Saucony Tempus 2
A rare thing: a genuinely fast stability shoe. The Tempus 2 wraps a bouncy PWRRUN PB core in a supportive PWRRUN frame that guides the foot without a plate or a post. It lets overpronators pick up the pace in a shoe that still protects their stride, and plenty of neutral runners like it too.
