Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.

I ran my first marathon in 4 hours 45 minutes in New balance 1080 v13. I highly recommend them. I tried the nike invincible 3 and novablast 4 in my long runs, but the 1080s were just perfect, comfortable and stable.
I would get the vomero 18 for being a nurse. The plus is much more of a running shoe. Nike Invincible 3 was an amazing daily walking shoe too.
6’1, 205 (was ~245 through training) my favourite daily trainers have been the triumph 21 (hated them at first but after ~50km they became my absolute favourite) still going strong 500kms in. I also enjoyed the Nike Invincible 3 (600kms in but they’re dead now)
I just got the Nike Invincible Run 3 for long training sessions. So far so good, but hard to tell because my quads and glutes have felt so cooked lately. I gotta get over this feeling, no pain, just heeeaaavvy upper legs.
I purchased the Vomero 18 with high hopes, but had to shelf them. My calves and shins were so sore after each of three different 5k easy runs. I’ve heard such good things and really wanted to like them, but figured they just weren’t right for me. I have run in the Nike Invincible 3 for past couple of years and been very happy. My understanding is the Vomero Plus has replaced the Invincible. Is there any reason I should give these Vomero Plus a try if the Vomero 18 didn’t work for me?
Not OP but I have 135km in my Vomero Plus and I just lace them normally, but the only shoes I've had for do a heel lock lacing for is the Nike Invincible 3 and Puma Velocity 2
