First I want to say that I absolutely love the Hyperion Tempo and have used it as my daily trainer since February when it first released. Gone through three pair at this point and is my favorite overall shoe of all time.
However, this Hyperion Elite 2 really disappoints me. The stability is there, the foam is there this time after the too firm Elite 1, and the weight is there. The heel counter in this shoe absolutely destroyed my achilles on my first workout in the shoe. During the 6 mile tempo run the blister became progressively worse and it is still recovering two days later. I do not know how this got past initial testing the Hyperion Tempo’s heel counter is amazing and so comfortable but this one is curved inwards and causes instant hot spots. Hope this will fade after being broken in but not sure yet. Otherwise amazing shoe but if I get blisters every run that will be a deal breaker especially for long distance races.

I love the Hyperion Tempo’s DNA Flash foam so I have been very excited for this shoe and it did not disappoint! First run out of the box was a 4 mile time trial and the shoe performed very well. The pace felt very smooth after the first 1/4 mile and it made turns better than any other “super shoe” I have tried. The shoe is a great blend of light, springy, stable, and comfortable. It will be my new racer at every distance on the road!

I’ve only run a fast tempo workout and an interval workout in these but I am very impressed. I was running faster paces than I felt like I was running, with ease. I’m planning on racing the B.A.A. (virtual) distance medley in them. I was an entrant for this year’s Boston Marathon and had purchased a pair of Nike Next% in my excitement about qualifying and getting in. When Boston finally cancelled I immediately returned the Nike’s because I was never confident in the fit (my toes on one side were hitting the toe-bumper but another size up would have been sloppy). I was excitedly anticipating a Brooks marathon “super-shoe”, especially having enjoyed the Hyperion Tempos over the last 6 months or so (see my review of those). The HE2 are a joy right out of the box. I like many of the same things I love about the Tempos: the snug midfoot fit and ability to lock that in with the laces, the generous toe box, and the super light, breathable upper. Then there’s that midsole which is springy and responsive and very protective at the same time. I like that the plate is not noticeable at slower paces where the roll design dominates, but at quicker paces it encourages you to fly, especially if you’re a midfoot striker (as I am). Some people have expressed a wish for a gusseted tongue but for me the tongue stays put. Another issue some have mentioned is the heel collar rubbing and causing blisters on the Achilles area. To err on the side of caution, I put a little piece of tape there and had no problem. I expect that edge will soften with use anyway, but I’m sure Brooks is listening. Most of all, I want to emphasize that this shoe is comfortable, fun and stable. I’m a neutral runner but I ordered a couple of “super shoes” to try and had my husband film my feet from behind in slow motion while running on the treadmill. Despite the high stack height, my landings in this shoe were perfectly stable (normal, healthy pronation). In starkest comparison were the NB RC Elites, which had impressed me at first as being an extremely bouncy, fun shoe. However, we were shocked to see that they forced a pronounced extra movement at every footfalla pronation I don’t naturally have. Amplifying that over 26.2 miles cannot be a good thing, so I immediately returned them. When I finally took the HE2’s outside and did those fast workouts, my legs felt fresher than they normally would after that kind of running, so I am very much looking forward to taking them to HM and marathon distance. I found my super-shoe!

I’ve put in about 20 miles of tempo runs in this shoe. I’ve run in all the other brands carbon plated shoes which are fast but comes with some post run issues. The Hyperion Elite 2 is not only fast but my feet better than in these vs the other carbon plated shoes. My feet feel less achy the next day too. I will be buying a second pair. This has become my favorite shoe in my arsenal.

The sizing here is very odd. I take an 8 -81/2 and ordered a 9. I would need a 10 if I were keeping the shoe.
Not sure what the design benefits are. I’m a veteran runner, I’d say there is less improvement with these shoes as claimed and more elements just plain missing. Insoles for example feel like a very thin piece of cardboard. This shoe feels hard, delicate and brittle. They weigh no more than a normal pair of, say, boot socks. Personally, I want to feel when I run that I am, in fact, wearing shoes. My speed is a function of several variables, feeling as though my feet are wrapped in a few Kleenex is not one of them. This shoe takes light weight to an almost dangerous extreme. I wanted very much to like this shoe. Comments – whose authenticity I’m in some doubt now – told me to get ready to love them, but they’re on their way back. Be careful here…

NOt a good fit for me . loved the ball of the foot cushion but the heel cup was too deep and rubbed

Order one half size up as normal size wouldn’t fit. On the third run the front portion of the sole started peeling off the toe. Should not happen with a $250 shoe. Run is fine.

