The Brooks Hyperion Max 4 is a super trainer with a firm, stiff ride with a tapered toe box. A new triple jacquard mesh upper sits up top that adds breathability but a tapered toe box that some may need to go up a half size in. The DNA Gold Peba top layer combined with a speed vault plate and a bottom layer of DNA Flash v2 provides a surprisingly firm ride for how much shoe there is with a stiff transition that works better at uptempo paces. A significant medial cutout creates medial midfoot bias for those who need lateral support but not for those with medial support needs. As one of the heavier super trainers out there, the Brooks Hyperion Max 4 works best for uptempo and longer miles for those wanting a bit more durability than all-out speed.
