PositiveAn overpronator with high arches who ran 900 km in the Tempus 1 says the Tempus 2, after a few runs, rides the same but is more comfortable thanks to extra padding in the heel, ankle and tongue. The midsole feels a little softer after going up a half size.

PositiveA forefoot striker running about 35 miles a week, with 750+ miles on the Tempus 1, says the Tempus 2 fits like a glove after a 5-miler. The midsole feels the same but a bit firmer, and the padded upper feels slightly narrower with a roomy toe box. Still one of the best stability shoes, and their marathon workhorse.

PositiveAn overpronator with knee and ankle pain who could only run in the Brooks Glycerin GTS finds the Tempus 2 better: lighter, more responsive, with a better rocker and a slightly wider toe box. It's a support shoe that feels fast.
