FAQs

How heavy is the shoe?

Does this shoe provide support for overpronation?

Troubleshooting
Feeling of instability during cornering
Focus on a more deliberate midfoot strike and decrease speed slightly during tight turns to account for the high stack height.
Visible wear on outsole tread
Ensure you are using the shoe primarily on asphalt or track surfaces; frequent use on abrasive gravel or rocky trails will accelerate tread degradation.
Upper material showing stains
Gently hand wash with a soft-bristled brush, cold water, and mild detergent. Allow to air dry naturally away from heat sources.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hyperion Max 4 trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Given the polyester or nylon upper materials, always clean the shoes using a soft brush and mild soap if they become caked in mud. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the foam cushioning and the bonding agents. For optimal compatibility, ensure you are wearing the correct size to prevent heel slip, and note that the shoe is designed as a neutral trainer, meaning it does not provide medial support for severe overpronation. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the elasticity of the midsole materials.
