Different Shoe From Max 2

If you're used to the Hyperion Max 2s, this is a very different shoe in my opinion. I have been marathon training in my 2s after being fitted for them post right ankle injury. I loved everything about the 2s and was very excited to try the 3s as I continue in this training block, however, the increase in drop and cushion/height made running in this shoe a very different experience. It felt less responsive on the road, and I felt slightly more unstable. The differences caused some pulling on my anterior chain just two runs in - about 6.5 miles on day two when it bothered me most (not uncommon for the drop and rocker, but uncomfortable post injury and deep in training nonetheless). If I had more time, I'd try to introduce them slowly and see if there was any improvement because a huge pro was the added cushion - it felt great without feeling like you have ankle weights on which is common in highly cushioned shoes. The 2s felt supportive but "snappy" and great for long runs or track workouts. That's missing in the 3s for me. Huge Brooks fan so will be returning them and already snagged another pair of Max 2s before they disappear!

I just got these 2 days ago I wore them today there is absolutely no cushion there heavy for being brooks. DO NOT RECOMEND!

Springy But Taxing On The Knees

The design doesn’t seem particularly trendy, although I do like the color scheme. I’m not a fan of the sheer top of the shoe, both visually and practically, but the breathability is great. These shoes are also practically form fitting at the top. They’re easy to slip on, and have laces just in case you need extra security. At first this excited me, but by the end of the day I had some mild indents on top of my feet. Those might have been caused by the laces, as the tongue is quite thin. The soles are springy and comfortable, but the tips of these shoes have little shock absorption. This put some stress on my knees, which have recently taken a turn for the worst. I felt especially sore in the knees when pushing weight onto my toes or climbing up and down stairs. I definitely don’t recommend these shoes for all day wear or if you have knee problems like me, but they should be perfectly serviceable on a run.

This Is A Very Nice Shoe

I’ve only tested these on long walks, but WOW do they make me want to go for a run (I don’t run, ever). They are positively bouncy, yet unlike other super cushy shoes, my foot feels so solid and stable—not like I’m going to roll over to one side when the foam depresses. Where other cushioned shoes feel like pool floaties, these are buoys: un-tipoverable but somehow, they just float.

Hyperion Max 3

I really like how the Hyperion max 3 fit my feet. They are not too tight on the foot. The toe box is wide enough to keep you comfortable during a run or standing for a shift at work. I spend a considerable amount of time on my feet for work, and I have no pain when my shift is over. There is plenty of support for my long days at work. The hyperion max 3 is a comfortable shoe whether you are wearing it on a run or as your daily shoe. I would highly recommend.
