I've heard so much good about the Tempus! Even though I'm a neutral runner, I'm considering them as my easy day shoe! Thanks for the fun and thoughtful review! Keep pushing!
Hey DevRunner! Thanks for checking out the review, and appreciate the positive feedback! The Tempus really is a great versatile shoe! Really interested in how they work out for you.
Love these 100 mile updates. I agree, the medial post on the Tempus is the only downside but it’s a great long run shoe anyway. I have found the guide 15 great for tempo runs or sprints.
Ah, back to the great intro music. Pumps me up, and it makes Old Man Van look like a young man running. I have the Tempus and have hit 75 miles in them. No issues for me, and they feel better with each run. They work out nicely in my 3 shoe rotation which includes the Endorphin Speed 2 and Endorphin Pro 3. Saucony is killing it for me.
I was thinking of you, Joe, when I put the video together!...I ran a 5K today in the Endorphin Pro 3 and hit another Old Man PR of 20:27!! They are AMAZING!!!
A few weeks ago I commented on your tempus video stating that my arch was hurting for days after my first run with them. You responded saying it would probably go away. It did! Now it’s my favorite training shoe! I just did 11 miles today and I feel great! Maybe I’ll try the guide 15 too. Thanks!
I use both shoes. I find the Guide 15 very stable for the tempo-run, just a little noisy. For the REPS I use the Tempus, really comfortable and light footed at the end of the workout. I'm preparing for the Milan marathon and I think Tempus will accompany me. I also feel discomfort under the arch of my foot, the left one. I will buy them again. Comfortable, responsive and fast. Sorry for my english very italian 😂
Your English is fine, my friend! Thanks you for the comments!.....Your usage of these two shoes makes a lot of sense, and I think the Tempus is an excellent choice as a marathon shoe. Stay tuned for my First Impression review of the updated Guide 16. Minimal changes, but a surprise improvement.
Tried both the Guide 15 and Tempus. Went with Tempus. Was really pleasant after 15miles (bought a week ago). Thinking of getting the guide after watching your video, which is going for US$95. Pity that colorways are limited for wide feet runners.😢
Thanks for the comment! Glad you're enjoying the Tempus. It's a great shoe! 👍 Also like the Guide as you know. Hope you find a colorway you can tolerate at that price!
I tried in the Tempus but did not buy it due to that high medial post feeling under my left arch. That arch is flat and the Tempus would have certainly caused pain. Hope they reduce that in future iterations and I will try it on again. Thanks for the update on the shoes and I would say spot on!
Thank you for the review. I am due for a new pair of running shoes and have been looking for one. The choices came down to Tempus and Hoka Arahi (my current pair) and have been waiting for the new models. I saw this review and another one on the new Guide 16 which you mentioned has minor differences. Out of curiosity, I search for the Guide 15 prices and found that I could get one at 50+% discount from you know who which is too good to pass up. Thus I ust bought a pair, and this is my first Saucony. Eventually, I will graduate up to the Tempus since you gave it a very good convincing review. Keep up the great work!!!
Hi, I’m currently in the Hoka Arahi 6 but I’m due an upgrade. Was considering the tempus, but now I’m curious to see what your thoughts are on the Guide 8 months on? I’ve got flat feet, so a nice supporting shoe is ideal, but one that doesn’t make me feel like I’m running in sand!
The arch support of Tempus also bothered me at the beginning. So I put a thin Superfeet running insole in it and it feels much better. However, after running with it for a few months, I don't feel the arch that much, even I switched back to the original insole. Maybe the foam has been adapting to my feet, maybe because I tried to correct my running form from heel strike to midfoot strike.
Hey Blue!...I do think the arch settles in over time in the Tempus in my personal experience. I don't notice it nearly as much now, but the cushioning and support hasn't changed much.
I have the same observations on my pairs, although on Tempus a hot spot creeped up on my right foot big toe on long runs so will go half size bigger on my next pair. Good tip on using shoe goo before it all wears out.
