Tempus

As a runner with stability needs who likes fun, light and responsive shoes, the Saucony Tempus 2 is my perfect shoe - supportive but fast at the same time. Ran a marathon in them but still take them out for speed sessions.

Which Tempus? I rocked v1 for a few years. Loved them. I ran in v2 for a bit. I felt that v2 was a step back compared to v1 so I moved onto other shoes. I may have to grab v3 from overseas somehow. They seem very promising. The Tempus was my first lightweight performance stability shoe (Aug 2022).

v2 fits a little shorter (and narrower) than v1. I still went with my normal size with no issues. v3 is fairly similar. The Tempus is a lightweight performance stability shoe 💯

Nice! I love funky colorways. I am thinking about pulling the trigger on these Tempus 3s: https://preview.redd.it/186ir1iqa7bg1.jpeg?width=1206&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbc7d9bef0961ed08c683c57c66a33101d539468

Try Asics S4+ Yogiri, if you can find them. Carbon plated and apparently meant specially for running the marathon in 4 hours. I wear a lot of stability shoes and I like them a lot. Also really recommend Saucony Tempus. Great shoes.

Hey everyone! I use custom orthotics and I'm struggling to find *the one* for easy/long run days. Here's what I've tried and why nothing stuck: **What worked (partially):** 🟢 **Puma ForeverRun Nitro 2:** Loved the fit: snug midfoot, roomy toe box. But the foam felt dead and heavy underfoot. Shape = 10/10, ride = 4/10. 🟡**Saucony Tempus:** Foam was *incredible*, exactly what I want in terms of responsiveness. But pinky toe was hanging off the edge, toe box too narrow. 🟡 **Brooks Glycerin GTS 20:** Comfortable and stable, but the ride felt flat and uninspiring. Needed more energy return. **What I already own:** Saucony Endorphin Speed for speed work, so I'm covered on that end. **What I'm looking for:** * **Use:** daily trainer / long runs * **Gait:** overpronator (significant), using custom orthotics so even neutral options are ok * **Must have:** wide-ish toe box + snug midfoot lockdown * **Dream foam:** something bouncy and responsive à la Tempus, NOT mushy/dead like the Puma Any suggestions? Topo, New Balance, Asics, Saucony, anything, I'm open. Thanks in advance!

I have the Guide 17 on rotation with the Tempus 1. I love the Tempus 1s as something for long/tempo work. They're good stable, non-supershoe option for marathons. I haven't tried the Tempus 2, however. I like the Guide 17, I've heard it's similar to the 18. It took me a some time to get used to the lower drop. They initially gave me some knee pain, but now I've used them on runs up to 13 miles without issue. Also, check out the Doctors of Running site, they have great reviews, especially when it comes to talking about stability. They also talk about a category they call stable neutral shoes, which are neutral shoes that are stable enough to be used by people who need some support.

I've had some success with the newest Wave Inspire (22) from Mizuno. Just a little heel slip here or there, but I have narrow feet so it happens in everything. If you can still find pairs, the Saucony Tempus v1 or v2. V3 is sadly a China only release this year, if you have a small enough foot size you can buy them on ebay.

V1 had some sizing issues. My true size fit fine, and rubbed in the toe on my smaller foot (weirdly not my bigger foot). V2 was fine for me, I didn't have any issues.

Wha sort of speed are you running? Superblasts 2s are great, but I only like them when running 5:30 min/km or faster, slower maybe saucony tempus 2, more of a stability shoe but great for kms and easy runs just not heaps of bounce in them

Yeah maybe not super blasts but that’s me personally, I highly recommend tempus 2s
