Boston 12/13 or Evo SL. I haven’t tried the Evo SL, but based on what I’ve read and your wants I think it fits the bill. The Boston 12 is on sale now, the upper is God awful, but it’s an awesome shoe. I think the 13 is a little softer.

Boston 13s are always on sale somewhere. ASOS have some listed at £98 so I’m just waiting for them to drop a 25 or 30% promo code

Check out my review where I compare the Boston 13 and Evo SL: [Here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/RunningShoeGeeks/comments/1lt3vo5/thoughts_on_the_boston_13_as_a_long_run_shoe_for/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

I rotate between 6-8 pairs, so I suggest getting at least two pairs. As far as what to suggest; running shoes are extremely personal. Everyone is different. I’ve been loving Adidas Adizero EVO SLs, ASICs Superblast 2s, Hoka Skyward X for those middle distance easy runs, Adidas Boston 13s for threshold work, Saucony Endorphin Speeds for threshold, and I also have a stable of race shoes (Nike Vaporflys, Alphaflys) for intervals and racing.

I’d go Nimbus 27 + Boston 13. That’s what I’ve been using lately and really like both but im not quite as fast as you are. You can get both on sale now.

I don’t have any stability needs but I find the heel of the Boston 13 to be pretty unstable. If I was a heel striker it’d definitely be tough to wrangle.

I run through a metric ton of shoes and I think people make too big of a deal out of which shoes to choose. Have a few trusted models that you know fit you well and just hunt for whatever is on sale. Personally Boston 13 and EVO SL are my go to for everything, and Boston 12 and saucony kinvara are the only shoes I’d say absolutely fucking sucked. But otherwise I’ll run in whatever.

I second this. Max stack trainer in a light weight and roomy shoe that you can pick up the pace in. I would also consider the Boston 13 but going 1/2 size up to check off your “roomy” fit. Or if you can find any, the ON Cloud eclipse is a good option as well