Good review. Just hit 100 miles in the Tempus (have not run in the Guide 15). The Tempus is perfect f. W For me. I do not notice the medial Powerun foam. Look forward to your 100 mile thoughts on the Kayano 29.
Great video..just subscribed to channel Saucony tempus is a,excellent stability shoe...ive always had asics 2000 series but decided to try Saucony and I've found Saucony tempus to be much better... much nicer ride altogether. 👍
Great review as always. Now that you've had more time with the Guide 16 and found it more versatile/softer than the 15, which would you prefer the Guide 16 or Tempus? I am between these two shoes as my daily trainer/long run shoe with either the Speed 3 or Pro 3 as my tempo shoe. I've tried 2 runs with the Tempus and love the ride but find the arch extremely aggressive in poking up at my arch which is making me look at the Guide 16 but I just need to know that they can go up to 18 miles down the line. TIA!
Thank you for the comments!...I have a place for both of these shoes in my rotation for different use cases. I love the Guide 16 for days when I need more structure, and it's more comfortable than the 15, but not sure if I would use it as an easy day 15+ mile shoe as it's still has some firmness. The Tempus, though, would be my choice if I could only purchase one. The arch has settled a bit, so not a deal breaker.
I've got the Asics Jayano 28, but was thinking of going for the Novablast 3 as an extra daily. But the Tempus is becoming realy tempting now. Never had Saucony, so that's a plus. Just a bit scared of the, imho, really rapid wear of the Tempus.
Hi Emily! Sorry for the delayed response. I would recommend the ASICS Superblast 2 as the best non-plated option, while the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 and Adidas Adios Pro 3 or 4 as plated options.
Spot on ! I nearly bought Tempus. However, i also felt something protruding to hit my feet from the spot u pointed. I m neutral...so i m not sure whether that part is for supporting a flat foot. At the end i didnt buy Tempus .
That's a great review, thank you. I've just updated my shoes as there was a great sale. I bought the Speed 2 for $68, and love it, but thought I needed a more stable shoe for my longer runs. I have very mild pronation and saw the Tempus for $86, so went for it. I do want to use the Tempus for some light off-road running as well, such as canal paths and woodland paths but am concerned about the wear. I have shoe goo; do you just smear a little over the surface at the back?
That's an AWESOME price for the Tempus!...As for wear, they're not terrible, but Shoe Goo definitely can help. I only use it once an area of the outsole starts to wear significantly. I actually use painters tape to create a frame around the outside of the sole where the wear is to the level of the original outsole height, and then fill in the frame with Shoe Goo to the original outsole level. Once it sets, I remove the tape.
Great reviews, OMV! 😊 I have flat feet and was looking for a pair for everyday walking (and maybe some running). I don’t plan to get more than one pair. I used Mizuno wave inspire 13 for 4 years now and they feel nice (mostly everyday walking) but the front outsole started to wear off recently. I read you said Tempus isn’t preferable for everyday walking. I’m looking for under $160 and I think you gave high rating for Guide 15, 16, Kayano 28, 30. (I could just find a deal for Guide 15 @$100). I dropped Arahi 6 as you mentioned Hoka is less durable. Which one would you recommend?
The Guide 15 and 16 would be excellent choices as the midsole and outsole are extremely durable. They are firmer than the Gel-Kayano series, and any of those shoes would would also work if you need more cushioning.
Thanks very much for the comment and question!...Of these two I would personally choose the Guide 15 over the Tempus for standing and walking. The reasons are the Guide 15 is more stable and the midsole is firmer but has enough cushioning.
I’m currently in a pickle, not sure if I should go for the Tempus or Triumph 20 (I don’t know if you’ve tried the 20’s). I’m a neutral runner but have been hearing some good stuff about the Tempus - I’m looking for a good comfortable, well cushioned shoe for my easy + long runs ( perhaps throw some marathon pace/tempos during my long runs).
