Saucony Tempus 2

Saucony Tempus 2 review: what runners say

Fit

Snug fit compared to the previous version, with reduced volume and a more performance-oriented feel. Narrow to medium foot: true to size; wide foot: look elsewhere.

Feel

PWRRUN PB with a PWRRUN frame around it: snappy response and noticeable bounce, with a slightly firmer ride than other super-foams. Requires about 40 miles of break-in before performing at its best.

Durability

300 miles as a general threshold; heavier runners report cushioning breakdown around 350 miles with minimal visible wear. XT-900 outsole holds up well.

Best for

Daily trainer for runners with moderate stability needs looking to handle mixed sessions: long run, tempo, fartlek. Not the first choice for pure track work or fast 5Ks.

Weak points

Narrow toebox up front flagged by multiple sources; break-in perceived as longer than average. One source reports internal liner delamination on two consecutive pairs (isolated case, not corroborated by the rest of the corpus).
