Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Hyperion Max 3 trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking a lightweight shoe for speed training and recovery. They offer a responsive ride with high-stack cushioning and a nylon SpeedVault propulsion plate to aid in protection and forward momentum. While excellent for fast-paced training sessions and long distances on asphalt, users should note the neutral support, making them less suitable for runners requiring pronation control.

FAQs
What type of runner is the Brooks Hyperion Max 3 best suited for?
The Hyperion Max 3 is best suited for adult female runners with a neutral foot strike who are looking for a lightweight, cushioned, and propulsive shoe for speed training, tempo runs, and longer distances on road surfaces.
What is the difference between DNA FLASH v2 and DNA GOLD cushioning?
Both are Brooks' advanced cushioning technologies. DNA FLASH v2 is a nitrogen-infused DNA LOFT v3 that is lighter, softer, and more responsive. DNA GOLD is a PEBA-based foam that is highly resilient and provides excellent energy return, contributing to the shoe's propulsive feel.
Can I use these shoes for everyday walking?
While the cushioning provides comfort, these shoes are engineered for running performance. Using them for everyday walking may lead to faster wear on the outsole and cushioning designed for impact absorption during running.
How does the SpeedVault propulsion plate work?
The SpeedVault plate is a rigid nylon plate that sits between the midsole foams. It provides a stable platform, protects the foot from impact, and works with the foams to create a propulsive sensation, helping to guide your foot forward efficiently during the stride.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on the Hyperion Max 3?
The Brooks Hyperion Max 3 has a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Hyperion Max 3 are not waterproof. They feature a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation, making them suitable for dry to moderately wet conditions but not for prolonged heavy rain or submersion.
What is the recommended surface for these trainers?
These trainers are specifically recommended for road running surfaces such as asphalt and concrete.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try lacing them differently, or consider using thinner socks. If discomfort persists after a few runs, they may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Cushioning feels too soft or too firm
The cushioning is designed to be responsive. Your perception may vary based on your running style and personal preference. The shoe's performance characteristics are optimized for fast running; try incorporating faster paces into your runs to experience their intended feel.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While designed for roads, grip can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free of debris. For extremely wet conditions, consider shoes with deeper lugs if grip is a primary concern.
Plate feels intrusive or awkward
The SpeedVault plate is designed to enhance propulsion. This sensation can take some getting used to, especially if you haven't run in plated shoes before. Ensure your foot strike is neutral and consistent; the plate is most effective with a smooth transition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Hyperion Max 3 trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Insoles: Remove insoles and air dry separately to prevent odor and moisture buildup.
- Laundering: Do not machine wash or machine dry. The heat and agitation can damage the shoe's materials and structure.
- Drying: Air dry shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape while drying.
- Wear and Tear: Regularly inspect the outsole for excessive wear and the upper for any damage. Rotate with other shoes if possible to extend their lifespan.
