I bought these shoes on sale. This is my third pair of Saucony Tempus, and I wanted a new color to match some of my clothes better. I love these shoes!

I bought the Tempus to use as a speedwork shoe during my training for the 2023 London Marathon. I am a mild to moderate overpronator with an extensive injury history, so I am always nervous stepping away from "true" stability shoes like the Guide I use for long runs. However, this shoe has really been a game changer for me. It is SO comfortable underfoot and I get lots of energy return during my speed workouts with enough stability to keep my form in check. I was even considering using this shoe as my race day shoe for the marathon, but at longer distances I am struggling with blisters. It's possible the toe box is a little too narrow for me over those distances. However, overall, this is such an exciting shoe for those of use with stability needs and I look forward to seeing future iterations.

One of the most supportive shoes Ive ever worked out in. Great arch support and not too flexible.

I had bad heel pain the day after runs for about two months. I worked on all the objective things wrong with my right leg and foot and was about 75% better. I wore these for a five mile race, something I hadnt done since having a baby 1.5 years ago and it was a piece of cake. Ive been running faster and longer in the past two months without pain

First of all, I'm so glad Saucony Canada added the Gold/Red choice as I was tempted to ask someone visiting from the US to bring me a pair. The original three colors offered in Canada were so blah.
I needed a couple of months to make up my mind on these. My favorite shoe is the Endorphin Shift (2), but wanted to try out a different shoe. With so many people raving about the Endorphin Speed (2), I gave them a try, but am either not "advanced" enough to like those, or they will just not work for me on more than an occasional basis (wobbly while running, sore ankles afterwards).
These work better than the Speed-2s, not wobbly (left-right) at all, and much more flexible than the Shift-2s. I find that I've been pushing myself harder on these than the Shift-2s, and then try to match the improved speed on the Shift-2s on the weekend.
It did take a couple of months for me to get used to and appreciate these. As others have noted, the tongue is on the thin side, so when you over-tighten the laces, you will feel it.
I'm sure others have noted the advantages of alternating between sufficiently different shoes. If your regular shoe is the Endorphin Shift, this will likely work better than the Endorphin Speed (2) as your alternate shoe. I wondered whether the Speed-3 would work, but these soles look sturdier, and I like this color better than any of the Speed-3 offerings. Who wants shoes they don't like to look at?

I was really excited to receive my Tempus pair, but was quickly disappointed in the sizing. For me, they were about a full size too small. Felt lightweight and supportive, so will likely try a pair at a running store where I can test out various sizes to get the right one.

The fit and size were fine, but the toe box was lower than previous Sauconly's. After wearing for one day, both of my big toes were sore from the pressure of the top of the shoe. I've been wearing Saucony's for years and will continue to wear them, but this style did not work for me.

I've literally tried on over 100 pairs of stability running shoes and these felt the best however the sole of the shoe is made with a styrofoam type of product and some reviewers claim it wears poorly. I wish Saucony could do better with the sole; it would make shopping for sneakers easier. This has been a full time job. I was formerly a New Balance wearer but their quality has all but disappeared.

I ordered the Alloy/Quartz color in size 11. I usually love Saucony shoes and they fit my feet perfectly. The gray color was nice, but a little darker than I had wanted. I didn't particularly like the lines on the top of the toe box. They fit like usual...once I could get them on! The thin/breathable floppy tongue made them very difficult to put on and also difficult to get the tongue to lay flat and stay put. They were nice when they were on, nothing special. I knew the putting-on process would be a daily source of frustration for me, so I returned them. I'll try another Saucony style.

I wear size 11 wide and these felt a bit longer than most of my other 11s. The material above the toe area was very thin which may have been cooler in summer but I felt it wouldn't wear well. The toe box was plenty wide but unfortunately the support was somewhat lacking and the outside of my foot hurt when I walked in them. Sadly, I'm sending them back.

Bought these for walking to replace discontinued Hurricane 23. They are not as sturdy or as comfortable as the Hurricane. Please bring back the Hurricane 23!

This is my second pair of Tempus. I like the arch support and cushioning, but the new material on the uppers doesn't have the form fit I expect from my Tempus.
