Affordable, low mileage workhorse

Anonymous runner · Jul 8, 2023

4/5

Overall

As a former (way former, now) competitive runner I still occasionally get the creaky body.out for a shambling run, or more accurately very slow jog. The Lunar Tempo gives me decent cushion, durability and decent outside counter heel to deal with my slight, outward heel strike/roll. Decent shoe for not a lot being asked of it.

Lightweight, cushioned, and fairly flexible. Good for running fast or slow. Problem with blisters on the inner side of the food.
