NegativeLoved the original Tempus, but lost two toenails running a marathon in the Tempus 2, which was far too narrow for them even though they don't have wide feet.

PositiveRated B+/A-. A light, stable uptempo trainer with a smooth ride. The forefoot is snug, and wet traction is poor.

PositiveSurprisingly lively for a stability shoe, with smooth support. At 315 g it runs warm, and the forefoot is narrower.

MixedA flat-footed 190 lb runner doing about 60 miles a month says the Tempus 2 feels the same as the original but fits more snugly. After a 10k and a few more runs, they find v1 more comfortable overall and wear the v2 less.
