Brooks Hyperion Tempo

The Hyperion tempo is a great shoe for the price (I paid $100), especially for shorter tempo runs, intervals on road or track, and is pretty decent for some races. I raced a half marathon and 15 different 5ks in this shoe, before moving it to training-only. I used it for 2 training runs per week on average. My foot is just a little bit narrow and it fits perfectly with tight lacing, but it should fit a range of widths depending on how you lace it. It doesn’t offer too much energy return, but its light weight makes it fast with just the right amount of cushioning for tempos and speed work. I have also run a few 10 mile training runs in this shoe and the cushioning still feels perfect by the end. This shoe is very comfortable and feels sturdy enough. My only complaint would be the laces, which feel a little thin and too stretchy. You may want to replace them with stiffer laces for the best experience.

The shoe fits my feet very well and transitions smoothly from contact to push off.  The cushioning is just right to save the legs from pounding running on pavement without being mushy.   Ground feel is just right and light weight and bounce are good for ,as the name suggests, “tempo” runs and distance interval training.   I am getting another pair immediately.  durability is good, expect to last 450 miles

Read stellar reviews for this show and then saw them on clearance so picked up a pair. So far I've only run a speed workout and a 5k race, but they fit great, are very light, and are pretty comfortable. Like others have said these compare well to Kinvaras. They are my favorite Brooks shoe since the Pure Flow.

The Hyperion Tempo is a solid lightweight shoe that fits my narrow foot very well.   I’m a heel striker and typically get 300-400 miles until the outsole shows significant west.   It’s cushioned enough for long runs, but light enough for track work and tempos.   if you’re someone who doesn’t need the carbon plated super shoes, the Hyperion Tempo is great. 

Lighterweight trainer for quality workouts. 

The cushion is fairly minimal on this shoe, and provides a great feel for the ground under your feet. It's especially nice for fast workouts but I also did 10-12 mile runs and it felt good then. If you are doing more than 50 mile weeks I would consider a shoe with a little more cushion. I got about 250 miles out of these before they began to wear down.

These shoes aren’t really comparable because ones for trail and ones for road but I’ve gone back to Brooks because I noticed that the Altra got considerably sloppier in their fit, they changed the shoe way too much and almost always, not for the better, they didn’t last very long, and the lone Peak five was such a sloppy fit. When I rolled my ankle my foot had so much play in the shoe. I broke my ankle and half. On the other hand, the Brooks last the Brooks have a consistent fit, both in their trail and the road shoe, and the Hyperion is just as superior racing shoe. I really like the escalante but I can’t continue risking broken bones, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis just to name a few. I’ve heard the new lone Peak is a major improvement over the last one I wore, but after the broken bone I’m very gun, shy.

Light and comfortable for faster sessions. It doesn’t have as much cushion as an everyday trainer, but it still provides good support. Feels light and peppy to run in on faster days. It seems a little expensive, but unfortunately prices of most shoes are increasing. It’s in line with most comparable shoes.

I was concerned that they would be too flexible for my feet (poor foot mechanics) but this wasn't the case. They are soft and the  cushioning is very nice, but it doesn't suck the energy out of my stride like other soft shoes - gives a good amount back. They're nice and light with a comfortable upper (seems stretchy). Can't say they were super durable though. The cushion seems to have lost a bit of it's energy return after about 100 miles.
