    I used to wear Nike and Asic’s for running shoes when the store by my house recommended I try the Tempus as a sort of experiment with pronation. I’m a highschool distance runner who’s pretty competitive and these shoes have worked so great for me. I got around 450 miles on my last pair before they started to wear down and I’m about 200 miles into my new pair and they have barely shown any wear. Unfortunately, these shoes are not particularly fast and have a relatively low energy return. They’re a little too cushiony sometimes especially when running downhill. Wouldn’t reccomend them for heel-strikers. My last complaint is that they’re more pricy than other trainers. These are usually $170 before tax at my local store compared to a lot of other brands which have trainers that are about the same for only $130.

    My foot doesn’t have an arch so I need stability shoes for running, didn’t want heavy slow shoes for track season, found these and they help so much with stride and are far lighter than any other stability shoes

    Curves in a little too narrow--the Saucony Axon 3, much cheaper, has a wider flare. They should marry these two models!

    If you are over super plush shoes, like a firmer ride, with a quality midsole that will last forever, this is the shoe.

    A bit on the firmer side, but amazing for upbeat runs.

    Very comfortable and well cushioned with hardly noticeable stability features. Very durable 350+ miles on first pair with room for plenty more. Good wide toe box
