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. Recommended for narrow feet; runners with wide feet will find the toe box and midfoot restrictive.

Feel

Reactive, bouncy ride courtesy of the dual-layer PWRRUN PB / PWRRUN stack. Requires roughly 40 miles of break-in before delivering full comfort; once dialed in, stable without sacrificing pace.

Durability

XT-900 outsole holds up well; users report 300 miles with no perceptible degradation, with foam breakdown around 350 miles for heavier runners (~183 lbs). Outlasts the Hurricane 24 in projected longevity.

Best for

Moderate-stability trainer for runners mixing easy days, tempo, and long runs. Suited for half marathon and marathon distances; less ideal for short, high-speed sessions where the weight becomes noticeable.

Weak points

Narrow toe box in the forefoot for wide feet; foam feels slightly firm compared to more recent PWRRUN PB iterations. Some users flag poor breathability at the instep.
