Bought this one year ago and kind of forgot about it, wiped it out today for 16km run and I'm impressed, it's fantastic shoe, especially for uptempo pace. Feel better then speed 3 and this doesn't have plate - which is bonus as way to many shoes have plates this days, they need it or not companies seems to throw plates into everything just to justify higher price. Imo we have way to many plated shoes which possibly weaken our feet, and don't get me wrong plates have a place - but not in every running shoe lol

[@johnbrianestares9288]

Funny you casually forgot about this shoe for a year meanwhile its not available in my country along w/ manny other stability shoes

[@tkwasik]

@johnbrianestares9288 sorry about that mate hope that will change, myself I do not need stability shoe, but this one is good one - no stability people can enjoy it ..

[@deks440]

Ordered these as I have flat feet and have had issues. The medial arch is meant to bring your foot into neutral. It will feel strange at first but probs best to build up your running miles with the shoes allow your feet to adjust to them rather than doing high mileage straight away

[@marklanghorn9220]

I have flat feet and tried these but the high arch does feel weird

[@deks440]

@Mark Langhorn Mate I ain't gonna lie to you, after about 30k Sent them back as I couldn't get used to the feeling in the medial arch. But loads of people love them hopefully they come good for you 🙏🏾

[@marklanghorn9220]

@@deks440 yeah I might persevere for a couple of more runs and see how I get on

[@sneakpick129]

I would get these for my slow/lazy runs lol. Thanks for the review!

[@Islandboy099]

Did a 15k race in Tempus last week and they felt wonderful. Will buy these again but will wait for V2 in 2024.

[@fatrunner]

Been looking forward to this shoe review. Gutted to hear about the high arch. I have flat feet so I'm not sure this will be the shoe for me after all. 😢

[@FordyRuns]

🤦‍♂️

[@Krilin84]

My understanding is that if you over pronate then by definition you have flat(ter) feet. So if this shoe is trying to remedy pronation, then it should be designed with people with flat feet in mind.That said, of course I don't know if this logic actually holds true in real life, but it makes sense to me to use a higher arch to artificially induce it in people's overly flat/pronating feet 🧐🤷‍♂️

[@fatrunner]

@@Krilin84 the other support shoes I use don't have a prominent arch so I don't know really but he said it was uncomfortable, which isn't a great sign.

[@Krilin84]

@@fatrunner true, if it's not comfortable it's probably not a good fit. Would be interesting to see fordys arches to have some context!

[@robertmorano2372]

Sadly, even though I am (or was) a Saucony junkie, I have never run on the pb foam. I will however, yell Altra provision 6 for a light and lively stability shoe that can do just about anything. I'm not a stability shoe runner, but I recently have fallen in love with altras stability system for the days where I want a little help. Especially as I finally say goodbye to this plantar fasciitis. I do still love Saucony though.

[@soupyruns9709]

Do you think the Altra provision cured your Plantar fasciitis?

[@robertmorano2372]

@@soupyruns9709 maybe, kind of. They definitely helped me with strengthening my feet. But at the same time, I've been using other pairs of altras in combo (recently) with an old pair of kinvaras and barefoot style shoes casually. In the provisions defense, a shoe by itself is not going to get rid of a pf issue. I still run in them and like them a lot. I rotate them with the escalante racer and have been very happy with them.

[@soupyruns9709]

@@robertmorano2372 thanks for the info, I’ve been struggling with PF for the past 5 months but was only properly diagnosed with it 2-3 weeks ago by a podiatrist 🤦🏻‍♂️ my Dr was convinced it wasn’t PF even though I was 90% sure it was, he thought it was gout or nerve damage 🙈 but now that I know it’s PF I’ve taken a break from running, hitting the gym, doing plenty of stretching, calves, hamstrings, glutes, quads, hip flexors etc, wearing loose shoes, strengthening my feet all that good stuff and it’s made a significant improvement, I’ve even started back easy running this week, think the wide toe box in the Altra’s is the way to go but would be concerned about changing to a zero drop shoe.

[@asphethl]

We need: endorphin speed 3 vs tempus Esp for mild pronating guys!

[@FordyRuns]

Actually be pro 3 vs tempus I reckon

[@firminodias4419]

Flat feet means the need for stability shoes… and that shoe isn’t good for people with flat feet?

[@hallarf]

Spot on with the video Fordy..Being a stability shoe runner I've noticed even more when going back from my Endorphin Pro 2 to my Brooks gts 22!! (Sorry) that sort of spring that the 2 provides..Thanks for the advice on the Pro 2 being a good option for us stability runners..Just need a decent long run shoe now..

[@FordyRuns]

try these for those long runs

[@user-ib2bh6ne4s]

Hi Fordy. Thanks for your great content. I got the Tempus v1 from your recommendation and its been great 😁. Needs to replace soon so what would you recommend - GT 2000 v12, Vongo v6, Puma Forever Run or wait for the Tempus v2? Thanks so much 👍🏾

[@paulaislabie2123]

Great Review, I have just broken my foot in a race in my speeds and was wondering if the Tempus would make a good choice when I can return back to training, what do you think?

