This is such a great trainer. I can???t believe I scored it at this price! It is snappy and firm, perfect for a good workout. I sincerely hope I like the new Hyperions as much as I love the tempos.

I love how lightweight this shoe is and the colors are fun. These shoes fit my feet like a glove and I hardly notice I'm wearing them. I went with 4 stars because of a few reasons: the laces are thin and a little difficult to tie, the insole is junk (especially for someone with bad feet), and there isn't a lot of room for custom insoles or thick socks. Not really a problem if you wear thin socks and don't need insoles.

These shoes are super light weight with just the right amount of cushion and support.

Overall really like this shoe. Sizing & drop are excellent. The light weight is fabulous. Laces are terrible-way too long & material is slippery. Just a bit more cushioning would be appreciated.

I've had previous versions of the Hyperion Tempo and primarily use this shoe for track/speed workouts and racing. This shoe feels similar as previous versions but less felt slightly less bouncy and the transition has not felt as smooth as previous Tempo iterations. I still like the shoe overall.

These run about half a size smaller and narrower than my other Brooks (Ghost, Ricochet, Launch), but are still super comfortable. I love the black with blue sole colorway, so it wasn't worth exchanging and settling on a less-preferred color. I've mostly worn these for long walks/hikes with my dogs, a couple of miles, and haven't had any issues with comfort. They're less comfortable to wear for a full day on my feet. Great price on sale, but I would recommend going up a half size from your usual.

Poor SupportGreat Support
The teal is gorgeous and I was so happy when they went on sale. I didn’t realize this is a neutral shoe and I wish it had more arch support built in. However, I stuck an insole in it and it works for me. They are super light and breathable. There are small holes in the top and you can see your socks. Doesn’t bother me, but worth noting. I bought 9.5, which is my typical size for running shoes. I don’t run, but walk every day with my dog and walk/stand all day as a teacher. Overall, if you are looking for arch support, this isn’t it. But it’s a cute, comfortable shoe that could work with your favorite insole.

The sneakers are light but have a ton of support for outdoor and indoor walking and running. They did feel small and a little narrow when I ordered my normal Brooks size. Overall I like them quite a bit and they lasted me hundreds of miles.

I like the style and look but it doesn't have enough inserts for why I thought. I love the ghost 14s for running and was trying to see if there were better shoes for my endurance running, but the hyperions will be good for my every day shoes, not running.

These felt amazing except a little too narrow across the toes. I have a small bunion and these were just a bit too tight on that area. It was disappointing because the soles felt great. I wish these had the softer and slightly wider upper of the Brooks Ghost.

I've been using the Hyperion elite 3's for a little over a year-have two pair-for high intensity treadmill (I have asthma so not much outdoor activities for me) running- totaling about 15-20 miles a day (was doing 26-30 4/wk but an injury set me back). Those air outstanding with my foot injuries and previous surgery. The hyperion tempo does not have that quick turnover feel and feels like I'm running on a hard road so they are not my go to for training, but I needed something to walk outside but run if I need to so I they work for the price- I won't take my elite 3's outside as they'll get torn up by the asphalt quickly and they aren't the best for walking since they're racing shoes- positioning. Doesn't feel right walking in the hips/back with those-The tempo I can walk, run short distances outside, allowing for movement other than constant running- but there is a very clear difference between the reason for the increased price with the elite3's. I'm happy with the tempo as a go to walking-run errands shoe- but not for my training- to hard feeling on the impact with fast running.

Overall lightweight, and very comfortable. My heels felt very supported. Sadly had to return due to challenges I had on longer runs, the toe box was slightly too narrow, so I would get a pain in my pinky halfway through my run. The shoes were so cute, I loved the Blue/Phantom/Cosmo color/design.

Light and responsive shoe. Great for average daily runs, or cross training. Thinner materiel keeps my feet from getting too hot in the heat. Not recommended for long runs (10+ miles) because of lightness of shoe and not enough cushioning for that length of run. Overall super happy with these and would absolutely buy another pair! Plenty of space in toebox and not too tight around tops/arch of feet. Definitely going to keep these in my shoe rotation for my daily 10k runs

I like that they are light weight and the colors are great. I do not like the shoe laces. They are too stretchy. I have to tuck them in because they end up being too long.

I really like this shoe. It feels kind of spongey and supportive at the same time. I had foot surgery so I can't run with these yet, but I do fast walking and they feel like they help me to go fast. They are very comfortable. They fit really nice and as expected. The only thing I don't like are the holes in the very thin fabric on the top of the shoes. I'm sure the design is to keep your feet cool, but the fabric will probably wear out fast.

Comfy. I'm keeping them. They'll do well. I wear them on dog walks. I walk at least 2 miles, average 3 miles per hour, each day on concrete. My arthritic feet would I'd like a shoe with a stiffer soul and perhaps more cushion, but these will work. I started my regular dog-walking habit in 1992. Most of my shoes have been Brooks or Saucony, whichever one I could find on sale and felt the best, when I needed them. Both brands have a snug heel and a roomy toe-box. I generally use one pair of walking shoes until they are worn out. I last pair of "walking" shoes was Brooks, I think you called it "Run Lucky." Compared to that shoe, the Hyperion laces stay tied better. Two things I don't like: 1. The tongue won't pull up and stay out of the way when putting the shoes on and, 2. The toe-box isn't as roomy, but they're still OK for my feet. Don't make them any narrower in the toe, please! I think anyone with a square shaped foot would have trouble with this one.

I thought the shoe was very light and nice, I just think it needed more cushion inside the soles like my other Brooks. Other than that nice shoe

Light and sleek. Good design and definitely enjoyed interval training with these shoes. Prefer for short distances over long distances as the the cushion also feels lighter compared to the glycerin which I use for half marathon training. Definitely enjoyed speed training with this pair

The shoe is comfy and is perfect for running middle distance (5-10) miles. Anything longer then that, I wouldn?t recommend as I would like a shoe that?s a bit more responsive/more cushiony. Overall it is great for shorter to mid-distance runs as well as speed work.
