Pros:# Lightweight# Perfect heel lockdown# Feet feel stable/firmly planted# Grippy - like many brooks shoes, rubber is softer but with the trade off being less kmCons:# Super Thin Tongue - the biggest problem I had with these shoes. The tongue is thinner than a piece of paper. The laces put a lot of pressure on the top of my feet, causing them to feel tingly or lose feeling no matter how loosely they are tied. The shorter the run the better as my feet hurt the longer they are in them.# A bit too firm. I expected a bit more bounce (like a slightly firmer version of adidas boost soles). The Hyperion Tempo feel more harsh on landing than expected. I will try to avoid use on roads and paths and keep them for grass tracks or light trails.#Expensive.

I'm a bigger runner (5'10, 190 lbs) and use these for all run types: speedwork, tempo, and long runs. I really do like them a lot. I have been a Brooks (Launch & Ghost) / Mizuno Wave Rider wearer for a long time but I kept wanting Hoka-like cushioning. Hokas just don't work for me--too narrow, too little heel-toe drop, too little support, whatever it was, I just couldn't run in them without pain.The Hyperion Tempo is a great middle ground. It's not as squishy as a Hoka, but certainly feels more cushioned than the Mizuno WR and Brooks Launch, but a lot lighter than the Ghost and WR. The upper appears to be one piece so there haven't been any hot-spots, but because of that I would caution against using these on a technical trail.

There's very little support within the upper so you might turn an ankle a bit more easily. But for hot weather these are very breathable and for groomed trails, roads, and track work, I like them very much.

This shoe was a pleasant surprise for me in so many ways. I'll start from the bottom up: the outsole has great grip, but I think - key word, think, it's contributing to why it's not a full five star shoe. The midsole is great, has excellent pop that many reviewers have mentioned, and absolutely shines at higher speeds. However, and this is where the outsole ties in, the midsole gets a bit stiff at slower speeds and I think it may be related to the rubber on the outsole. One other thing about the outsole - it's temperature sensitive, meaning, you lose the bounce and pop at cold temps. This is definitely a 50 degree and above midsole. And now the real star of the shoe for me - the upper. The upper is just wow. First time I put them on it just felt like it was meant to ... MoreThis shoe was a pleasant surprise for me in so many ways.

Overall, it's a great combo and one that I use for my tempo days, intervals, but it's not a easy/recovery day shoe for me.

Excellent! Bought after reading the Solereview's review and they lived up to the praise. PB for 10K on firs run. Typically running 30-40 seconds a mile faster in these shoes than in Brooks Adrenaline GTS 21 and Adidas Solar Boost ST. Hyperion Tempo are a neutral shoe, which feel great, despite being "diagnosed" as an over pronator and recommended stability shoes in the past. Fit is good, tongue stays put and laces give precise fit. Good stability on the dodgy local pavements and soke grips well. About a third lighter than the Adrenaline GTS and Solar Boost too. Great service from Start Fitness as usual - ordered Friday night and had them by Sunday afternoon.
I came across these with the hope they would help me with my Tempo runs & feel faster. They've exceeded that hope in so many ways. I've seen reports that question their durability yet I'm at 425 miles right now on hot Houston cement, and they are still churning along. After serving as my race shoe for 10k & half marathon, their primary purpose is my weekly long runs. Seriously, friends are tired of me talking about them and I wish Brooks would share more details about when a new model will be released. I love these shoes.
I have sensitive ankles after a surgery, and the collar of these shoes (like many brands) aggravated by pressing against the inside ankle bone. I added an aftermarket insole to alter the angle /pressure point and then liked the shoes quite well. Extremely lightweight and the black/aqua color scheme is bueno, but I noticed the hard portion of the soles is a somewhat thin layer of hard rubber over very soft foam, so not clear how durable these will be.
Nice shoe, fits well, lightweight upper and sole. Best for neutral foot, I occasionally use some pronation control, but get by without it for short runs/ races. After a few runs I plan to use these for up to 7-8 miles of faster paced running, but would opt for something with some support for longer runs. Straight foam and no rubber on sole, not quite sure how long these will last as a result.
Light weight running shoe but first impressions were solid. I've been training recently in a 2020 Brooks Ghost. In that shoe the sole feels a bit too soft and spongy. This runner feels much more responsive but still more than enough cushion to take on longer runs. Nylon upper appears that it would have too much give but is very supportive. Only minor drawback is the nylon laces which are quite stretchy making it a little tough to lace tightly yet not too constrictive. Shoe feels a little long when I first put them on but I would say they are similar fit to other Brooks runners of the same sizing.
These are like the Ghost but lighter, faster, less fatiguing, and they hold up better. I usually get around 200 miles in a pair of brooks but my hyperions currently have over 400. I mainly use them on a paved bike path with occasional dirt path usage. The longest run I've done in them is 30 miles - they could have kept going but my body could not. I am definitely buying a second pair.
With just over 30 miles on my Hyperion Tempos, take my comments with some salt.I have found these to be very comfortable, responsive and an all around good neutral shoe. I've run in Brooks Ghosts, Launches, Hokas and I'm alternating the HT-s with Mizuno WR 23's. I've kept my HT runs under 6 miles so far and feel they have cushioning similar to Hoka's Rincon line, but with a more responsive feel under foot. It could be the Fall weather, or the school kid "new shoes make me run fast" feeling, but I have been uptempo-ing my runs in these.They fit true to size and like a glove around your foot. I've done some sockless runs and not encountered hotspots but others may have different experiences. I would only recommend thin socks with these shoes as thicker socks would ... MoreWith just over 30 miles on my Hyperion Tempos, take my comments with some salt.I have found these to be very comfortable, responsive and an all around good neutral shoe.

I have straight-laced my toe box area for just a bit more room for my toes to spread out, but generally I like the wrap-around feel.Overall very satisfied with them so far and hope that they don't wear out quickly. The Black/ice blue combination is a cool look. I hope Brooks and other manufacturers continue to make bold color statements as the standards of grey, white, etc are BORING and not fun to wear.
