Customer Reviews Brooks Hyperion Max 2

I love them. They are the best running shoe I ever bought. I love the fact that they have the stability plate to help. They are pretty and bouncy. Please continue giving these shoes bright beautiful colors. Colors influence my purchases a lot. Thank you.

I absolutely love these shoes, my new go to. I wore Ghost for years until the 15s were definetly not for me. So I went on a search for a new one. I tried Hoka, New Balance, Saucony, On Cloud and Adidas to name a few. I tried these on and was skepical at first until I wore them to work As a healthcare worker I am on my feet long long hours. At the end of the day these held up great my legs and back are not hurting like they used to. These have good supportive soles not to soft or firm but just right for me, as I have weak ankles (no wobble). The sole shape had a good kick to the next step which is great. The top is almost like wearing a sock, well ventilated a little cold in winter but tolerable. Laces are textered so they stay tied well. I have been wearing them 3 months and planning to buy another pair to switch in and out. My only complaint at this time is not enough colors and also colored soles, white gets dirty to easy....Do recommend.

I wanted to love this shoe because of all the extra cushion but I just dont. Its so tall that I feel awkwardly off balance. The way the heel is designed it feels like it changes my loading response and walking in it is just unnatural. Once you are running its okat faster speeds. A slow jog presents the same problem as walking. I have a pair of the regular Hyperion GTS and I love those. Ill avoid the max models from now on.

Love them, a little stiff at first but after a few runs they mold to your feet!

No better running shoe for me! Its has plenty of cushion, but not an overwhelming amount where you feel like youre going to fall over. Never had a bad run day with my Brooks.

Very light and comfortable for long run,more room for toes

Loved the look and color but they were not comfortable at all. Returned them and went with glycerin

Really enjoy the design and feel of these so far! Would definitely recommend for anyone who enjoys a thicker midsole

One of the best running shoes I've bought! I'm usually a 'barefoot' type runner, but as I'm reaching 40s, finding comfortable cushioned shoes are the only way. Hyperion max 2 surpassed my expectations, it's very solid, roomy, and light. I'd recommend for long and paced runs, but it also felt good sprinting in those for a few meters.

It fits perfectly for me, and I love how comfortable it feels on my feet.

Fits good and feels good, they are light and comfortable

Great training shoe for speed and support!!! It replaces my $200 Ascics Superblast shoe for training. I am a forefoot strike runner with a very slight overpronation. However, not meant for below 30 degrees. Even with wool running socks. Worth the purchase for sure!!!!!

I feel fast! Enough room in toe box, especially since I am having a flare of neuropathy. I have a very high arch and the elastic bands feel a bit too snug when I put them on, but I've done serveral 7+ mi workouts and no issues. Great for intervals and tempo runs. I do get a bit of heel slip, but that seems to be happening on several of my shoes right now, and it's way better than the Endorphin Pro 4, which I couldn't tighten enough. Only sad thing is I bought right before they went on Black Friday sale. What a deal!!!

As an avid runner averaging 35+ miles per week, I owned multiple pairs of the original Hyperion Max. I opted for the Max as my go-to running shoe. When the Hyperion Max 2 was launched, I was hopeful the Max 2 would be as good as the original Max. However, in my experience, the Max 2 does not live up to the original. The original Max is lighter, more responsive, not as firm, and made me feel faster. To me, the Max 2 feels too heavy, too firm, and too supportive/protective (for a neutral shoe). At this point, I will probably resort to wearing the Max 2 to kick around in while searching for an alternative (Brooks) running shoe that will better support my needs.

Loved the cushioning and weight of the shoe. My issue was the springiness of the tongue. Not only was it attached, it is made to spring back and snug the foot. While it may be a plus for some, those with plantar fasciitis that need to have room for foot expansion, these are not those. Other than that, they were great.

Love them!! Very comfy and feel bouncy when Im running. 10/10

It isnt comfortabl. Very tight on the heel area. I would rather go back to the other Hyperion

Intrigued after fellow runners suggestion and great reviews. I've only ran in Glycerin and Ghost for 12yrs The springiness took a few miles to get use to but quickly felt comfortable and fast Third run, a 22 miler was a test to see if they would be my new marathon shoe. My feet felt good and my legs felt fresh and only little soreness in my legs the following day which I contribute a lot to the cushioning. Definitely will be my 26.2 shoe The only reason I didn't give 5-stars because I wish they came in a wide. You will need to go up a 1/2 size

My first pair of Hyperion Max 2 did not disappoint. I like how it rolls your foot forward as Im running. Didnt even feel like I needed to break them in for the half marathon I completed in them. Great shoe!

These are the best shoes that I have found for running. They greatly improved my times and distance.

Quickly becoming my favorite shoe in current rotation. Tempted to pick up another pair in the other colorway! Feels quick/snappy yet stable. I'm a slight heel striker, with neutral pronation. Love it for long runs and speed workouts currently. I've also been running in New Balance 1080 v14 (I do love those as well), and Hoka Mach 6s and since getting the Hyperion Max2, the Hokas have been sitting on the shoe rack unworn.

Overall fantastic pair of shoes. I love the guided run, the cushioning fit my need for the mid to long distance training runs. I found that it responsive, yet enough cushioning. The shoe is incredibly light. The upper is very breathable, I ran in ~30 Farenheit, and that felt a bit cold; I think Hyperion Max 2 will do much better in the summer. My only concern is the gusseted tongue, it caused a blister on my right foot. I am going to try some different lacing and socks to see if I can often the abrasion. This shoe could be a race day shoe for half / full marathons. I will continue to test to see how it does after 100+ miles. The alternate shoe that I considered was the glycerin max 2, I may try that next to compare the two shoes.

Enjoy the feel of them. Does seem to propel you forward faster

Game changer! Road or trail-this shoe gives you the support and comfort to keep going! I received these on Friday. Ran Saturday and Sunday and not one ache! Highly recommend if you prefer/need support.
