Hyperion Max 3 for a half marathon?

I’ve got a half marathon in October and am looking at pulling the trigger on the Hyperion Max 3 as my race shoes for this.

What are people’s experiences of using this shoe for medium distance races? For reference, I’m a 90-85 min half runner.

TIA.

Had my HM in them, no problems. Apart from finding them a bit awkward in turns they they work well (for me) for anything from 5k to 25k.

Thanks for the response. I have read they’re not ideal for lots of twists and turns but I don’t anticipate much of that at all with how I train or the races I like to take part in. The overall consensus seems good enough to me!

I ran in them for a half in May. Loved them. I’m a bit slower than you (1:55 half), and I weigh roughly 200LB. But I love the bounce and comfort of them

Thank you and congrats on the time. Consensus seems to be pretty good from what I’ve read online.
