BrooksWomen's Hyperion Tempo Road Running Shoe

Update on Ricochet; A good shoe, but it never really matches the springy yet structured lightness and the glove like fit of the Tempo. I returned it and buying another Tempo. It will discontinue in favor of the new Tempo which is different.Adrenaline GTS is the guardrail version of Ghosts (which I wore for years until they felt heavy). I had a couple of bad falls forward in the Adrenaline GTS; the second landed me in ER followed by physical therapy and dental work. Dangerous at any age, more so at 69. I didn't connect feeling like I was leaning forward in them to the falls, since they were quite comfortable. No falls in the Ghosts. Both have a 12mm midsole drop, are cushiony, and in the 10 oz range.I bought the Hyperion Tempo, which I love followed by Ricochets. The Tempo is super light and the shape is darn near perfect for my feet. Both Tempo and Ricochet have an 8mm midsole drop. With 4mm subtracted, the major difference is that my hips/center of gravity are straight over my feet, no correcting for leaning forward, and I can strike from the midsole, not the heel. Physical therapy corrected my balance, posture and gait, but these sneakers are a definite improvement. I'm a fast road walker who used to run before the falls. Now I feel more confident to speed up without foot drag or tripping. Midsole drop, weight and less cushioning make a big difference for me.I've walked in the Tempo four times so far but not yet in the Ricochet. The Tempo is springy and fast, cushion a bit harder than I'm used to, at first. But they softened up nicely after 2-3 wears and feel cushiony enough for me now. Ricochet's pretty much the same. I'm keeping both.Fit: with socks and for width, I'm an 11.5B. I have to wear socks with some compression (type 2 diabetes). I have narrow heels but wide metatarsals/ball width, with my second toe being the longest, and the Brooks last fits my foot shape well. (In comparison, Nikes lead to hip and knee pain after a month.) I've done Try before Buying at least 12 pairs of Brooks in sizes 11-11.5B or wide widths when available. I can't recommend it enough, because I find different Books models vary in size and width, even in the same model; consistency is a problem. Worst example: Trace 2's 11W is narrower (and feels shorter) than its 11M. Also tried Launch, Revel, newer Ghost, others. The Hyperion Tempo was an instant love, though I had to size up a half size. My feet have never felt so light yet still supported.Tempo's toe box is generous with tiny slits to accommodate more height. Ricochet also has a generous toebox, both are good for my longer second toe. And the heels are nice and snug. Hyperion Tempo's upper seems molded. Ricochet upper is knit yet stiffer/thicker. Both model tongues are long and nicely thin. With both Hyperion and Ricochet, I'm only tightening the top/second lace to accommodate my width, but still get good arch and side to side support.Hyperion pet peeves is the laces. They're thin but have these...things? notches?...sticking from each side. Harder to unlace.The standout feature in the Tempo for me is its more generous width/fit and incredibly light, well fitting upper that somehow stills gives great support. I got drenched in the rain and soaked through my socks. But I didn't feel squishy or uncomfortable, and the Tempos dry out quick.Price: Great discount on the Tempo both here and mfr. website. I just wish Amazon sellers featured that Brooks Run Happy guarantee.Style/vibe: I love the happy, fizzy Tempo colorway, even in black. Compared to it the Ricochet is funereal (but that color was 60% cheaper, so no complaints). But it's nice to have two different vibes. The important thing is the fit.

Most comfortable shoe you will ever wear. Light weight, breathable material and all made. Had great support. I am flat footed with a wide fit and have a hard time finding a shoe that fits properly. Easy to clean and look great. The sole has great tread for running or walking. Worth every penny.

These are the most comfortable running shoes I've ever worn! They are so light weight and super springy. I usually order size 11 shoes because my feet are wide and I have a bunion (thanks to wearing high heels every day in my 20s). I got a 10.5 and they fit perfect! I can't wait to start training for my next half marathon in these.

Took away 1 star because it's not true to size for me. After I sized up, another great shoe from Brooks. Plenty of support for for my daily 3 mile walk. Very comfortable, love the color and an affordable price.

Love the color and they are very comfy!!

Pros: very light, flexible but still feel supported, great color way. I’m wearing them 3x week for indoor treadmill workouts.Not sure yet about how well the thin upper material or shoelaces will hold up over time. The laces are stretchy material. I’ll update if anything gives.

Loved the style , even down to the unique laces. They were very light weight and comfortable in the sole , however I have one foot that’s slightly wider . I wore them a couple times hoping I could get a little stretch but they were just too painful

A few months ago, I bought Ghost 15s because I had heard such wonderful things about them. I have never been in love with them; They felt a little bulky and my legs felt heavier/more tired.Before a 10K race, I took a chance and ordered Hyperion Tempos and ran for them for the first time in the race — a risk that paid off!These are so light on my feet and very comfortable. They feel plenty supportive, but they aren’t super padded, so that is a consideration if you intend to use these for very long runs. They were perfect for the 10K and likely for the distances I do, but I’m not sure how they would compare for 10+ mile runs.

Llegaron en tiempo, muy ligeros y cómodos para carreras de velocidad

When I first tried this shoes I knew I will make a lot of km in them. They are comfortable, light and perfect for my foot. Buying them over Amazon was easy and they came fast and on time. I will buy them again :)
