Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Hyperion Elite 5 trainers, treat them as high-performance equipment rather than casual footwear.
- Break-in Period: While they feel great out of the box, take them for at least two shorter, faster runs to get accustomed to the sensation of the TPU plate.
- Surface Usage: These are designed for hard, paved road surfaces; avoid heavy use on gravel or technical trails to prevent outsole wear.
- Cleaning: Remove surface mud or debris using a soft brush. If cleaning is necessary, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can degrade the specialized foam and adhesive bonds.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which can cause the performance foams to compress or deform prematurely.
