This thing is an island shoe. One of the "if you can only bring one shoe with you to a deserted island to train, which shoe do you bring?" shoes. It can do absolutely everything. Glad you finally snagged a pair. My pair were boucy out of the box but a little firm. Around mile 20 it totaly changed and the ride got softer and smoother, especially in the heel. Fantastic shoe
Also outsole grip theory: The harder the rubber = more durable = can be thinner + lighter. To get a grippy outsole you’re gonna sacrifice on weight or durability. Personally I think we’re getting carried away with weight and forget that shoes don’t last nearly as long as they used to. Bring back thicker outsoles fr!
Went to an outlet shopping centre this morning and couldn't believe what I saw. New Tempus shoes for 2394 THB ($65). I bought 3 pairs, happy to stockpile such a great shoe.
I bought a pair of Endorphin Speed 2's for $80 on Amazon, and while they arrived in a sketchy package and are a hideous color way, they are awesome for quality sessions.
Hahaha. I did the same thing. Bought the endorphin pro 2’s for $88 a month ago and just ordered the tempus for $80 as well. Being ok with ugly colors saves a lot of money in the long run!
Awesome! Thanks for reviewing the Tempus! Been waiting for this.. really keen to use for my upcoming marathon.. I need support and stability on my long runs. Tempus, Boston 12, kinvara pro,.. undecided.. Look forward to your upcoming comparisons!
That's really interesting about the weight discrepancy on the Amazon shoes. The Tempus got a lot of good reviews when it first released. It could be outlet type stock. And yes, shout out to Crocs. They're my go-to putter-around-the-house shoe. I've also seen quite a few nurses wearing the max stack Bondi Crocs to work.
I have regularly bought Puma running shoes from Puma website and all are pretty good except one (Puma Velocity Nitro 2) pair. The left weighs 239 grams and the Right one weighs 254 grams.
Yowana! Bro this is my current daily grinder (I’ve got flat feet), and man I have zero complaints. Used to run in Adidas Energy Boost 2 ages ago as a 10k racer so I’ve always been partial to boost style foams. Feels like it can handle running any distance and is relatively built to last. I’ve got 300k on mine and it’ll probably do double that ez. I love the fact that it doesnt get bottomed out at a slow pace. Would be keen to see how you find it at fast paces? Some intervals or smth. Love your vids been watching for a while and I’m a mad running geek too. Would love to chop it up some time! Gonna be sussing out some of those marathon training philosophies. Cheers man, Kav
I put 700 miles on an old pair of Ultraboost! Was my second pair of shoes after the Nike epic react. That's a great comparison for this - and good idea on faster workouts. stay tuned for that
the tempus definitely has better stability, so if that's a consideration at all i'd go tempus. still need to test on a 2+ hour long run though so stay tuned for that
Did you see that Adidas released the Adizero SL2? Also, for the new running hats, will there be other color options available? Such as white or grey base and black letters?
I’ve been looking at these cause I love my speed 2s (so fast, soft but bouncy) but the foam at the heel kills my ankle cause it sinks inward so can only do 2-4 miles. However, you mentioned the heel being super soft here.. did it still Hold your ankle in place though? That’s a big factor
Massive difference, yes. I own both the ES2 and Tempus. Similar feel in the foam, absolutely, but the EVA carrier (and medial sidewall) holds things together nicely in the Tempus. You should love it.
Hi mate! See, I understand your idea on not spending any money on upper updates. I think the same as you. BUT, in this case... an upper update in the Tempus IS NECESSARY. First of all, because it is not a good upper. It is way too narrow and rigid. And that's why it is also uncomfortable to walk with them (I know it is not design to do so, but you understand). With the new upper, it will be a complete new shoe.
Does this run narrow? I pronate but my feet are kind of wide as well. For instance Endorphin Shift work for me but the regular Kinvara (not the pro) seemed to run small for me.
@@proudbacteria1373 Yes, the only shoe I've tried that was tighter in the toe-box was the Puma Nitro 2; though I found the Deviate Nitro 2 in wide fitting, so that was fine. Even my ES2, which I thought were a bit tight, were far better than the T21
I sent back my Triumph 21 and bought the Tempus instead. Much better trade off and running feels a lot nicer and bouncier. In fact I also sold off my NB3 and preferred the tempus too
I also snatched a size 12 pair from US Amazon offer to Germany (was a way cheaper as on the local market). It is a perfect stability ground feel with my 190 cm/85 kg. Much better as with Ride 17. With the latter my feet float a bit by landing, causing the shins stabilizers to do a bit of extra work. I take it as positive for training, but for longer workouts or for tired feets the Tempus support is unbeatable! Rides are also much warmer, which makes them good for colder times, but not for summer.
can you do a video or two about what shoe or shoe rotation you would buy if you were just starting to run and train for a marathon. knowing what you know now. thanks!
