Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Hyperion Elite 5, it is important to treat them as specialized equipment rather than everyday trainers.
- Break-in Period: Before committing to a long-distance race, perform a few 3-5 mile runs to allow the foam and plate to adapt to your foot.
- Surface Compatibility: Stick to paved asphalt or synthetic track surfaces to prevent premature wear of the outsole.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt using a soft-bristled brush. Avoid submerging in water or using harsh detergents. Air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can degrade the midsole foam.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a climate-controlled environment to keep the proprietary foam compounds from hardening or losing elasticity.
