Best praise vs top criticism for Brooks Hyperion Elite 3
“At first yes but now that they are broken in or I’m used to them they feel great. Try to keep loose form with them it’s tough at times with a softer shoe. When I first was using them I definitely was tensing up my forefoot. when I put the elite v3 on I feel awesome they work really well together.”
“I’ve given some preliminary thoughts on them on TT/IG/YT, I wasn’t told to keep them under embargo so I’m actually equally confused why my fellow reviewers haven’t said much about them at all. High level it’s a good shoe but to me I LOVED the Hyperion 2 and the 3 basically changed…everything? It’s much more of a daily trainer, almost a slightly firmer NovaBlast or a faster more nimble ghost. Not really a lightweight trainer anymore So while I don’t dislike the shoe I’m very sad that it changed so much”
