Customer Reviews New Balance Fresh Foam Tempo

Simply the right shoe for me. Soft and comfortable, light, elegant.

I am a beginner runner and I did a lot of research before purchasing. I have a neutral arch, my foot is 27.3 CM long and just over 4 inches wide. I went with a 9.5, with a "wide" width shoe. The chart I referred to said regular width was 3.9. I wish I went with the regular width because there is just a tiny bit too much room in the toe box. So I have to lace a little tighter than normal. But they still work well. They heel cup is great and provides great support with no heel slippage or uncomfortable spots. Right out of the box I went for a 4 mile run with no problems. They are pretty light, but have good cushion and support. I wear them everyday as well as on runs. I also purchased a pair of 1080 V10s to the line up for 6+ mile treks. I went with black and gray and I am very happy so far. Would recommend. During my research I narrows my choice down to these, and the Saucony Kinvara.

Comfortable fit. Laces up tight. I do lots of powerwalking, and the shoe absorbs the concrete sidewalks and roadways where I live. I read about the shoe in a review in Outdoor magazine. Glad I got a pair.

I will used this for speed run and short distances at speed

My first pair of NB in many years. I'm sorry I waited so long to get another pair! They fit well and are very comfortable for casual wear and walking, plus they look great. I did need to go up a half size for proper fit. All together happy with my purchase.

Thanks for thinking about men in bringing COLOR to the athletic shoe. Love it and have received many complements about them. They were also SHOCK that they were made in the good old USA. Keep up the good work and keep the COLORS flowing.

This shoe is very comfortable and great for running. I am glad I bought a half size larger.

This shoe revisits the original success of the Fresh Foam Zante. Great light running Shoe with plenty of support and cushion. As advised the shoe runs small and go up a half size from your normal NB shoe.

I use the product for my walking and everyday. They are lightweight and fit great!

I only buy New Balance, was trying to replace my 1080 Fresh Foam and order these, not 1080s but good value shoes, would recommend them but if looking for the sturdy and amazing 1080s, you might be a little disappoint, but after many, many dozens of shoes for my large family we never went wrong with New Balance.

I use this shoe for walking daily. It's very cushioned.Would I buy this again......I already have

I was intrigued when I saw the Fresh Foam Tempo announced as I really love the 1080v10 - both have very cool and stylish upper colorways and fabric. I bought the Tempo in blue to complement my orange/fire 1080v10. The Tempo has a more traditional looking profile than the 1080v10 with its flared back, and I think they are a great complement to each other. The Tempo definitely runs 1/2 size small and it was great that the NB website highlighted that, as I got it in size 12 while the 1080 fits perfectly in my regular size, which is 11 1/2.

Amazingly comfortable, lightweight, with perfect all around cushioning.

Great fitting shoe and very responsive to my needs

extremely comfortable and light weight feels like could run or walk for miles

I just got them a few weeks ago. They fit good and feel good, I am not new to NB but I am new to this model shoe. read the reviews and bought a half size up since they said they run small. I am glad I did.

I have been buying NB Shoes for decades and there a reason for that. Great design and comfort. Sometimes I buy a 4E or 2E. Maybe some day you will design a 3E. Many Thanks.

Great shoe. Light And flexible. Makes me feel faster.

Good comfort in the heel which is what I need. Great style Great shoe.

I ran the first day I got them. Ran the second. Third day I was hungover. Fourth day, back at it. Fifth day, long run. Sixth day, nice run and felt so darn good I read a book. Third Fresh Foam Runner I've gotten. Great stuff and very happy with the purchase.

These are my replacement NB for the Fresh Foam 1080 series. Very similar fit but just a tad snug in the toe. I wore these to the gym and they are very light and do a great job at absorbing impact energy. Felt like I was walking on a cloud at times. I then used these on the treadmill for a half hour. Great bounce back after each stride. As far as style goes, these hit the mark will all age groups. The neutral colors are very low key for the person who just wants a basic looking running shoe. My only complaint would be that they run about a half size too small. I had to return mine for a larger pair. Overall, very solid running shoe for the casual athlete.

Shoes fit and feel great. They feel so light and comfortable. They're perfect for running and everyday activities. I give them 4/5 stars, because they are a bit pricy. Unless you're on a budget, I highly recommend getting these shoes.

This is a good sneaker for running, walking, and overall fitness activities. Good support and look OK, but I don't think they look as nice as the Zante model that the Tempo has replaced.
