i have a pair of hyperion tempos, and i really like the cushion but lightness and the ideal 8mm heel drop (in my opinion). however the toe box is a bit too narrow. my toes often hurt and feel jammed. would sizing up help? or, what are some shoes similar to hyperion tempos that aren’t as narrow?
honestly any heel drop from 4-8 i’ll try. nothing out of that range though!
The Endorphin Speed 2 (not 3) is far superior.

this isn’t on topic but has anyone tried clifton 8s for an easy day shoe? did you like them or not? i’m having trouble finding good shoes and need some easy recommendations.
I really like the springy midsole of the hyperion tempos that seems tuned for my weight, and the brooks catamount is the only other shoe they make that is entirely the same DNA Flash midsole material. It's kind of the trail version of the tempos, but is definitely a road to trail shoe so you might try it - I use mine on the road more than trail. I prefer a wide toe box, and the tempos work "okay" for me because the upper is stretchy even if the shoe is not wide. The catamount, on the other hand, has a stiffer upper and midsole but is slightly wider, and overall is a better fit for me. Try on the catamount before buying, as there are lots of fans but some people don't like them.
The new Catamount 2 available soon seems closer to the tempos, along with being more narrow like the tempos.
Oh, and the catamounts have a 6mm drop.
In general sizing up a half size to get more width is okay and helps slightly, but any more than that, and the costs outweigh the benefits. Usually the shoe will be annoyingly long, the heel will start to slip, extra weight, etc. Best to find a shoe that works better for you.
