Customer Reviews Brooks Hyperion 2

I dont know if its the placebo effect of what, but its way easier to run in these. They feel so fast!

Nicely made.

My husband love these shoes and the brand.

Reluctantly switched shoe brands after more than 20 years running in Nike. My favorite shoe was the Nike streakfly, before that, it was Nike free's. When Nike changed up the streakfly and added a carbon fiber plate, it was time to find a new shoe. But nothing in Nikes lineup compared to them. I need something flexible and lightweight. Without all the marshmallow cushion and carbon fiber plates adding stiffness. Something with relatively low heel-toe drop. These shoes are dying out. I decided to give these a try. It was between these and Saucony Kinvara 15. The only reason I didn't go with the Saucony, is because they don't offer a trial period on running shoes. And I'm glad they don't now, because I am more than pleased with how these felt. They have a bit higher drop than I'm used to. I normally go for under 7mm. But honestly, I didn't even notice it. These were on the upper end of weight that I normally go for also, but felt very lightweight on my feet. I was concerned about flexibility, but that also surpassed my expectations. I did an easy 5 mile run and my legs felt strong and lively. I could have kept going. I have always gotten "hot spots" on my toes when breaking in a new pair of Nikes that would require mole skin wrap for a while, but no hotspots spots at all with these! The toebox has ample room to let your toes spread. My new go-to shoes!

Great fit right out of the box! They seem more stable then my Ghost 15's. Though they are great too! The new tongue is very thought out. Very nice! The laces are like parachute cable and hold great. A VERY well thought out shoe! My new shoes for this year's Bloomsday race. #Bloomsday

Very happy with the Hyperion 2. They are very comfortable. I am using them to train for my first half marathon.

Very comfy and stay where your foot lands

Perfect shoes for daily running. They are perfect for marathon training. I used them for both my workouts (intervals, fartleks) and also for my long run. I love them!

Absolutely amazing shoe that feels like a race shoe did three years ago. Highly recommend for both training and 5k/10k races.

My running is usually a few times/week just doing 1-2 miles, and this shoe is perfect for that. It's light, and it isn't overly built up with cushion.

The shoe has excellent shock, absorption, and support

Very light shoe. Feels great at propelling you forward. Really enjoy the overall feel.

I like how non-prescriptive this shoe is. I mean, I can run in these shoes relatively easy and it's very smooth, light, and trouble-free ride. But the moment I decide to pick up the pace, these shoes just allow me to reach something like 6:30 min/mi efficiently and without any issues. I'm a heavier runner: 6 ft tall, and around 180 lbs BTW. These shoes feel relatively close to the ground while providing excellent cushioning and impact mitigation. I prefer the cushioning here on the Hyperion 2 to the one from Glycerin 21 - which I find surprising - but hey these just work for me (and Glycerin is awesome too)!

Big fan! From the upper to the overall fit to the energy return, I am a high frequency low mileage runner (3-5 miles per run) runner and this is my new do all daily trainer and speed workout shoe. Hoping to get some good mileage / months out of it!

Best running shoes ever!!

These are my favorite shoes ever made! No Joke! I love them for everyday wear and my < 10 mile tempo runs. They feel great and look great. Absolutely love these shoes!

Very light and responsive. I used to wear the Levitate and feel this is a superior product.

got these for threshold sessions and track workouts. I have about 50 miles on them so far and they have been absolutely amazing. They are extremely light but they still feel cushioned enough to do longer workouts if you need them to. I would say my favorite thing overall Is the upper it fits perfectly around your foot making you feel like you're attached to the shoe. The lacing system is also superb, it reminds me of the kind of laces they put in racing shoes and spikes

6'2" tall. 183 lbs. 68 years old. Perfect shoe for 90ish second 400 repeats. "Super" shoes cause calf strains but the Hyperion 2 is perfect. No calf problems
