complete miles and miles in the fast way.

Comfortable and cool. Fastest mile splits I have ever run. Super light and bouncy shoe.

This shoe makes me feel like Im running in high heels. I cant stand it. I even switched back to the older model I have which has a bit of mileage on it for my races because I just couldnt get used to it.

The best Brooks yet! I am running like I was years ago. The spring in the step and comfort is up there. I hope they keep them around for awhile

Incredibly comfortable shoe. With that said, I have only run 6 miles in them and the soles have begun to wear through.

I love the looks of the shoe, but when I got them, they had no support. I have a very flat foot and there was just no arch support in them.

Went to the Pinellas Trail Challenge ULTRA on 8/30/25. I ran comfortably 38 miles for up to 8 hours in the Brooks Elite. My times improved... it was comfortable. No issues. I tightened the laces to the last loop with no issues of them getting loose or un-tying during my pushes. I would attribute all the right choices with crew and this shoe to help me be 8th on the top 10 female finishers out of 250 entrants and 35th overall. I would recommend this shoe when looking into plates and comfortable running shoes for marathons and ultra's.

very cushioned for my run...except...i wish it had more material in top toe area and more height and support for the ankle area

Theres a flaw in this shoe or at least for my set because an internal clicking has occurred and I havent worn them for many runs. I may have bought this a couple months ago, but every step, the left shoe CLICKS. Its frustrating as I have never had this issue with Brooks and its been almost 10 years with your brand.

Light and responsive, just ran my second 5k in these. Only running 1 race a month these should last me until the next version comes out!

Excellent shoe for race day!! Super light and comfortable! Love the shoe definitely not a daily trainer but dont believe that was the intent ! Cant wait for my next race day