Hey Mo!...Although I haven't tried the Triumph 20, everything I've heard and read points to it being a great shoe for your use! It's under 10 oz, and has great cushioning. Some have said it can handle up to moderate paces, but wouldn't be the best option. The Tempus can handle long distances but is best suited for uptempo paces. Personally, I would have both in my rotation. If I could only choose one, the Tempus is the most versatile.
Hi Van, well I’m now the proud owner of both of these pairs. Guide 15 are my go to running shoes. However, the tempus are still in the box at the moment. I’ve bought them in the same size as the guide 15s, but the Tempus feel more narrow. Did you find this at all? As I didn’t not want to commit to them if they are going to cause problems
Hey Dyingfly!...The Tempus is slightly narrower in the midfoot and toe box, but the upper is pliable enough that I didn't have any issues. For me, they loosened up a bit as they broke in. Your experience will depend on your unique anatomy, but if you can get a few runs in them and still be able to return/exchange if they don't work out, that would be great. Let me know how it goes.
Thanks for the review! I recently bought the Guide 15, but they get soaking wet quickly if there is minimum amount of water on the road. Do you think is normal or happened to you? Thank you!
Hey Sabrina! Thanks for the support!...As for the Guide 15, I've worn them in the rain, but haven't noticed them getting more wet than other shoes in my rotation. They are a breathable shoe, so water can and will get in. It's a trade-off.
I tried the tempus but I found discomfort on my right ankle. I felt that there was rubbing on my ankle. I removed the lace from the top eyelit and there was no issue except the laces coming off. Need help understanding how to manage this
Thanks for leaving a comment!...That's a tough one..There are two eyelets at the top with one closer to the ankle. I would need to know what you are referring to about the laces coming off and the specific eyelets you are using now.
I’m torn between the Guide 15, Tempus and even Hoka Clifton 8 (if you’re experienced with this one). Looking for an everyday, walking/standing all day, go-to shoe. I have the Saucony Endorphin Speed for actual running. Have wide/flat feet and like moderate support. Looking for the best bang for buck! Thank you!
Hi Eric! Thanks for checking out my video!....Of these three shoes, the Guide 15 has the most support and is the most durable, but is somewhat firm. I wouldn't recommend the Tempus as a daily standing/walking shoe. As for the Clifton 8, it is inherently stable and well-cushioned, but not a stability shoe. Also, Hokas are not known for durability....If max-cushioning and moderate stability is a need, another option would be the ASICS Gel-Kayano 29. If you're ok with a bit firmer (not hard, just firmer) midsole, the Guide 15 will last a very long time....One other option from Hoka would be the Arahi 6.
Overall, love the shoe! However, the outsole is ridiculously thin and soft. It wore down to the midsole in less than 200 miles. Shoe goo is the only thing keeping it going, I just wish I had started using it earlier.
Hola, se que ha pasado un tiempo pero tengo una duda en cuanto comodidad que le vendría mejor a un corredor de entre 80 a 85 kilos para entrenar y mi duda es entre las guide 15, las 16 o las endorphin shift 2 o 3?, puesto qué en mi país las tempus casi no las traen, gracias.
Yes, no problem. As a summary, my question was, Do you recommend the Guide 15 for an 80-kilos runner? They are comfortable, at least?@@oldmanvanrunning
That poking feeling of arch support it's little annoying but ok.. but i was on verge of blister after 5km n it happening on one fit only not on right foot.. shoes r great .. energetic bouncy stable.. but m not njoying it because of that rubbing under my arch .. :/ whats d solution ? Even i tried to loosen up my midfoot lacing but it's not working much
Hi Anuj!....It's really tough to recommend a solution as we're all different. For me, the arch issue hasn't resulted in a blister and has gotten better over time. Maybe use a piece of moleskin under your arch to prevent blistering, and see if the rubbing gets better over time.
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it strange that Saucony uses three different types of pronation control mechanisms in their various stability shoes? I wish they had a more cohesive strategy like Asics or Hoka.
