The effortless glide when running in the Hyperion 3’s is beautiful. As you run, there’s some sort of foam cushion underneath that feels like a hybrid mattress - not too springy, and not too squishy, but still comfortable. They are not like memory foam, which sinks. As I ran, I could feel the soles of the shoes popping up gently to meet my arch which was AMAZING for my balance as I landed. The teal colorway isn’t normally the route I’d go as a neutral girly, but I’ve changed my tune. The brighter colors against the pavement really helped me watch my gait. I’ve been training in weather, mostly rain, and I do appreciate how non-absorbent the fabric and laces are. I haven’t run in puddles, FYI.
Overall, these have been my new go-to sneakers when I go for any run (long or short) and even for errands and farmers markets. I’ve been testing them on different terrain (they are ok on sand, but they’re not meant for beach running IMO), and they have still bounced back in their way that I like. They do have a bit of height to them, which I also like, but that is something to be aware of if you aren’t into that. I will be recommending these in my running group.
