I had a similar experience, started running in Zoom Fly 4s and did my first half without issues. Signed up for a marathon and wanted a rotation and a specialized running shoe shop recommended me Kayanos and half a size up. They were boring and meh …
At the end, it’s all about trying and judging for yourself. Currently in happy with vomeros for easy runs, zoom fly 6 for longer runs and some Pegasus for intervals.
Once you have race used carbon plated shoes you can use those as trainers for harder sessions and have a fresher pair come race day. I like the Vapor Flys and thankfully they go on sale pretty often if you don’t care about how they look.
Running Shoes... I'm actually wearing my Pegasus Plus right now. It's great for walking around all day. I keep my Alphafly, VaporFly, Streakfly and Zoomfly for training and racing.
just picked these up the other day too, I’m pleasantly surprised by how comfortable they are after hearing how carbon plated shoes can be pretty brutal. but I’m realizing they’re probably not as aggressive as some of the top-tier plated options out there.

Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.