[@WinningInters]

Great review, definitely picking up a pair. Hoka is releasing the Gaviota 4 also which will be a easy everyday trainer (please review) Would you still use the endorphin pro for a full marathon though or the tempus?

[@FordyRuns]

Yeah I’d still go pro

[@paulstevens3015]

@@FordyRuns but would you say Tempus is more stable?

[@djbeama]

Isnt the supported arch actually exactly what flat feet need, or am i lost in translation? I mean if i had a high arches i wouldnt been looking for a fun stability shoe all the time. The supported arch is actually preventing a flatfooters' ankle from rolling inwards which is intended to prevent overloading of the inner calf muscles. Or did i get that wrong?

[@FordyRuns]

I mention it purely from comfort and that I noticed it

[@ptlewis2000]

I appreciate this video! As the #bigbonedflatfootedrunner trying to qualify for Boston with too many shoes, I think I’ll wait until the second version or for these to go on sale. I don’t hear an immediate need for replacing my Endorphin Pro, Zoom Fly 4, Kayano, Endorphin Shift, or even Carbon X. Maybe when the Prism v1 finally dies. But being flat footed with a (finally) dependable training line up it’s going to be a wait and see for me. I still need to get more miles in my boring shoes like the Guide and the Kayano Lite. Stick a plate in it, widen the midfoot and level out that arch.

[@BillyButcher91]

Great review Fordy, do you think this would be a good shoe past half marathon distance for full marathon distance?

[@FordyRuns]

Maybe depends if you chasing a time

[@Milk-Soda]

Hey Fordy do you prefer these or the Arahi 6’s? Love the videos!

[@FordyRuns]

These

[@wonkydonkey7899]

The only grip I have is their colorways. None of them pique my interest.

[@clairewright2567]

Currently run in saucony endorphin speed 2s with custom made orthotics for my super flat feet. I’m excited to try these as I can’t run in a normal stability shoe without my orthotics as the arch support just isn’t high enough so I’m hoping these higher arches will work for me. Great review thanks

[@UnderDog748]

Great review as always ! Do you think you’ll be trying the ride 15s?

[@FordyRuns]

Yep

[@johnnyirizarry1276]

For walking you think it has great cushion and comfort?

[@dalibor2767]

Thanks Fordy! For someone who needs some stability, but also doesn't do well with prominent arches in shoes, what would you recommend as a runner up? I was recently running in the NB Vongo's, which were great but ended up too tight on longer distances. Considering the Guide 15. Let me know what you think. Thanks again =)

[@frontierlandfrank5314]

What shoes did you end up with?

[@dalibor2767]

Kayano 30s in the wide fit. So far they are working really well. I also tried the Guide 15's but prefer the Kayano's despite being a bit heavier. I find my legs still feel pretty fresh after running in the Kayano's but not in the Guides@@frontierlandfrank5314

[@teasetarte17]

Saucony Tempus or the new Triumph 20? Are they hot shoes? I live in a hot climate.

[@alporridge5228]

I love my Prism V1. If you had to pick only one of them?

[@joefran84]

Great review and having also watched your guide 15 review, I’m not convinced this is worth the extra money? Especially as I have a low arch, the guide 15 seems like the better option. They seem to be the same weight and the firmer midsole in the guide 15 could also help when picking up the pace… thoughts?

[@FordyRuns]

We got a vs video coming soon but I think it’s what you want them for. The tempus will take you through race day where the guide is limited to training in my view. I love them both

[@joefran84]

@@FordyRuns makes sense and thanks 👍🏽

[@anthonyg9389]

Same here. Can get the guide 15 for half the price of the tempus now. Can we run half marathons in the guide?

[@dorins3787]

This shoe is for flat feet and that high arch offers the needed support! They did not work for me at all exactly because of this. Put 40 km, was in plenty of pain. Now I have to sell them. The shoes are very stable. Fairly bouncy. Fast. But only for low arch runners. People with high arch will have their mechanics messed up.

[@str8up50]

I have flat feet at 270lbs and these are a dream. So much so I bought a second pair

[@Artemis-v8i]

Really? Because a complaint of this shoe is the arch is protruding.

Hi. I am a neutral runner. Is that a problem to buy a stability shoe like this one (Tempus) ? Thank you.

[@MadelnMachines]

Sounds like a more lively and fun guide 15? Is it as good at slower paces? Speed 2 and Pro prices are looking quite tempting at the moment but I might they might not be stable enough. I have high arches so should be alright in the Tempus.

[@FordyRuns]

Yep very good we wasn’t running fast yesterday.

[@MadelnMachines]

@@FordyRuns How do you think it compares to other Saucony shoes like the Guide, Speed and Pro?

[@chris_mcc_]

Not sure why companies make stability shoes with high arches. Most flat footed runners will look for a stability shoe, but the high arch will cause discomfort and blisters 😔 Also, you would think that Saucony would have fixed their outsoles by now. It’s not a secret that they’re all terrible. Rant over 😂
