Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.

Nike. Specifically the Pegasus 39 Shield as these were incredible shoes, still wearing them nearly 700km later as walking shoes. Also Vaporflys obviously..
Hello, I've recently started running (3months) and have Nike pegasus 39 shield which I've used as a daily trainer as well as for my 10k marathon. Any shoe recommendations in budget around 5-8k which would help my shoe rotation & training. Any brand is fine for me. I was researching a bit and found that adidas sl2 are a good buy since they can be used for my race day as well as recovery runs if I'm not wrong
When the temp drops and slimy leaves are out I’ve been using Nike Pegasus 39 Shield. Those claiming the Pegasus trail are good for slippy tarmac don’t know what they’re talking about. The Sole compound is different on those and designed for light gravel/ roots and is actually pretty and on wet tarmac I find (i run Pegasus trail 4 for off road). For context dry/ summer i’m using NB 1080v12
I have a GT 2000 -13, Kayano 31, Nimbus 23 and Pegasus 39 (Shield). Nimbus 23 I use for training/outdoor walks as cushioning has reduced GT 2000-13 is my daily trainer + runner Nike takes the same place as GT2000 when I'm alternating. However I couldn't hit the sweet spot with Kayano, It's feel heavy for runs, too cushioned for training. How'd you suggest using the Kayano 31? I was actually planning to simply use Kayano as a sneaker/outdoor shoe. Bought it for 4.9k that's the only thing stopping me for using it as outdoor shoe.
Only difference between shield and normal is that shield is weatherized, Itll have water repellent coating, hence will have less ventilation and feels warmer. Soles will support trails, so more grippy Other than that everything else is similar. Pegasus 39 is old though, you could check other options!
I am using Pegasus 39 and Dynablast 5. Which one out of these do you recommend for a half marathon distance?
I also started in the Pegasus (version 39) but now use the Hoka Mach 6 and Adidas Adizero SL2 as my daily trainers. They’re both “uptempo” daily trainers that are lighter and more responsive, and can pick up the pace better than a traditional daily trainer. I find them more fun to run in than the Pegasus, and both can also be found on sale right now - my SL2’s were $57 CDN.
