Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight/loose
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter feel, ensure the laces are evenly distributed. For more room, try a different lacing pattern or loosen the laces near the forefoot. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Running shoes have a finite lifespan. The DNA FLASH v2 cushioning may feel less responsive after extensive mileage (typically 300-500 miles). Consider replacing the shoes if performance degrades significantly.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While designed for asphalt, traction may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Run with caution in wet conditions and be mindful of your stride.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Brooks Hyperion Max 3 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. We recommend a snug fit without being too tight, allowing for natural foot swell during runs.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for neutral runners and are optimized for use on asphalt and hard, paved surfaces. They are suitable for long training runs and fast races.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during the drying process.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or damp environments.
