Minus 1 star due to pull on loop popping off in my hand the very first time I put the Tempus on. Minus another star because an overlay or toe box angle rubs my little toes on my narrow feet. Bummer since I really love the bounce from the pwrrun pb and the stability. Might be awesome but I am considering returning.

This is suppose to be a neutral fit but the medial arch support is protruding so high up that it hurts early on. It almost felt like it's for people with high arch foot

shoes are not as supportive/stabilizing as advertised. I expected less ankle roll in.

I was expecting much more from the Tempus given the description and all the reviews. I started off running uphill with them and had the biggest grin on my face thinking "I'm running in a super shoe!". Then as I went slightly downhill my thought turned to "What the heck?". The foam seemed to compress and it just didn't feel good anymore.. It's a quality built shoe, mostly, for sure, but for me the foam was not enjoyable. It compressed in a way that did not work with my strides. Plus there was something about the structure of the shoe that did not work with me as well. The traction on damp pavement was not good. It felt like tiny little slips on each footsrike. I compared it to another brand in the support category right after a several mile run and the other brand was hands down far more enjoyable in most ways. The first thing I noticed was that the traction was far superior. No slipping at all. Also, the leg turnover was faster, the support better and the cushioning felt to be better engineered in all respects. The cushioning was very firm but soft even downhill. About 10 or so years ago the Saucony Omni saved the day for about a year when my formerly beloved brand discontinued models. So no hard feeling to Saucony. I will try Saucony in the future. In fact I have Saucony walking shoes, the Omni Walker, that are I believe the best in the world currently. Total quality, super stable for comfortable walking as far as you want to go. Look terrific.

These absolutely hurt my feet - the fit was fine, but when I ran - my feet became sore, and I couldn't wait to get them off. Too bad - I love Saucony, but these are terrible.

Shoe seems well made but far too narrow. I typically wear regular width running shoes and these were painful to wear.

The support in these shoes was uncomfortable for me. The arch support in the right shoe was digging into my arch. Both walking and running were uncomfortable. I returned the shoes.

They fit well and help me while running but they are just starting to show material degradation. And I bought it a month ago

Insole is not soft. Glue around the outsole is visible. I returned the shoes.

Not sure what happened. Ride 14 pair of shoes was far better than the Tempus. Am in need of a new pair after a month with the Tempus.

I do not like how the shoe laces thread through these sneakers. It is not easy to loosen or tighten the laces because the threading mechanism requires each side to run slightly parallel through an outer opening at one point and then criss cross later. Maybe these are the latest and greatest, but I'm old school and prefer regular a simple lacing that criss crosses evenly from end to end.

Will never order from Zappos again. Shoes arrived not packaged as a new pair would be and looks like they had been returned. When I pay full price for a product then I expect a brand new, never purchased, product to arrive. Not the first time this has occurred. BTW, already left one review regarding this and Zappos did not post it. They don't want to share their negative comments towards them as a company. Be aware.

I bought these recently and have worn them twice only for long 1 hour walks. The outer heel area where the outer shoe "Tempus" text is located is very stiff and hard, it rubs against my outer heel from the inside and has caused blisters on the left foot outer heel and beginning of another blister on my right foot heel. I will give them a few more tries hopefully the outer heel material of the shoe will soften, not sure but these are very stiff at the back.

I've tried three times because the shoe is decent and the right price, but the bottom always comes unglued with mild wear and tear. Its SO poorly made.

I have pretty flat feet so I have special insoles I use in my shoes to help. I've tried these shoes with and without the insoles and neither way has made these shoes comfortable. Feels like I'm running with bricks on my feet. First experience with Sauconys, had higher hopes.

The materials that this sneaker were made with are flimsy. This is the reason why I will not be buying your products any longer- you wear the sneakers for a couple of months and the material on the top rips- no thanks

Unfortunately I had to return the shoes. I've owned several pairs of Saucony running shoes and loved all of them. This was the1st pair I purchased on line. The uppers were stiff and very uncomfortable. The soles were hard and made it difficult to balance.

Based on reviews I ordered in wide and half a size larger than normal. Still was not wide enough and way too long. I will be looking at other shoes instead.

I ran in these a few times but can't bring myself to run in them anymore they are just so uncomfortable. They squish your toes together in the toe box. The cushioning is just not good what's ever. I feel like I'm running on bricks. This was my first Saucony shoe and I'm not sure I will be able to bring myself to try another one as I spent money on shoe that just collects dust now.

After two runs it felt like I was running barefoot on pavement. Immediately broke down, horrible shoe. Support vanished immediately. So disappointed.

I bought these shoes based on the recommendation from the Saucony expert. I told them I was looking for an all day shoe with arch support as I have very high arches. The shoes were ordered on March 24. I have had these shoes for only a month and the padding is starting to break down already. I cannot feel any arch support in these shoes. I am very disappointed.

The shoe fits well and is snug but the foot arch support is so bad for me. Arch support is not aligned properly for me and it is hurting while running. like I'm stepping on some big soft stone with every step I take.

This is my first pair of Saucony shoes and they look great but cause extreme pain when I run. I have taken them on two runs and the pain they cause is too intense too continue running in them. It is unfortunate but i'll have to go back to wearing my old heavily worn Hoka's. I wish Saucony stood behind their product and sincerely regret my purchase, I won't ever buy Saucony shoes again.

I cant believe you charge a return fee for shoes that don't fit in 2022.
