"Got these for my son who is training for a half marathon. He loves the fit and cushion as compared to his most recent pair of Sauconys"
— Jon H. (5/5)
"Ran the NYC marathon, no major complaints, however, every water station (pavement was wet), there was significant loss of traction, had to be very mindful of my strides."
— Patrick C. (4/5)
"Having previously run through two sets of Nordlite Ultras I bought these as a daily trainer and medium distance shoe. Most of my running is road, track, and gravel so the Ultras were perfect. This shoe is road/track focused and excels in that application. I love the bouncy, firm feel of the foam and the toe box fits perfect. Probably the best all around running shoe I’ve ever owned."
— Miles C. (5/5)
"I bought these originally as a backup pair to put in my rotation for different types of runs and workouts. However, this has quickly changed and this is my go to pair of running and workout sneakers. I change up my rungs between roads and treadmills and they have been successful on both. I have had past ankle and foot issues and wearing these have helped ease my pain while also continuing to let me perform. The sneakers have a good amount of give, but also provide stability in my ankle as well. The quaility of the sneakers are also top tier, they have been able to take quick movements in my HIIT workouts and in sprints in different cardio workouts. This is my first time hearing of craft sportswear and using them, and this definitely will not be my last. I am so impressed with the quality and my performance. I have told my friends and family about these as well because of how impressed I am. -Grady"

"I really like the midsole, outsole, and breathability of this shoe. There are a couple things though that I don't really care for that keep the Nordlite Tempo from being a great shoe for me. The first is the tongue. It is a little too short and hard to hold on to. It also has a V notch at the top that allows the laces to come in contact with the top of the foot and dig in. The other issue I have is with the inside of the upper material. It is a bit rough to the touch and I can feel it rub even through my socks most notably on my little toes. If you don't have super sensitive feet this might not be a problem for you."
— Jeremy D. (3/5)
"The heel slipped badly and the shoe is just too firm in the fore front of the foot. Would not recommend"
— Logan W. (2/5)
"I like them a lot"
— Luke S. (5/5)
"Fun, responsive, and a beautiful blend of lightness and stability! These are just a few reasons why this is, quite honestly, the best running shoe I have purchased thus far. My feet are on the narrower-side and I have always struggled to find a light trainer that accommodates this. The Tempo has not only fulfilled this need but it has also given me a pair of shoes that I'm excited and proud to slip on for my daily run! They have become my go-to pair for any training session, performing excellently for both my short "tempo" workouts and my longer runs. A job well done, Craft!"
— Josh F. (5/5)
"This shoe slots in perfectly between the Speed and the Ultra. A great amount of response without a mountain of cushion underfoot. The heel collar and midfoot lockdown combo on the Tempo allow for a relaxed foot during longer intervals or up tempo long runs."
— Daniel M. (5/5)
"Good shoe so far! Break-in was nonexistent and are settling in nicely. The uppers are very comfortable and super breathable. Plenty of room in the toe box. Maybe a little tippy in the sole when you’re getting after it. But overall I would recommend. Think I might have found a new shoe brand."
— Kent R. (5/5)
