Full details
The Brooks Hyperion 3 is a high-performance trainer designed for neutral runners seeking a blend of lightweight agility and responsive cushioning for everything from tempo workouts to long-distance efforts.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, they are suitable for those who prefer a lightweight, responsive feel, though runners needing high levels of stability should test them on shorter runs first.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the foam. Hand clean with mild soap and water instead.
What type of arch do these shoes support?
The Hyperion 3 is designed as a neutral shoe, meaning it works best for runners with normal to high arches who do not require significant motion control.
How long should the cushioning last?
Typically, you can expect optimal performance for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and the surfaces you use.
Does the upper stretch over time?
The upper is designed to maintain its shape, but the fabric will soften slightly after the first few runs for a more personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Hot spots or blistering
Ensure your lacing is not too tight across the top of the foot and consider using moisture-wicking synthetic socks to reduce friction.
Outsole debris accumulation
Use a dull object like a butter knife or a specialized shoe brush to gently pry out pebbles or gravel trapped in the tread after off-road excursions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Hyperion 3 trainers, begin by ensuring a proper lacing tension that secures the midfoot without restricting blood flow. These shoes are compatible with standard orthotics if you require a specific arch profile. For cleaning, remove surface dirt with a soft brush after your run and avoid submerging the shoes in water. Always air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the midsole foam over time.
