“Hit the road” is a perfectly fine idiom, but when it comes to doing so comfortably, a solid pair of road-running shoes is an absolute must-have. Saucony makes many pairs of shoes, but it's best known for its light and cushy running lineup, and one of them is currently over 40% off during REI's colossal outlet sale.
Saucony Tempus Road-Running Shoes are marked down to $112 at REI, but the outdoor retailer is offering an extra 20% discount on purchases between $50 and $150 until April 28, so the actual price you’ll pay is a mere $89. That’s a $71 markdown, whether you choose the grey, blue, or black colorway. These shoes have over 300 five-star ratings, and reviewers are calling them a “great quality shoe” that’s “lightweight” and offers “excellent cushion and comfort.” They come in sizes 8 to 13, but they're starting to sell out quickly during the sale.

The full-length core of PWRRUN cushioning provides spring and energy return from the ground, with additional cushioning facilitating your foot going deeper into the footbed for a more supportive feel while running. The upper is lightweight, breathable mesh, while the midsole geometry provides a supportive base and great heel-to-toe transition. They also carry the American Podiatric Medicine Association seal, which means they’ve “been found beneficial to foot health and of significant value when used in a consistently applied program of daily foot care and regular professional treatment.”
One runner who has put almost 400 miles on these shoes wrote that “they are lightweight, comfortable and very durable,” with the outsole having “only a few signs of moderate wear” even though they’re a heavy runner at 215 pounds. They concluded that these shoes were “well worth the price,” a sentiment that we saw throughout the review section.

Another expert runner in the earlier stages of owning these shoes also raved about them. “'I’ve only had a few runs with this shoe so far, but this has to be the best shoe Saucony has made since the Guide 9, maybe even better,” they wrote, evincing an impressive knowledge of Saucony’s product line. “It's light, it's supportive, it fits well, the toe box is nice and wide, and my feet don't spill off the outer edge of the shoe,” they continued, adding that they “would keep buying this model as-is in new colors.”
Saucony Tempus Road-Running Shoes are great for running, walking, and everything in between. This deal will only last through April 28, and a few sizes have already gone out of stock, so don’t dawdle if you’re in the market for a great shoe for your summer fitness needs.
