Puma magnify and magmax, Saucony Endorphin Azura (just came out), Novablast 5, Hoka Mach 6, (narrow foot friendly for sure), Tyr Maverick V1 are all lighter and protective but not mushy from my personal experience/research. The 1080v13 and v14 is also my go to casual/walking shoe and they increased the weight quite a bit from one to the other. But even then the 13 was a bit of a slog for me. I think modern trainers have the ability to pick up the pace and protect you on slower runs as well.
Can’t speak to the velocity but I have MagMax 2 and tried the Magnify. I have width issues in the mid-foot with some shoes. The Magnify was too narrow for me. The MagMax2 is wide enough. I believe the Velocity is similar or maybe even less width than the Magnify. So I would suggest MagMax2
They're most likely just going to hurt - they're forcing your foot into a position that may not be natural for it. The most sympathetic support shoe to lower arches are the Mizuno Inspire, but they're dull to run in.
Go try a few pair of shoes on and go with what's comfortable. You might be better in a more traditional drop (10mm); Brooks Ghost, Mizuno Rider, Puma Magnify are all great shoes.
Don’t overlook PUMA
6-1 230 and use Magnify Nitro, really well built and not too soft.
RIP to Salamon those things were tanks back in the day, they still make shoes but never found their niche on the road side and are all over the place.
