Which should you pick?

head-to-head · opinion

These are the same shoe in different fits: the Brooks Hyperion 3 and the Hyperion 3 Women's are both moderate-cushion, 8 mm drop uptempo trainers at 140 USD, so pick by the fit you need rather than by performance. Choose whichever matches your foot, but note the Women's version runs narrow in the toe box and comes in standard width only, so runners with wider feet should look elsewhere.
