Saucony - Hurricane 25

I caught Posterior Tibialis Tendonitis (PTT) through a combination of high volume and bad orthotics, Saucony Guide 18 saved me. They kinda suck as a racing shoe but got me back into training really quickly (plus some physio of course) and while they are definitely my lamest pair of running shoes, I am forever grateful for them and every once in a while when I feel a little ache in the ankle, I do my next run in them. +1 on the Saucony Hurricane 25 which should be released soon and sound very promising. I also have Puma MagMax Nitro which I really love for everything easy, but it needs some careful fitting of my orthotics plus thoughtful lacing - get it right and they are super comfy & stable, get it wrong and every little niggle you might have will get exxagerated.

Given your stability concerns, I would look at the Saucony Hurricane 25. Excellent cushion and above average energy return. If you don’t need a specific stability focused shoe, I would give the Brooks Hyperion Max 3 a try. I’ve had mine for a couple months now and they’re great!

Hurricane 25 is a goated stability shoe

I also loved the Glycerin GTS 21, though I did have to size up a whole size and a half(normal shoe size is a 7, I have to get Brooks in an 8.5). My current favorite replacement is the Saucony Hurricane 25s. I also have to go up a size and a half in these. I have narrow, flat feet so I need a supportive shoe and these are great!

Saucony Hurricane 25 has mild stability and lots of cushion and responsiveness for long runs

Why not just get a second pair of Hurricanes- one for work and one for running?  

One pair of trail shoes Saucony Peregrines.  Workout/race day Endorphin Speed 4 and a new pair of Endorphin Speed 5 waiting in the wings when the Speed 4 kicks the bucket.  Daily trainer Ride 18 and Ghost 17.  Had the Ghost first, not exactly what I wanted, then fell in love with Ride.  I use the Rides a lot, the Ghosts more if bad weather (very secure traction in wet weather).  Hurricane 25 for recovery or easy days.  

I am also Saucony's best customer! I have Hurricane 25 for slow runs, Speed 5 for intervals and now Azura for daily and long runs. They will be replacing the Tempus 2, which I use for faster long runs and also HM. Also wondering if I should use Azura or Speed 5 for HM.

Everybody's feet are different, so that's a tough answer. I have collapsed arches and over-pronate, fairly severely with my left foot, and have had varying success with wildly different shoes. The key for me is a stable heel matched to a non-intrusive arch. I had to trial and error quite a bit with different shoes. I like running in the Saucony Hurricane 24 because it has a lot of good cushion, a lot of different stability elements going on, without having a traditional medial post. There's enough cushion that I feel protected, matched with enough guidance that I'm not moving/wobbling excessively anywhere. The New Balance 860v14 is similar for me, though it's less exciting and the arch-support is slightly more intrusive. I tried the Saucony Hurricane 25 on in store and they seem lighter and a touch more sporty feeling. The Saucony Triumph 20 oddly enough works great for me as well because the lockdown is flawless for me in addition to a stable feeling heel. I think a good, stable heel keeps my inner-ankle from rotating inward and is just enough that I'm not beating up my foot/arch. These next two are really oddballs for me and it took me years to even consider giving them a shot.  On a whim I tried a Saucony Kinvara 15 and Altra Escalante 4 recently and love them both.  I always figured this type of shoe would never ever work for me, but they do.  The light, low, firm setup is inherently stable and the ground-feel allows me to really focus on my form: not slamming my feet or heels down, running quietly is what I tell myself.  I think many shoes just have too much height and squish that allows too much movement for me and lower stack, firmer shoes leave less room for error.  The Kinvara feels both light and minimal but just protective enough at the same time. They also have minimal arch-humps so I never feel uncomfortable pressure there. I keep runs in these shoes less than 5 miles since they're on the more minimal side. Here are some that did not work for me: Saucony Guide 16: horrible, painful stiff medial post, slappy shoe New Balance 860v12: too firm, invasive arch New Balance 1080v12: insane instability Adidas Adizero SL2: I occasionally use these but they are very soft with minimal structure Topo Fly-lite 5: rock-hard, invasive arch support, wildly uncomfortable Brooks Adrenaline GTS 19: like running in a wooden clog 

I’m also also have the same issues with the Azura tongue. I end up just re-tying it based on how it is in the position after it slides down because it was annoying how no matter what I did it would slide down. The tongues in my other Saucony shoes are pretty different than the Azuras, so they don’t have this issue (EP4, Omni 23, Hurricane 25).

I have the same issue you do; from my experience, the Magmax always manages to keep me slow. It gets in the way of anything that requires speed. You could have a different experience, but out of the list you have provided, and I've tried them all aside from the Vomero Plus, the Magmax feels pleasant but cumbersome, so I keep it slow with them. Other shoes that play that role well are the Hurricane 24 or 25 and the Neo Vista 2. They have the same vibe as the Magamax; those are the models I reach for when I don't have the discipline to stay slow, so I require a shoe to do it for me.

Not necessarily the lightest option, but out of all stability shoes ive tried the Hurricane 25 feels the most lively and cushioned option for the marathon. Ive taken it down to 4:15/km without it feeling too cumbersome. The tempus 2, I had issue with the arch placement and how narrow the fit was. Would be problematic for longer distances imo. I have a work colleague who also had an issue with how narrow the shoe was for him. If you require a wider fit, id double down on the Hurricane 25.
