Have recently returned to Brooks and was looking for a cushiony fast shoe for marathons. This shoe has moderate cushioning and great rebound. I am running faster than I have in a few years in these. I ran 19 miles in them last weekend and they propelled me throughout the run. I had a total joint replacement in my great toe a year ago and it does well in this rockered shoe. Love them.

I walk 7-10 miles a day (combo outdoor and treadmill). I have wide(er) feet with extremely high arches. Knee pain has been a frequent companion to my love of walking. I have been wearing Hokas for years, but thanks to a downturn in quality I’ve noticed in Hokas the last few years (the fabric in the shoes completely deteriorates within months), I decided to try alternative brands.
Enter Brooks.
I’ve only been wearing these for a couple weeks now, but I think it is safe to say I am a convert. These shoes are comfortable, durable, and i have not noticed ANY knee pain at all.
These shoes are wonderful.

I’ve always preferred Brooks for my fitness shoe, but the Hyperion Max is truly special. I had an issue with the Ghost 14, Trace 2, and Levitate 6 models. They all have a silicone-like coating inside the shoe by the top of the toes. I assume it is to reinforce that area. I wore my much loved pair of Ghost 14 for a solid 5 months of daily power walks, and found it actually started to detach the nails on my big toe. No such issue with the Hyperion model!

Amazing Shoes. Very light and super comfortable. Fit like a glove. Hopefully Brooks will keep all the materials used for the next model.
I bought a second pair. Perfect.

I am loving the slight heel drop, coming from a different and much heavier shoe I needed less weight and more air during the summer months, I may not go back to the previous style! We will see how they wear, but so far I am a big fan! By far my favorite brooks I've ever owned (I've tried 5 types now! formally a solid Asics fan!)

These fit great right out of the box. Very lightweight but lots of cushion for my heel.

These shoes have a hard sole, but feel super fast for workouts. Running on cushioned surfaces helps with comfort

I love these shoes. They are lightweight but have enough cushioning to protect my feet and legs without being too squishy. They are very comfortable. I have worn them for training and racing.

Wasn't sure if I'd like these but I LOVE them! I've been suffering from heal pain, knee pain, back pain. So I've tried a bunch of shoes lately. These (plus my arch supports) have helped tremendously. I was worried about the heal in these shoes, but I think it's made me be more cognizant of my strike and has thus resulted in less pain.

This shoe is exactly what I was looking for! The Max is a sleek shoe with the perfect amount of cushion to help you get one more mile! It has a nice give and bounce to compliment my stride and it is very light and breathable.
I have taken this shoes through mud and puddles that can cover my go to running path and they are always up for the challenge! After 400+ miles they are going strong - no rips or tears!

I absolutely love these shoes. Very comfortable to wear. The colors are really nice and next time I would love a pair that has Teal/Mint Green in place of the Pink maybe? :)

I love the Hyperion Max!! The cushioning is great for my hilly runs, and the shoe is light. I have orthotics that fit very nicely in the shoe. I wear Adrenaline and Ghost for every day use, but these are my go to for running.

LOVE these! Have been a long time Ghost wearer but decided to try the Hyperion max at a friend's rec. Nice bounce, feels fast and light, good heel support. Wearing these for speed work and long runs and they feel amazing. I size up half size for Ghosts and did the same for these, and fit well. Laces tend to come loose so I suggest double knotting.

I have ran in many Brooks styles of running shoes. These are my favorite. They are light weight and very comfortable. These would be my favorite pick of all.

Love it. Have been rotating three pairs glycerin for over two years and loved them also but wanted switch it up a little. Glycerin is great for walking but seem too heavy for running. Hyperion Max is fast running shoes. Lightest shoes I have ever tried and it looks so cute looking. I was concerned at first because I have wide feet and they didn't offer wide but it fits perfectly comfortable. Run true to size. Purchased 2 pairs so I can rotate. Thinking about adding another color.

I have really struggled to find good "speedy" shoes because I don't vibe with a speed roll/rocker or a carbon/nylon plate. I initially bought the Hyperion Max as a long run shoe, but after 1 trial run, they became my new go-to for workouts and races. In these, I get a natural energy return that doesn't work against my (admittedly wonky) gait, and I feel fantastic at the end of a hard effort. I've done a 5 and a 10 mile race in them -- PR'd in both! -- plus workouts in the 7-18 mile range, for ~100 miles total so far and they still feel fresh. I'm hoping to get at least another 100 out of them and use them as my marathon shoe at the end of the season!
