Excellent build quality with dent-free performance after 20 miles; primarily upper redesign maintains consistency. Responsive midsole holds integrity over long runs without degradation.
Tempus 2 excels as a lightweight stability shoe balancing speed and support. Responsive PWRRUN PB midsole and PWRRUN Support Frame make it ideal for uptempo efforts and marathons. Snug fit and firm midfoot limit easy-pace comfort and recovery use. Not designed for trail terrain.
Ideal for Intermediate to advanced runners with mild to moderate overpronation or neutral gait seeking extra support, who regularly run tempo work and speed sessions alongside longer efforts. Best suited for runners weighing 160+ pounds who value responsive, energetic rides and plan to race half marathons or marathons. Ideal for those transitioning from neutral shoes to stability trainers and wanting a shoe that doesn't feel clunky or restrictive during faster paces.
The Tempus 2 is designed for runners seeking a performance stability shoe that doesn't sacrifice speed. The updated upper is noticeably snugger than the original Tempus, providing a more locked-in, performance-oriented feel. Best suited for overpronators and stability-seeking runners who want to maintain pace during workouts and racing. True to size but runs narrow in the forefoot and midfoot compared to previous versions. Excellent for colder weather running. The snug fit may feel restrictive for those with wider feet or those accustomed to roomier stability shoes.
Sizing: True to size with medium width. Slightly narrower than the original Tempus, so those familiar with the previous version should be aware of the snugger fit. Medium width comparable to standard running shoes.
