Light, bouncy and stable! Cool looking too:) My first time buying Saucony running shoes and I’m impressed👍🏼
I jog 2-3 times a week but it’s limited due to multiple knee surgeries. An MRI last month revealed a torn ACL, and medial lateral meniscal tears along with bone contusions. I’m a 5,9” 210lb overpronated 44 year old so I have all that going for me lol. The pain is minimal while running in these shoes. I’m not breaking any speed records by going at a 9-9:30 m/m pace (sometimes (11:00 m/m pace) for 3 miles, but these shoes allow me to keep doing what I enjoy. I don’t run to lose weight or get faster. I run for my mental health. Speed and weight are just bonuses. I also wear other brands, but Saucony knocked this out of the park.
This a great show with more stability than the Endorphin series, but feels similar and has similar build and sole. I use my Endorphins for longer races like 10ks and 1/2s but training in those is probably not the best except maybe tempo runs. If you like the Endorphin Speeds, this is a very good longer trainer but without the stiff nylon technology
The Temlus are great, fitting in as a good daily trainer that can handle some faster workouts and quietly and unobtrusively give some support. All while being fairly lightweight (not as much as my Speeds, but decent given their slightly different focus). I hope Saucony keeps the Tempus in the lineup going forward.
Great shoe! As a stability shoe wearer my search has ended at the Tempus! A true blend of performance and stability! Game changer for sure! Solid job Saucony! Can’t wait for additional color ways!!
To the best of my knowledge, After the discontinuation of the Asics DS trainer model, Saucony Tempus is one of the lightest stability shoes on the market. For this reason, the flat-foot runner usually uses this shoe both in training and racing session. As a training shoe, Saucony Tempus gives me enough stability. I always feel safe and secure in this shoe. As a racing shoe, it gives me a bouncy feeling, especially at a pace below 6.45 minutes per kilometer. Nothing to complain about this shoe. If it is possible, please use the more ventilated upper like Saucony endophrine pro 3 in the next Tempus model to reduce a little more weight.
I try hard to be critical when writing these… but I honestly don’t have anything negative to say. Competitive runner. Pacific Northwest. Pavement for the most part. Usually running 5 days a week. I’m a heel striker. I could feel the contour compliment my transition. I’ve had plenty of shoes absorb my heel-heavy contact well, but I’ve never had a shoe do this AND guide me through the transition this effortlessly. The spring was great! Not too soft, not too dense… just responsive and fun! I like the rubber around the lace holes. The shoe doesn’t feel like a clamp when it’s tied tight. Lastly, they’re very stable. I feel less at risk for rolling my ankle when I’m fatigued. These are IT!! My Brooks are going in the trash.
Comfortable right out of the box. Well cushioned and supportive for my fallen arches. Orthotics ruined my past running shoes which I no longer insert. This particular shoe is advantageous in that I do not need orthotics. The build of this shoe replaces them. Otherwise, the outside heel area would deteriorate. I like the slight front toe drop. Something the previous brands lack. While running, the max cushion absorbs the shock from jogging on pavement for 5 miles over flat or slopped surfaces. Therefore, no sore knees or sharp ankles pains. I've had other brands of this type running shoe. All great. However, this one seems just a bit better
I am not a runner but I’ve been running for many years occasionally. I didn’t bother to buy a special pair of running shoes because I don’t believe the ADs. Recently I went to local shoe store and was told I need stability model. I bought Tempus and started to use it. It is amazing. The change is unnoticeable but significant. I don’t feel too special on these shoes but my running distance greatly increased. I used to feel pain after running 10k but now I can increase my distance to 30km on regular run without knees or ankle pain. I was shocked to see the change. I am looking forward to seeing more results.
I don’t know what’s going on with this company. I’ve bought many shoes over the course of many years with satisfaction for moderate running. The last pair of shoes until the recent purchases was an Omni 21 and was very happy with it. Purchased an Omni 22 because the 21 was not available. The heel cup on the right side was terribly annoying. Returned the product. Figured that it was just a design in that particular model And purchased the Tempest. However, on using it on two occasions, I found that the right big toe was rubbing up against the sidewall and in the front. I’ve returned this product as well. Same shoe size for 60 years with no issue. I guess I’m looking for another vendor.
We appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
