FAQs

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Hyperion Max 4?

The Hyperion Max 4 features a 6mm heel-to-toe drop.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon racing?

Yes, they are designed for speed and endurance, making them an excellent choice for long-distance efforts and racing.

Can I use these for trail running?

These shoes are engineered specifically for road surfaces. They lack the grip and structural stability required for technical trails.

How should I clean my Brooks trainers?

Use a soft brush with warm water and mild soap. Air dry them in a shaded, well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources.

What is the stack height?

The Hyperion Max 4 has a stack height of 45mm.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe during speed work

Adjust the lacing technique to include a 'runner's loop' or heel lock to increase security around the ankle.

Feeling of instability at higher speeds

Ensure your foot strike is landing mid-foot and focus on a quicker cadence to better engage the propulsion plate.

Rapid wear on the outsole

Verify that you are using the shoes primarily on paved roads; use on abrasive concrete or gravel can accelerate wear on the outsole material.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return for faster paces
  • Effective shock absorption for long-distance training
  • Lightweight construction minimizes foot fatigue
  • Propulsion plate encourages a smooth, efficient gait

Cons

  • High stack height may compromise stability for some runners
  • Specific road-focused design is less versatile for trail use
  • Requires adaptation for those new to high-stack performance trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, start by ensuring the shoes fit snugly without pressure points, as the lightweight material is designed to move with your foot. These trainers are strictly for road use and should be avoided on rocky or uneven terrain to preserve the integrity of the outsole and foam. To care for your shoes, always untie them before removing them to prevent heel counter damage. If they get wet or dirty, clean them using a soft brush, warm water, and mild soap. Never machine wash or machine dry the trainers, as high heat can degrade the cushioning system and weaken the adhesives holding the shoe together.
