Current rotation:

• Easy/recovery: HOKA Gaviota 6
• Short fast intervals (100–500m): ASICS Sonicblast

What I’m missing:

• a shoe for longer quality workouts / long runs with tempo sections
• workouts usually around 10–15 km total
• reps mostly 1–2 km at ~4:30–5:00/km pace

About me:

• male
• 82 kg
• midfoot/full-foot striker (not heel striking)
• flat feet
• wide feet: ~10.5 cm width
• stronger pronation when shoes have aggressive medial cutouts
• 30-40 km per week

VERY important:
I’m specifically looking for a plated/supershoe-style trainer/racer with:

• strong/aggressive ride
• good snap and propulsion
• stable platform
• minimal medial/midfoot cutout

Shoes with large inner midfoot cutouts tend to make my foot collapse inward and cause knee pain around the sides/under the kneecap.

Currently considering:

• Saucony Endorphin Pro 5
• New Balance FuelCell SC Elite v4 / v5
• Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro 3

What would you recommend for this use case? Especially interested in:

• wide-foot friendly carbon shoes
• stable supershoes
• shoes with full midfoot support / less aggressive cutouts
• good for midfoot strikers and heavier runners

Thanks for help !
