Full details

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the SpeedVault plate?

The SpeedVault plate is designed to enhance energy efficiency by propelling you forward with each stride, helping you maintain speed with less effort.

How does the DNA GOLD midsole differ from other cushioning?

DNA GOLD is Brooks' lightest and most responsive foam, offering superior cushioning and energy return to protect joints and keep your legs feeling fresh.

Can I use these shoes for hiking or trail running?

The Hyperion Max 3 is optimized for road running. While the outsole offers good grip, it is not designed for the rugged terrain and specific traction needs of trails.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel-to-toe drop on the Brooks Hyperion Max 3 is 6mm (46mm heel height, 40mm forefoot height).

How should I clean my Hyperion Max 3 shoes?

Clean the shoes by spot cleaning with a mild detergent and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing and harsh chemicals. Always air dry.

What is the weight of the Hyperion Max 3?

The Brooks Hyperion Max 3 weighs approximately 280g.

How does the RapidRoll Rocker work?

The RapidRoll Rocker is the unique curvature of the shoe in the heel and toe areas. It works in conjunction with the midsole and plate to promote a quick toe-off and smooth transitions from landing to push-off.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the traditional lacing system. Ensure the flat-laying tongue is positioned correctly to avoid pressure points. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate for your foot.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While the RoadTack rubber provides good traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is free of debris. For challenging wet conditions, exercise caution.

Discomfort during initial runs

The Hyperion Max 3 features a specific geometry with a propulsion plate and rocker. Allow for a break-in period of a few runs to adapt to the shoe's ride characteristics. Ensure the socks you are using are appropriate.

Upper material feels stiff

The breathable mesh upper is designed to be lightweight. After a few runs, the material should soften and conform better to your foot. Avoid using heat to speed up this process.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It's recommended to store them with shoe trees or crumpled paper to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
