Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Hyperion Max 4 is a high-performance trainer engineered for neutral runners seeking speed during fast workouts and long-distance road sessions. By integrating advanced DNA GOLD and DNA FLASH v2 cushioning with a specialized SpeedVault polyamide plate, this shoe delivers exceptional energy return and smooth, agile transitions. While it excels at pace-driven runs, runners preferring maximal stability may find the neutral geometry less supportive than dedicated stability-focused models.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
Yes, the Hyperion Max 4 is designed for long distances and provides the responsiveness needed for competitive racing and high-mileage training.
What is the drop on the Hyperion Max 4?
The shoe features a 6mm heel-to-toe drop.
Does this shoe provide stability for flat feet?
This is a neutral support shoe; if you require significant arch support or stability for overpronation, you may want to use a custom orthotic or consider a stability-specific model.
How heavy is the shoe?
The weight of the Brooks Hyperion Max 4 is 286.3g.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are designed for road use. The high stack height and plate geometry are optimized for paved surfaces and may lack the stability and grip required for technical trails.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The trainers utilize high-quality, durable polyester construction for breathability and a lightweight fit.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel instability
Adjust your lacing pattern to include a runner's loop (heel lock) to secure the ankle more firmly.
Premature wear on the outsole
Ensure you are using the trainers primarily on paved road surfaces rather than abrasive trail or gravel paths.
Midsole foam feels compressed
Rotate your trainers with another pair to allow the foam to decompress fully between sessions.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Hyperion Max 4 trainers, begin by properly lacing them to match your foot shape—ensuring a secure heel lock without restricting circulation. These shoes are compatible with standard running insoles if custom orthotics are required. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high temperatures can degrade the DNA foam and adhesive bonds. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft brush and mild soap, then allow them to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Remove the sock liner after particularly wet runs to allow the interior to dry thoroughly and prevent moisture buildup.
