The Brooks Hyperion GTS 2 is a stability shoe designed for runners seeking a balanced combination of agility and support. This model is ideal for heel strikers due to its 12 mm drop, which promotes a natural gait while providing stability during runs.
Lab results indicate that the shoe features a firm 31.5 HA foam, translating to a stable platform that enhances performance on various terrains. Runners will find the design allows for effective ground contact, contributing to an overall responsive experience.
However, the Brooks Hyperion GTS 2 may not be suitable for long-distance runs or forefoot strikers, as the high drop coupled with thin front cushioning can produce a less comfortable feel in the forefoot area.
