Customer Reviews Brooks Hyperion Tempo

I am 63 years old, and race in 5K, 10K, and half marathons. Brooks Hyperion Tempos are my favorite running shoes because they are somehow soft on impact, firm on the push, super lightweight, neutral, have the right drop for me, and they make my feet and legs feel younger. They are great shoes for speed work and for long runs. I am running faster and longer now than since my 40s, and the Tempo deserves some of that credit.

Great shoe. Feels good. Quick turnover and cushioned enough to go the distance. Could use a little better set of laces.

Favorite running shoe ever? My introduction into running started with the Glycerin, Ghost, Launch and Cascadias I laced up between 2012 and 2014. I left for the siren song of Adidas Energy Boost 1 and then chased a bunch of different models with the dream of a shoe that would work for me on the track, easy days and long runs. I fantasized about a shoe light enough for fast 5k races in July but enough cushion and energy return for a fall marathon. That day has come with the Brooks Hyperion. I told someone it propels me like when you are on the horizontal escalator at O'Hare airport. The upper locks the foot so you feel athletic and fast but provides room for toe splay. Smart engineers built a thin but comfy tongue. The heel collar is my favorite ever. I think every level of runner can find an amazing use for this shoe. They even shook off the beer a competitor spilled on them in a beer mile. I highly recommend Brooks drop a light gray color for wearing around with jeans, shorts, etc.. Thanks Brooks - you are back and so am I.

I use these for all my speed sessions and races up to half marathon. They just make me feel fast, they are very responsive but they also have a decent level of cushioning. Got a 10k pb in them only last week! Absolutely love them.

The Brooks Hyperion Tempo is my all-time favorite shoe. No joke, I am on my fourth pair. They are super light weight and give you a bounce in your step that lasts for hundreds of miles. I have been running about 700-800 miles per pair, and the shoes hold up incredibly well. Whether you are running a half/full marathon or just gunning for some Strava segments these shoes will help you reach your goal.

I feel much lighter on my feet. They feel like they hugged the feet and the laces are flexible which I think are giving that comfy feel.

I love my new Hyperion Tempo shoes so much I bought another pair!

Super light still with a lot of cushion! Worked perfectly for me!

Hands down the best brooks running shoe right now. This is how the ghost line used to be. Simple. Comfortable. Wideish. Reliable. Definitely going to order more. Typically running 20-30 miles a week. Running enthusiast and for work.

Most comfortable sneaker I've had. Super light and definitely helps with pace. Only slight con would be I'm 210lbs and impact can be a little harder than a Ghost or similar shoe.

Over all best shoes for running outside hands down !

After a track workout and one 6-mile run, I knew the Hyperion Tempo were going to be my go-to speed shoe. Light and bouncy - they felt great. And I'm guessing had my race been during dry conditions, the shoe would have garnered 5 stars from me. However, race day came and it was drizzling for 90% of the race - not a downpour, not even a steady rain, but a persistent drizzle. Sure, my feet were wet (not a surprise) but the sheer quantity of water the shoes retained was stunning. I took them off post-race and literally poured water out of my shoes. It was stunning how much water these shoes retained. When the forecast calls for rain, leave these at home. For any race/work-out where the weather is rain-free - don't think twice and lace these babies up. Your feet will thank you.

Light weight with good support and cushion. I like the sole design of the Hyperion Elite better, was hoping that they would more closely match.

I just got this shoes 70kms ago and I have to say that our relationship is improving after each km. It is a shoe worth trying, but the experience for everyone is going to be completely different. I use them for tempo and long runs and they feel very responsive, roomy in the toe box ( that's ver I get most of the problems with the shoes) and very light. My only request would be to have them with more drainage for Floridas hot/humid days.
