Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Hyperion Max 4 is a high-performance, lightweight race training shoe designed for adult male runners looking to increase their pace during daily training sessions. By combining a generous 45mm stack height with a responsive propulsive plate, the shoe effectively minimizes impact while maximizing energy return for faster transitions. While it offers exceptional cushioning and support for high-mileage training, users should note that the specialized design is primarily optimized for speed and racing efforts rather than casual, slow-paced recovery runs.

FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for daily recovery runs?
While durable, the Hyperion Max 4 is engineered for speed. It is best used for tempo, interval, or threshold runs rather than slow recovery days.
How long should the foam cushioning last?
Typically, you can expect between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface, body weight, and running gait.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are designed primarily for roads and tracks. Their high stack height may be unstable on technical or uneven trail terrain.
What is the primary material in the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality, breathable nylon, designed for both durability and comfort during high-intensity training.
Does the shoe come in different widths?
This model is currently available in standard widths. Check specific availability for your local region or retailer.
Can I remove the insole?
Yes, the insoles are removable, which is helpful if you need to air them out or insert custom orthotic devices.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during sharp turns
Ensure the laces are tied with a 'runner's loop' to lock the heel in place, as the high stack height requires a very secure fit.
Upper material showing signs of dust accumulation
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt from the nylon mesh fibers before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Brooks Hyperion Max 4, verify that you have chosen your standard UK running shoe size; the secure upper provides a locked-in feel suitable for varied foot shapes. If you wear custom orthotics, the internal space is generally accommodating, though you may need to remove the stock insole to achieve the correct volume. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized foam and adhesive bonds. Instead, remove surface dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior nylon mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping.