My og endorphin speed v1 and endorphin pro 3 both are dangerous when running in the rain or on wet pavement. The rubber is legitimately slick when wet. I wish they would just go to continental or goodyear or Michelin and get some grippy rubber.
Absolutely love the Tempus. I did around 440 Miles on my first pair, had a tare in the front tip b/w the foams in one of them, fixed it up with some glue, and it still awesome. Also have another one who made half of that distance. I looked got a bit of stability, yet flexible and diverse and this shoe is just perfect for me as a daily trainer that can certainly pick up the pace.
Only watched this review 3 x’s so far. Trying to decide if this shoe is ok for underpronation. You said you only ran that neighborhood loop 200 times? Rookie 😁
Tempus is one of my favourite shoes. After 450 miles the foam has lost some pep, but they feel like wearing slippers so I'll keep using them for recovery runs. I checked the weight difference between left and right shoes, and it was only 5g, which isn't noticeable.
@@kavinmaharaj9070 All rubber is intact and has plenty of wear left! I'm a mid-foot striker and don't seem to put uneven wear on any part of running shoes. Even my Mach 5's are looking great after 100 miles (bought recently, along with some Mach 6 and ES3, so not getting huge mileage yet).
Hey man I just picked up the Grey and blue ones for 65.22 lol . U are a bad influence my friend. The last shoe I did this with was the Max Road 6. What's nextb???
I'm very tempted to grab a pair of these on Amazon right now, there's a colorway I like in my size selling for $70 and I have $40+ in credit. BUT I just bought a pair of Triumph 21s in a similar colorway, barely 20 miles on them. I also have the Structure 25s. I've heard you mention being disappointed in the Triumph 22s, did you try the 21s? Would you say there's a significant difference between the Tempus and the Triumph 21/Structure 25 or would they generally be used for the same purposes? I'm wondering if I'd be better off saving for a shoe for speed work despite the deal being so good on the Tempus right now.
I'm not sure if they are gonna still make the Axon shoe, but V3 is a very nice shoe..I got them for $70 and was surprised about the comfort..it will be too hot for summer running but it's more enjoyable than the pro4 on my feet..has that nice squish for my feet..it has XT-600 tread and looks like it may last a long time..ah the joy of mosquitoes..if you run fast enough they can't keep up..hahaha..
Would love to see a head 2 head of this shoe versus the Nike zoom structure 25, which I currently wear and like..but it feels like it bottoms out fast. Wondering if the Tempus will hold up better.
I never buy shoes off Amazon. I just don't ever know what I'll be getting. It is interesting that they may just get shoes that don't meet quality criteria. I did try the Tempus when it first came out, but it just didn't feel comfortable. To me it felt pretty restrictive on my foot.
18g different between the shoes….. Geeze… it means the sole foam are different density….that is so bad. At least they shoe pair them up with another pair of the same weight…. If your left leg feels a little more sore, you know why!! lol. 😂
My pair of Tempus (Hydeo/Poppy Blue colorway) from Amazon purchased at $90 a few months ago also have the weight difference and in fact my US10 pair is heavier than your 10.5: L - 298g, R-282g I bought discounted Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 and Pro 3 (2 pairs) from Amazon before and they do not exhibit such wide weight difference.
I realize this is not the place for this or that you may see it a month out. But your porch and sidewalk you spoke of the grime. If you will get some muriatic acid and a just cheap straw or brick brush after the acid stops foaming.. then rinse.. same acid they use in pools and your grass will love it. Just a tip from an old contractor who was looking for input on the tempest shoe. I also changed my mind on the color after I saw this video. On the page it looks very hum drum. But on yoru video. Like it very much. Thanks
Yeah 100p would be great for both of those! I walked in it yesterday and it's solid for that. It's a little on the firmer side for walking but very supportive and I imagine would be perfect if you're going to be on your feet for 3+ hours each day walking on vacation. If you're not going to run in the shoe, my top walking pick for cushioned comfort is the brooks ghost max. But Tempus is better for running
@@supwell I have used a couple different services and it works good but you might get a few stray mosquitos from other yards sometimes. I only use it from like may through September.
I don’t believe you need stability shoes, but do you find any benefit from running in them, especially on worn out legs? Also, I really wanted to buy these shoes but the arch was very prominent and I don’t know if that would bother me. I may look at them or the version 2 if they get good reviews.
Great question - honestly a lot of the neutral shoes have good stability now. Shoes like novablast 4 and even the plated racing shoes. But biggest difference is around the ankles and feet - I notice a difference for sure on the second run of the day when my feet are most tired. That's where I get the biggest benefit - feels like the extra stabilizing properties takes some of the burden off my ankles/feet
