Bolsa de selim Brooks England Scape Roll verde escuro | Who should buy Brooks Hyperion Elite 2
This is a race day shoe that's great for marathons and other long-distance runs. If you want to go fast, take this shoe. Be warned, it is a carbon-plated shoe so it’s stiff.

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.

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 grammes) and the zapatillas de running Brooks talla 46 rosas baratas menos de 60 (207 grammes).
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.
Heel slippage warning
To our great disappointment, the shoe's heel collar felt loose in our regular running shoe size. That resulted in annoying heel slippage.

We cannot say whether the shoe's lacing system is good or bad. We felt that the eyelets were too loosely spaced while the laces were too short.
We also had to readjust the laces middle of the run to achieve a precise fit.
