Our verdict

It's expensive but it sure did pace us! The zapatillas de running Brooks mujer trail talla 44.5 verdes is a road racing shoe that's everything fast. It's rockered, light, and has a great blend of bounce and rigidity for that pop! And it's not exclusively for racing - if you want to do some tempo training in it, you can! If there was anything lackluster about this shoe, it's the durability.

Who should NOT buy zapatillas de running Brooks mujer trail talla 44.5 verdes  

Don't buy it if:

  • you don’t want to pay an expensive price for a heavy and frail shoe. Brooks Hyperion Tempo is better for your budget. 
  • you don't want a stiff shoe. Fortunately, Hyperion Tempo is also softer.  
  • you're looking for stability due to overpronation (flat feet). Ravena 11 is a stability shoe made for speed. 

Hyperion Elite 2 vs. 1: Buy the Hyperion Elite 2 

The main change that was implemented in the zapatillas de running Brooks mujer trail talla 44.5 verdes has been on the midsole (made softer) and it also now features a wider base plus a higher stack height (+2 mm). Such reconstruction indicates the following:

Brooks sabé bien como hacer bien unas zapatillas para correr | What got better

  • Fast ride
  • Cushier foam than the first
  • Better stability  
  • Good blend of rigidity and smoothness


What got worse

  • Heavier
  • Wide base hinders snappy toe/roll-off 
  • Heel abrasion


An average midsole

Running in this Brooks shoe, we felt a very bouncy and responsive cushioning and, of course, the rocker shape which promotes a very effortless forward motion.

Contrary to other carbon-plated models, it doesn’t have the fastest toe/roll-off but at least it's not as aggressive.

Is Hyperion Elite 2 flexible

It is an ounce heavier than the original, weighing 7.6 oz (216g). Not only is it heavier than the original but it is also heavier than other carbon-plated super shoes like the Vaporfly Next% (187 grams) and the FuelCell RC Elite (207 grams). 

Durability sucks!

After only 40 miles, we can already see the rubber at the bottom wearing out. Brooks may have overestimated the shoe’s shelf life.

Hyperion Elite 2 is fast and stable

It os so unusual for a plated race shoe to feel stable! But the Hyperion Elite 2 makes it possible with the help of its wide platform. 

A no-no for wet conditions

Testing the Elite 2 in wet conditions felt dangerous as its exposed foam made the shoe's bottom too slick. But it does have a good grip on dry surfaces. 

A lot of work for heel strikers

Because the rocker form of the shoe keeps the runner up on the toes, it’s not the best shoe for heel strikers. Attempting to heel strike in the Hyperion Elite 2 led to calf soreness.

To our great disappointment, the shoe's heel collar felt loose in our regular running shoe size. That resulted in annoying heel slippage.

A so-so lacing system

We cannot say whether the shoe's lacing system is good or bad. We felt that the nike were too closely spaced while the laces were too short.
