Customer Reviews Brooks Hyperion Elite

I became a huge fan of the Nike Alphafly & Vaporfly and then they became impossible to get before selling out. Searched and read many reviews of alternatives closest to the Nike's and these had great feedback. Bought along with 2 pairs of the Saucony's which also had positive comments, but sent both them back in favor of the Brooke's. I was actually able to subsequently get the Nike's and have to say I may prefer the Brooke's now. Great, light, supportive shoe. If you are comparing to the Alpha/Vaporfly they are much firmer as opposed to the trampoline experience. But, so light and easier on the calves because of the support. Happy running!

I bought these to run a couple of fall marathons that I am entered for. I went on a short 5 mile run and they are so lite on your feet, barley felt like I had shoes on. I plan on one more training run with them before putting them away for fall marathons. These are not an everyday training shoe, but a true racing shoe. Love them so far!!

Slightly stiff shoe in the toe box, but very light shoe over all. Also comfortable and supportive in the heal. I appreciated the toe-push off which propelled me forward with every foot strike. I PR'd in the mile! Can't wait to test them out in future races and virtual race distances.

I wear Nike Vapor Next% and I wore them out. Can't get them so I bought Elites. I loved Brooks Launch 5 and hated Launch 6 . The Elites are AWESOME ! They are fast and make you spring forward . Running tempo runs is fun again!! The fit is great too

Really fast shoes !! I used them for the 1st time for what i planed to be an easy trial run. I ended running fast by default and without having extra effort felling or struggling. i even ran more distance than planned. These shoes don't now how to manage pace less than fast !!! :)

Do not buy this model. If your going to buy the Elite either purchase the Elite 2 or Temp. After reading reviews Brooks rushed this to market and used an inferior sole. They later fixed this with the Elite 2.

Very light and comfortable, very good running shoes

This shoe is awesome. I did what no runner should do - I bought them right before a half marathon and wore them after only doing an 800m warmup to test them out. They were great. No rubbing, but very comfortable and super fast feeling. Love them.

Love these shoes. Comfort fit in the tile box. I like the springy feeling when running. My only concern is some discomfort when putting my feet into the shoes. The backside is a bit narrow.

Best running shoe ever, it's like running on a cloud. Even the color is light.

Awesome shoes - can't wait until marathons come back and the world is once again normal.

So far I have had 2 pairs of this shoe and I abolutely love it for 5K and 10K races, as well as for those days when I go to the track for speedwork. Super light with just enough cushion to keep me rolling!

Had been my race day shoe since it's launch day - knocked out some solid runs and PRs at one mile, 5k, and 10k

Solid race shoe , felt immediate difference on the road. I would recommend as an alternative to the Nike racer!

I've only had a chance to run in these twice, but they are really great. My feet feel slightly propelled and energized. The only downsides are the price and the fact that you can't, or should't unless you have money to burn, run in these too often. They are made for race days. But, I knew that going in so I still give them five stars.

The best ones so far. I wish they had more colors

Excellent choice wide toe box very responsive, lightweight very nice

I have tried a lot of running shoes. This shoe by far is the most comfortable and durable . This running shoe is worth every penny.

Love the feel and felt great to race in them. Worried they are only good for 50 miles, but worth it for the time

These shoes (Elites) replaced my Nike Vapor % . I love the Elite ! Great fit and super fast. I read reviews that there were firm/hard . At first when you put them but running 5 miles they were just right. Not to soft not to firm They are worth $$

Very responsive shoe! I could definitely tell there was energy return with each foot strike. Freshest I've felt on a long run. I can't wait to both the 2nd edition later this summer/early fall

Love the shoe, the design, the feel, and weight. I haven't run in them more than once because of the amount of mileage that they are built for. Was holding for Boston, will keep holding until September now.

Simply amazing! I have been running in Brooks my entire life, but have often dabbled with other racing flats due to Brooks having limited options in this area. The search is over! Everything you want in a flat and more! Extreme lightweight, excellent forefoot cushion without feeling like you're running in wet sand. The energy return is what impresses me the most! Each stride and transition feels almost like I am being launched off a diving board! I am loving the fit also! No annoying seems or stitching so you run sans socks! The search is over!
