BrooksWomen's Hyperion 3 Running Sneakers from Finish Line

OK, enjoyed the prior models more.

I loved the prior models but this upper is a bit sung. I know I have flippers for feet (size 11) but my toes feel sung. Do I really need a 11.5?!?! I will say, the cushion is nice and the pillow like feel around the heel is very sweet. I thought about returning them because they felt small but after a few runs my toe nails have survived, so they might be okay.

Great Shoe, but not like the previous

I started wearing brooks last year with the Hyperion 2 and Hyperion Max 2 (favorite shoe ever), and I was drawn to this because being a heavier runner and running in glycerins for awhile I just simply needed a lighter shoe, and the Hyperion 2 was it. The Hyperion 2 was amazing on speed days, track days, and 5ks. I bought this shoe hoping for a similar experience and well as other reviews say, it is not that. It is not as quick, nimble, or agile, and definitely fits into the daily trainer category. Now you might be wondering, why it is 5 starts if I am saying all bad things. Well this shoe is not the last shoe, and how I wish they would bring back the Hyperion 2 and Max 2, this shoe is still an extremely nice daily trainer. It is a more responsive shoe than the glycerin and firmer than the glycerin and for that, I really enjoy it and now prefer it over the glycerin. However, I feel as though this shoe needs a different name than Hyperion, because it is not like the previous iterations, this shoe would be perfect if it was the "Hyperion plus" so a shoe that is a daily trainer that sits between the regular hyperion and the Hyperion Max.

Cushion too thick.

I preferred the Hyperion 2. The prior version has less heal vision which made for a better feel. This new version makes them too much like other models.

snazzy but scrunchy

i loved the look, style and springy feel of these shoes. the toe box is really narrow and tight. it scrunched my toes together and put pressure on them from the side, front and top. it was odd. i had to return them as it wasn’t something i could consistently run in.

Really tight and uncomfortable on my heels. I have several pairs and styles and this is the only pair I have had to return.

Great fit, no issues with trying to “break” them in! Ran 40 miles within the first week of having the shoes !

Comfortable shoe but more baulky & heavier than the original version which have been my absolute favorite shoe.

Why?!?

Noooo!! Please stop changing these shoes! Loved the original Hyperion tempos and was crushed with the Hyperion. I was so happy with the Hyperion 2s and very relieved! But here we are again with the 3s.... both the Hyperion 3 and the 3 max are just awful. Hyperions originally had ground feel, were responsiveness and snappy, but they are just getting bulkier and bulkier. I loved the Hyperions tempos (and the Hyperion/max 2s) because they were just a regular shoe perfect for speed, tempo and long runs - versatile and a low stack height. They were awesome. Now they're like moon shoes with way too much "tech". Bring back the old styles please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
