Customer Reviews Saucony Tempus

Wow, I can finally jog with no issues. These shoes are like wearing cushiony springs. I am over 60 and have always wanted to be able to jog but unfortunately my feet and legs would not cooperate. I have flat feet and require a very wide toebox with volume so my big toe doesn't break through and a narrow heel with a great deal of support. I have been looking for a good running shoe for at least 5 years, since New Balance decided not to make great support shoes any longer. Well, let me say, this shoe is amazingly supportive, has a wide and voluminous toebox and more spring than any shoe I've tried. In the past year I have actually bought probably 100 pairs and nothing worked until these. I have now bought the original and Tempus 2. The only downside, and it's considerable is that the styrofoam on the sole has started to peel a bit after only 1 month. Still, these are fabulous shoes when you have really difficult feet.

These are very lightweight but didn't have enough padding under the ball of my foot. I also don't like how much they rock back and forth. The cushion in the rest of the shoe was really good though.

Had to return as the shoes did run a little narrow. I also needed to order 1/2 size larger.

I loved this show for my feet! Immediately when I put one on and walked in the house, without question, I thought this is the shoe! However, a couple days later I put them both on and walked around. It really seems to squeeze my left toe box…some on my right but significantly on my left to where I would notice my feet while walking through the house. I bent down to feel and the shoes were so tight on the outside of the toe box. I have high a tech, narrow heel, wide toe box, and pronate inward. These shows were amazing with stability! And actually, it met my need in arch support and heel width as well. If it weren’t for the squeeze in the toe box…I would buy multiple pairs!!! I hoped this would be in a wide and perhaps that would solve my issue, but it doesn’t seem to be available in a wide. Sizing…true to size in what I normally wear in running shoes. I am a size 6 casual shoe but size up a full size for running. These were true to my norm.

I'm recovering from an ankle/ligament injury and was in need of a running shoe with good shock absorption without compromising stability, and in that regard these were perfect. I ordered 1/2 size up and they fit great, unfortunately I have flat arches and the instep of this shoe hits in a weird spot that caused noticeable pain just from wearing them. (I've had this same issue with other brands as well, so not a defect of this shoe.) Didn't bother trying the wider size as that would have made the heel and toe bed way too big.

The shoes squeaked with every step. I can't stand that. Color was harsher than I thought. Don't care for soles that stick out at sides. Felt great, though.
