SUPERBLAST 2
Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I use the Saucony endorphin shift 3 for very slow paces , they are very supportive and not mushy/squishy given their stack.
I run the Novablast 5 too. For me it is a bit too soft but i like exactly that for shorter runs. My goto long run shoe is a brooks ghost 17. i need a bit more support on longer runs. That’s why i held back order some other blast model like megablast, superblast or magic speed. I also asked myself which Tempo shoe i should get and i just ordered a Saucony Endorphin Azura. I had good experience with the Endorphin Shift some years back. I think it‘s a good fit, but time will tell.
I have been using the Prime X or Prime X Strung for my 16+ mile runs the past few years, which are all at least a steady effort. Sometimes I'll use a retired race shoe (Deviate Elite 1, Alphafly 1) for runs with marathon pace, but the Prime X can also handle it. It mostly a comfort thing for me. It is just nice to not have my feet hurt at the end of the run. Prior to the Prime X I used Atreyu The Artist and the Endorphin Shift 1 prior to that. Those models don't exist anymore and I didn't find their successors as comfortable over long runs, so I have been using the Prime X for 3 years now. Not sure what I will use when I finally wear those out. Would like to try out the Evo SL and see if that works.
They’re my favorite! Coming out with a new version soon that’s lighter too.
I love the Evo after I wore out my Saucony Endorphin shoes. It took me forever to find a replacement because I didn’t like running in the new Endorphin model or the Nike Zoom Fly 6.
I’m shocked you want a shoe that’s good for wide feet and haven’t tried Altra. I almost exclusively run in Altra and brooks and save endorphins or adizero’s for races
