Brooks Hyperion Elite 5 Trainers - Blue - UK 10

The Brooks Hyperion Elite 5 are optimized for race day distances from 10K to marathons, and also for elite-level tempo training sessions.

While they offer cushioning, their design is specialized for maximum performance on race day. For high-mileage daily training, a more durable trainer might be a better option to preserve the Hyperion Elite 5's responsiveness for key workouts and races.

The shoes weigh approximately 195.6 grams (6.9 ounces) for a men's size 9.

Neutral support means the shoe is designed for runners who do not overpronate (their foot does not roll excessively inward). It provides balanced cushioning without specific features to correct or control foot motion.

Clean them using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or fully immersing the shoes. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.

The upper is made of lightweight engineered mesh (textile, synthetic). The lining is textile, and the sole consists of a textile inner and a rubber outer.

Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs or walks to gradually adapt the materials and your feet to the shoe's structure, especially the carbon plate.

The midsole foam and carbon plate are designed for peak performance. Lifespan for maximum efficiency is typically tied to racing and specific tempo runs. Consider replacing them after a significant number of high-intensity efforts or when the foam feels noticeably less responsive.

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose. If irritation persists, the shoe's fit might not be ideal for your foot shape. Check the lacing system for any potential pressure points.

The outsole is optimized for dry to moderately wet road conditions. On extremely wet or slippery surfaces, exercise caution. The grip may be reduced compared to shoes designed for all-weather traction.
