Brooks Hyperion Max 3 Running Shoes - Yellow, Pink, UK 7.5

The Nylon SpeedVault plate works with the high-stack cushioning to provide a responsive, propulsive feel, aiding in quicker transitions and a more efficient stride.

Yes, the combination of high-stack cushioning for protection and a responsive plate for speed makes them suitable for marathon racing, especially for neutral runners.

The curved geometry of the shoe actively assists in smooth heel-to-toe transitions, promoting a quick turnover and a more efficient running form.

Neutral support means the shoe is designed for runners whose feet land on the outside of the heel and then roll inward slightly to absorb shock. It does not include features to correct overpronation.

The upper of the Hyperion Max 3 is made with 76% recycled materials.

Both are Brooks proprietary foam technologies. DNA FLASH v2 is nitrogen-infused for lightness and responsiveness, while DNA GOLD is designed for maximum cushioning and energy return, creating a high-stack, protective, yet propulsive ride when combined.

These shoes are primarily designed for road running. While they might handle very light, dry trails, they lack the aggressive traction and sidewall protection typically needed for technical trails.

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the laces are evenly tensioned and try different lacing patterns. If discomfort persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.

Cushioning materials naturally degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, depending on usage and running surface.

Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. The grip is optimized for dry to slightly damp road surfaces; for very wet conditions, exercise caution.

Avoid abrasive activities and ensure proper care during cleaning. Check for any snagging hazards during runs.