After taking a few years off from racing, these sneakers were completely different (in a good way) from what I was used to. For half marathons or less I always used Brooks T7 and ST5 for marathons. So coming from a minimalist-low cushion racer to the Hyperion was completely new experience.
The Hyperions felt light, comfortable and bouncy. I didn’t experience any blistering or chaffing in the Achilles area as others have described. The sneakers propel me throughout the race and definitely delayed the onset of leg fatigue.

This is a great shoe, but I think it runs big. Super comfortable and great support all along the foot.

great shoe – I won 2nd place in a 5K first time wearing them

I am a long-time Brooks shoe runner (>10 years wearing Brooks shoes). Always love Launch and Ghost. While training for a few marathons this year, I decided to try Hyperion Elite 2. I order a pair of size 9, which is the size I wear for Launch and Ghost. However, because my second toe is longer than my big toe, the front of the shoe kept pushing my toes during the first a few runs and it hurt badly. So I returned them and order another pair of size 9.5. I just wore them this morning for a 18-mile run. It was PERFECT! The balance of speed and cushion is superb! I felt I was flying sometimes because the ultralight cushion :-). The description of Hyperion Elite 2 says “Best stride. Every stride.” So true! I am going to run the upcoming Martha Vineyard marathon in these shoes and I know it will help my performance a great deal!

This was a good fit for me. I wear a 7.5 in most shoes, including athletic. The cushioning is great (I need this because I have a bad back), yet I still “feel” the road beneath me.
LilRock –
Best shoe on the market, just wish there was a law forbidding to sell at a price so high for such little material.
JessicaK –
These are fabulous running shoes. Put them on and take off for a run.
DamenH –
Very light shoe & comfortable. Feels like I’m floating
TimothyR –
Amazing shoe, almost perfect if there is such a thing : ) one of the most comfortable. Has great cushion but not to much. One of my favorites. The shoe is everything that it claims to be.
If they can keep the performance exactly as it is and go for ultra light weight, it would be the number one road racing/ training shoe.
SteveS –
Great light weight support pushing you forward. This shoe is like a Indy car!! Put a hat on to keep your hair down.
JoS –
Amazing- wow- never spent so much on shoes but worth every penny and about to get another! Like walking on air
ErikaW –
Great racing shoe for a runner who is comfortable running in neutral shoes and wants an extra boost. These provide a little something extra over the Hyperion Tempo. Highly recommend!
EricaF –
Best running shoes I’ve had! Got these a couple weeks ago and they have run everyday. I prefer to run 3-10 miles on the road so I look for a shoe that propels me forward. These have tons of cushion, and help propel me but are a very light shoe. Other shoes I’ve tried go get this feeling: ASICS novablast, Nike react, brooks levitate.. these are by far the best and “springy”. I generally wear a 6.5 Womens size shoe, bought a 5.5 unisex for these and they are perfect. Will definitely get these again.
MelanieB –
Brooks are the best running shoes for all terrains. I especially love the Hyperion Elite $ Tempo, as I have both I’m an avid runner, trail runner, biker, and overall gym rat. Brooks are the best and I own at least 8-10 pairs
JosephJ –
Light weight with great balance and comfort for races or long long runs!
DEBORAHU –
These shoes really helped me to go out and walk and run. As a lazy runner I would do a slow walk, then run for three miles and then walk back. All told five miles. And I would do it maybe once a week. These shoes helped me tremendously and I felt very bouncy and confident in them. They really helped my fatigue. I was able to keep going whereas in other shoes I would just stop and take an Uber home. Things like that. The shoes lasted about a year for me, and they looked great the entire time. One morning I put them on and they didn’t feel cushy or bouncy anymore. I had put around 300 miles on them. Time to order a new pair.
TommyJ –
I love this shoe for races. I train in the Glycerin. But race with the Hyperion Elite. Very cushioned ride. Just enough room in the toe box. I prefer a roomy toe box.
DebraG –
