Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Hyperion Max4 is a high-stack trainer designed for female runners who want a versatile balance of speed, cushioning, and durability. Whether you are tackling interval training, tempo runs, or preparing for race day, these trainers provide a responsive feel and efficient energy return. While the shoe offers excellent propulsion and comfort, its high-stack construction may require a short adjustment period for runners used to lower-profile, minimalist footwear.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?
Yes, the combination of responsive cushioning and propulsion plates makes them excellent for race day, especially for runners who prefer a high-stack trainer.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the foam and the nylon plate. Stick to hand cleaning with a damp cloth.
Is this shoe good for flat feet?
The Hyperion Max4 is a neutral trainer. If you require significant arch support for flat feet, you may want to consult a professional about using custom orthotics.
How long should these trainers last?
Depending on your running surface and intensity, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles before the cushioning properties start to diminish.
Does the SpeedVault plate make the shoe too stiff?
The nylon plate is designed to be slightly more flexible than carbon fiber plates, providing propulsion without sacrificing too much comfort.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while running
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the ankle collar against your heel.
Foam feels stiff during first use
The DNA cushioning often requires a 'break-in' period of 10-20 miles to reach optimal flexibility.
Upper material showing signs of dirt
Use a damp sponge with mild soap to gently spot clean the white jacquard material, then allow to air dry completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Brooks Hyperion Max4 trainers last throughout your training cycles, proper care is essential. Always ensure the laces are tightened properly but not overly constricted to maintain circulation. The triple jacquard knit is sensitive to abrasive surfaces, so avoid using these on rough trails or rocky terrain. For cleaning, remove mud or debris after runs using a soft, dry brush. If the shoes become heavily soiled, hand wash them with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as heat can degrade the cushioning properties of the foam.
