Customer Reviews Brooks Hyperion Max 2

LOVE!! These are my outdoor goto run shoes!! They are lightweight, flexible, and full of bounce. I wished they came in more colors because I am in LOVE!!

I have been running off and on for 30 years. These shoes are my first Brooks purchase, and they are my absolute favorite shoe of all time!!! Every detail is thoughtful towards the runner. The comfort and support are heads above any other brand. The tongue and shoelaces are perfect! Everything is designed to give the best run possible. I have to run on the highway, and I am constantly concerned about the impact on my knees and hips. However, these shoes have eliminated my concerns. The cushioning is incomparable, and to top it off, they are super-lightweight. When my package arrived, the box felt empty! I will NEVER buy another brand of running shoe. I have heard of Brooks my whole life, but for some reason, rejected them for other brands. I will no longer skip over Brooks. These shoes have changed my running!

I ran with these for over a month then returned. They just didn't work for me. Miss the old Hyperions.

The cushion is amazing and when running I feel as if I am being propelled forward which is an added bonus. The fit is great and very stylish design. The only con for me is there is not a lot of stability but it was expected from this particular shoe. Overall, Great Job Brooks!

I am very happy with my purchase. I've done a few long runs in them and my feet feel great. Love the extra room in the toe box.

I was hopeful with this shoe, as I am a huge fan of the Hyperion Max. I'm sure the Hyperion max 2 is a great shoe, but it just felt too heavy compared to what I'm used to and I felt it made my runs harder. I tried it for 50 miles and just had to return it, and stock up on the Hyperion Max as I'm sure they are discontinuing it soon with the new model drop.

I really enjoy running in the Hyperion Max 2. Best PR in them!

So far the best shoes Ive owned. They are extremely comfortable shoes. Best running shoes. The fit is amazing.

I love this shoe. Its wide toe area is amazing, plus they feel comfortably snug. The laces grip well and holds its tie very well.

I was excited to try since I liked the first ones. I love them! These fit better than the first edition. Theres just the right amount of stability and comfort. Brooks never lets me down. The Hyperion Max has definitely been added in my rotation for my training.

The last time I ran, I'm quite confident something was chasing me. I bought these shoes because I have bone-on-bone arthritis in both big toe joints. These shoes are a game changer. I can walk with absolutely no pain when I wear these due to the stiff rocker bottom. I bought a second pair in a different color because I wear them almost every day. Excellent shoes for my arthritic feet!

Ive been running in Ghosts or Glycerins for years, but decided I wanted to try a faster more responsive shoe. I chose these and WOW I am so glad I did. For the same perceived effort Im running at least 30 seconds per mile faster. Maybe its a placebo effect, but I can certainly feel the shoe spring my foot forward with each strike. They have been so helpful with keeping my cadence up and keeping a quick turnover. I was worried that these would be too stiff coming from ghost/glycerin, but I havent found that to be an issue at all. The shoes do fit differently, but still 100% comfortable. I might still wear ghosts for recovery runs, but Ill be using these for all others.

Love these shoes, I even use them on long runs and my feet always feel good. True to size, snug fit but not right so theres no traction for blisters, very bouncy.

I love this shoe. I previously wore ghosts before trying other brands. I was looking for a shoe for faster runs and this fits that. Comfortable for mid miles. Ive used them on runs 5-7 miles. These are one of my favorites in the rotation.

At first I didnt know if I would like the amount of cushioning it had but after a few runs these shoes became my favorite!

My foot is ever so Slightly on the narrow side and this shoe was TIGHT. It has a sock fit where the tongue is attached andit was just right everywhere. The sole/cushion isnt soft whatsoever, it was extremely firm. I had these on for a good full minute and they just gave me the ick, they felt smothering and hard.

Great shoe for long runs and easy miles. I wouldn't use them for speed work or recovery runs, but they're good for that in between effort. Toe box is slightly wider than most, which I really like. Upper is well designed, lockdown is great. I honestly don't really feel the plate in them - they're not as snappy as other plated shoes I've tried - but they have a nice propulsive and responsive feeling. Despite being slightly heavier than some of my other shoes, they don't feel heavy at all. I'm very happy with these shoes! They're all I want to run in lately.

Light weight. Feels really comfortable on the foot. Little bit harder sole but this gives it stability. Responsive so I can pick up my pace. True to size.

My new favorite running/walking shoes.

Love them! The Cushion ride is amazing ! However they are beginning to hurt my feet. Im not sure what to do at this point.

Shoes feel amazing! Light and plenty of cushion for long runs. A little more firm than the Saucony speed 3s. The only thing that was upsetting was that my right shoe was doing a little popping, I think it was from the insole not being firmly glued to the shoe possibly? That was annoying. Also the color on the inside of the shoe bleeds onto white socks so be aware of wearing any nice socks. a pair of my expensive feetures socks are ruined from the bright orange inside the shoe. Never had this issue with shoes before so very unfortunate. But so far I like the feel and they look so nice.

The look great, love the color but they turn my foot and ankle inwards and I have never had that happen before. I wore them 3x and will be returning them.

I loved the look of these and thought they would be good for me as someone that has chronically tight calves. I did one run and the heel drop was a no go for me. I was out for over a week with strained calves. Make sure your foot, stride, and structure is the right fit. Anyone want a new pair of shoes that have 9 miles on them? Im bummed these didnt work out. Cause I love Brooks shoes.

I ran in Adrenaline's for years. There was a change in the latest version I did not like. I tried these and LOVE them! They are designed for speed but they are great for any form of running. Comfortable and light. They form around thr shape of your foot. This is a new model. I hope they decide to release more colors. I will purchase again.
