Expert Review Sources
- Doctors of Running : 90.0 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 8.5 mm drop and weighing 266 g, the Saucony Tempus provides neutral biomechanical guidance and a well-centered heel bevel (a 8.5 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
- RunRepeat : 89.6 / 100 — « We found the Tempus from Saucony to be an excellent stability running shoe for a variety of paces and distances. Whether we're running slow (just not recovery-day slow), picking up the pace, or running short or long miles, this shoe can handle it. Even more, it's not the type of support shoe that's reserved solely for overpronators (whose feet roll inward). The Saucony Tempus also welcomes neutral runners who want stable strides all the way. »
- The Running Collective : 86.3 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the Saucony Tempus delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its PWRRUN+ midsole. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €190. »
