Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear
This is normal for performance shoes. Wear them for shorter runs to allow them to break in and adapt to your foot's shape. Ensure laces are tied appropriately for your foot's width.
Feet feel too warm during long runs
While the upper is breathable, very hot conditions might still lead to warmth. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks. Consider alternative shoes with maximum ventilation if this is a persistent issue.
Reduced responsiveness over time
The DNA FLASH v2 cushioning is designed for durability, but its responsiveness may decrease with very high mileage. This is typical for running shoes and indicates it might be time to consider a new pair, usually after 300-500 miles.

- Suitable for both training and racing.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Brooks Hyperion 3 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. No assembly or specific setup is required.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for neutral runners and are best suited for asphalt surfaces. They are compatible with most running socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the 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 warp the shape or degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
