Runs small. We recommend ordering a 1/2 size up from your regular size in other sporting brands.
The Alma Tempo is designed for the demands of harder sessions—whether that’s tempo runs, structured workouts, or sustained race-pace efforts. It’s a shoe built for everyday training with a performance edge. The foundation is the same female-focused fit that defines all Hettas footwear: a narrowed heel that stays locked without pressure, a rounded instep, and a stretchy breathable toe box.
The VeloPropulsion system in the Tempo uses a dual-density supercritical foam midsole to deliver a firmer platform that stays lively during repeated accelerations. The Pebax plate sits between the foams, slowing compression on landing and creating efficient propulsion as you roll forward. This tuned stiffness supports powerful efforts without overwhelming the foot or forcing an unnatural motion path.
Designed based on female-biomechanics
Smarter heel fit
Our nitrogen pocket heel locks the foot in place without pressing on the Achilles. By contouring the heel specifically for women’s anatomy with a lower ankle collar, we deliver a secure, stable fit that stays comfortable run after run.
Velopropulsion midsole
Layered supercritical foam paired with a Pebax plate delivers controlled impact, smooth transitions, and efficient energy return. Unlike rigid carbon plates, Pebax allows natural forefoot flexibility while still driving a powerful toe-off—reducing jarring landings and stress on joints.
Breathable upper
Women can experience toe splay, upward-angled toenails, and bunions, so we optimized the toe box through material choice. Our mesh stretches to accommodate toes—without poking through—and has memory, so it holds its shape.
By far the best road shoe I’ve ever owned.
