Affordable, low mileage workhorse

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.