I think they are trying to have different applications for different levels of need for pronation control. Some days I like more control and wear the Guide 15, while other days I want less and go with the Tempus. That being said, I agree it can be very confusing for the customer.
Hey Leroy! 👋 Clean the worn section of outsole with rubbing alcohol, and then spread the Shoe Goo on the worn section. I also use painters tape around the side of the shoe to make a frame to get the right thickness. Once cured, just remove the tape.
@@oldmanvanrunning Great, thanks, I just found a shoe goo video tutorial. Thanks for putting me on to this. Will extend my shoe life for another 100 miles easy
From one "Old Man" to another, your channel is rapidly becoming my "go to" channel for stability shoe reviews. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for the support!

Thanks Marcello! More to come!
im at about 80 miles on my tempus. i use it for speed work and shorter race paces and my outsole still looks absolutely pristine. love it!

So glad to hear the Tempus arch issue resolved itself, HelioSeas! You are very welcome. Enjoy the shoes!
This is fantastic to hear as I too have the arch issue after 2 runs in the Tempus. How many miles / runs did it take for the arch issue to go away?
@@JB-hq9yj it went away after two runs or so. I hope this shows works for you
Just ordered these for my newsest training shoes and your video made me feel confident about my selection! Gracias!
Hey Rob! Glad you found my video helpful. Let me know how the shoes work out for you!
Que tal funcionaron rob?
I was recommended the Guide 15 while training for my 1st half marathon. I def. love it! Need to check out Guide 16!
Glad the 15 works for you! The 16 is even better! 👍
Great review! Getting a pair of Tempus in the new year for spring marathon. Made my mind up! Thanks

Hey, I’d love to know what you recommend for the actual marathon race for folks who need slight over pronation support?
Hi Emily! Sorry for the delayed response. I would recommend the ASICS Superblast 2 as the best non-plated option, while the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 and Adidas Adios Pro 3 or 4 as plated options.
@@oldmanvanrunningThanks so much for the response!
Spot on ! I nearly bought Tempus. However, i also felt something protruding to hit my feet from the spot u pointed.
I m neutral...so i m not sure whether that part is for supporting a flat foot.
At the end i didnt buy Tempus .
Thanks for the comment, Kessarin! I do believe the pronounced arch is exactly for the reason you described. Many with pronation also have flat feet.
Awesome review. Thx!
Thanks for the support! 👍
OMV, great review as always. Do you think you could do a review of the Saucony OMNI 20 or 21 and compare them to the Guides or Tempus?
Thanks, Negasi! That's a great suggestion (Omni 21) as I will be in the market for another stability trainer in the next month or so.

After 400 miles, hardly any noticeable wear on the Tempus! Amazing.
Would a wide Version be too much? I buy only wide shoes, because i walk don't run.

Hi Anuj!....It's really tough to recommend a solution as we're all different. For me, the arch issue hasn't resulted in a blister and has gotten better over time. Maybe use a piece of moleskin under your arch to prevent blistering, and see if the rubbing gets better over time.
I have that problem with my Kayanos. I put a bandaid on my arch for any run longer than 10k and that prevents getting a blister.
@@juliae5639 That's too bad you have to do that, but smart solution!
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it strange that Saucony uses three different types of pronation control mechanisms in their various stability shoes? I wish they had a more cohesive strategy like Asics or Hoka.
I think they are trying to have different applications for different levels of need for pronation control. Some days I like more control and wear the Guide 15, while other days I want less and go with the Tempus. That being said, I agree it can be very confusing for the customer.
How do you use Shoe goo on outsole?
Hey Leroy! 👋 Clean the worn section of outsole with rubbing alcohol, and then spread the Shoe Goo on the worn section. I also use painters tape around the side of the shoe to make a frame to get the right thickness. Once cured, just remove the tape.
@@oldmanvanrunning Great, thanks, I just found a shoe goo video tutorial. Thanks for putting me on to this. Will extend my shoe life for another 100 miles easy
