PositiveAfter 70 km, a light runner says the Hyperion Elite 4 PB is a viable race-day shoe, extremely snappy at fast paces, but unstable enough at easy paces that they nearly rolled an ankle.

PositiveA great racing shoe that stands up well against the best on the market and is Brooks' best racer yet. He wouldn't rush to buy it, though, given the quality of rivals and the imminent successor.

PositiveNot one tester's first pick. Brooks finally has a competitive marathon racer that stacks up against the Vaporfly, Metaspeed and Adios Pro 4. One tester, burned by v2 (22 miles to bloody heels), wouldn't make it her #1 start-line pick but thinks it will be for many. Another tester is wary of how Brooks has rolled out its racers.
