Customer Reviews Saucony Tempus

I bought these shoes a month ago and let me tell you, as a supinator, these shoes work. Amazing feel and ride.

After years of other shoes, I will l never go back

Bought these at my local running store. Very nice stability that helped with my ankle pain. I tried switching from Tempus to NB SuperComp Trainers, however had to switch back to Tempus. Good shoes that I will continue to use into the future

On the very short list of best running shoes I've ever owned. The lightweight cushioning factor is pretty tough to beat!

I would still consider myself new to running (2 years with my third half marathon of the year scheduled for next week). I am still looking for the perfect shoe from among all of the options. I ran my first 1/2 with the Tempus and it was good. After I wore that out, I tried three other shoes before coming back to my second pair of Tempus and I am thankful I did. I didn't realize how heavy and stiff the others were until I returned. Glad to be back in a comfortable shoe!

Approaching 250 miles in the Tempi and they are holding up quite well. I really appreciate the substantial midfoot cushion. I am not particularly fast, but I find that they adapt well to slower or faster paced workouts. I expect that this pair will last quite a bit longer, but I anticipate buying another pair.

Despite running for many years and being a legit shoe-nerd, I have never bought the same pair twice. Until now. The Tempus is a 'stability' shoe that still lets me pick up the pace, with plenty of cushion and support for the easy days and long runs. It's a shoe that can legitimately be your whole rotation (up to and including marathon racing). Congrats on a stability shoe that finally figures out how to be fun, Saucony. For reference, I'm a 5'11"/220lbs runner who has mild/moderate stability needs.

Excellent show for much needed arch support. Eliminated all the discomfort and pain

Bought these last year after reading a lot of hype (~100 miles on the shoes so far). I have been obsessively trying to find the perfect stability shoe that balances stability and responsiveness while giving stability wearers a fast shoe. And this shoe is as close to that goal as I have ever found. It's light and springy, almost begging you to run fast in them. The fit and lockdown are fantastic (I often have problems as I have a wide forefoot and narrow heel). My average pace in these shoes is 20-40 seconds faster per mile than most other stability shoes I've had, and within a week of buying these I posted PB 5k and 10k runs. That said, no shoe is perfect and there's always room for improvement. There is very minimal padding in the tongue and heel, which isn't a huge issue but does take away what could be a more plush feeling. I am pretty sure you could add just a touch of padding without increasing the weight notably. Also, the laces that came with my Vizipro version are terrible - they're round, stiff, and hard, with very little stretch. When combined with the minimal padding in the tongue I had some lace bite and had to make some adjustments/changes in lacing. While the lockdown is generally good, I do have to use a runners lace to get a firm lockdown. Also, the stability here is mild - if you are a more moderate to severe overpronator, you'll notice it on longer runs. The medial arch is also quite intrusive and can aggravate my plantar fasciitis. I can almost guarantee I'll be hobbled a bit after any run over 5 miles (due to the arch and the mildness of the stability). More lateral stability would be appreciated too.

Very nice shoe! From the first time I put it on it just felt comfortable. The fit was great and the ride is smooth and soft. Looking forward to many miles on these!

Absolutely the best running shoes I've ever owned. I was a devote Adidias Supernova shoe buyer from as far back as 1990. There are incredibly stable, springy, and plush without being squishy. Please make these in a trail shoe.

Comfortable without being overly plush. Surprisingly lightweight. I'm really enjoying the Tempus, and if it holds up it will replace my usual Gaviota 4s.

I've been wearing the Rides for about 1.5 years now and decided to give these a go and they are fantastic. true to size on fit and super comfortable. I run b/w 25-30 miles a week and love these!

I loked. Is good shoe. Very fast. Good drop very soft

Fast in 5k and comfort in a 50k. Second pair will keep buying. 250 plus on the first pair still good.

I bought these shoes less than month ago and have loved them! I was wearing Saucony Endorphin Speeds (first gen) and realized my over pronation was starting to cause knee pain. I wanted to maintain the lightweight, soft ride of the Endorphin Speeds, but with more support. The minute I tried in the Tempus, I knew it was the best of both worlds. I've only put in 25 miles in them so far but excited to continue using these shoes for both short and long distance runs.

I over pronoate, so have been using the Guide 15s for a while. Someone suggested I try the Tempus. Great ride, not as much "guide" as the Guides themselves but a fun shoe with plenty of support

Bought these for my first marathon and they did not fail at all. (I am 6'1 210lbs )Ran about 20 miles in them before the marathon and couldn't be happier broke in pretty quick. Great support, stability, and cushion. My feet did not hurt at all, for a stability shoe they are the lightest i have tried. You can pick up the pace in these or go for easy runs. Favorite all around shoe.

true to size and great support for my moderate pronation

Light and reactive for a stability shoe. Always Asics then tried Hoka. Now Saucony shoe of choice. Tempus provides great balance of cushioning, stability (I'm slight pronator), breathable, and comparatively light. They fit smaller so go 1/2 up typically.

I have been wearing Sauconys ISO 2s for the last few years. Now that they were no longer in the product line, I made the switch to a more stable shoe in the Tempus. All I can say is WOW. After my first run I could tell that it was less stress on my knees vs what I was used to, and had more bounce + lighter. I am 30, 5'10, 190lb. Possible placebo effect but I've shed about 5s a mile on avg pace. Really great shoe that had me excited to run.

I've tried New Balance 860, Adrenaline GTS, Infinity Reacts, Invincibles, and Vomeros, but this is by far my favorite shoe. It's light weight, durable, has perfect grip, and has held up great for 60 miles so far. That's not to mention that the PWR run foam throughout the shoe makes it bouncy and that the mix of two foams makes it stable.

Best shoe ever! This is my second pair and if it goes on sale, I'm thinking about buying a third pair.

So far I have ran just short of 20 miles in these shoes and they are amazing! I ran on gravel, pavement, trails, and grass and could not tell a difference in what surface I was running on. The cushion is amazing, energy return makes me run faster than before even on easy runs, and they are super lightweight. I run 5-6 days a week to train for cross country and these are the perfect stability shoes. Not only that, but even though they are stability shoes, many runners who run in neutral shoes find themselves loving this shoe. So far these shoes have proven that they can handle any pace. I have done easy runs, base runs, long runs, strides, and flying 40s and they have been amazing in all of them. I would highly recommend these shoes to someone who is looking for a comfortable shoe that has the capacity for both easy and fast running. I also highly recommend and thank Runners Forum for helping me find these amazing shoes and give me the functionality I was looking for in a running shoe.

Having been in Hoka Arahi and Brooks Adrenaline before these, I can comfortably say this is the best stability running shoe. Saucony somehow found a way to keep a stability shoe from being too clunky or feeling like it was providing too much guidance in how my foot travels across the ground. They also have a noticeable springy feel to them, love them!
