Troubleshooting
Feeling of instability during sharp corners
The high 45 mm stack height is designed for linear speed. Ensure you are landing centrally and reduce speed slightly during technical turns.
Uncomfortable pressure on the top of the foot
Loosen the lacing system, specifically through the mid-foot eyelets, to allow for natural foot swelling that occurs during longer runs.
Pros and Cons

- Lightweight build prevents unnecessary fatigue

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hyperion Max 4 trainers, perform a thorough break-in period on shorter, slower runs to allow the foam and plate to conform to your gait. These shoes are neutral trainers, making them compatible with runners who do not require specific arch support or stability posts.
Care instructions:
- Hand wash with mild soap and cold water using a soft brush.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as heat can degrade the cushioning components.
- Air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources to preserve the integrity of the materials.
- Rotate your shoes with another pair to allow the midsole foam to fully recover its shape between runs.
