Not as firm as the OG Kinavara but the Nike Pegasus is a good firm option by today's standards. I found the Evo SL to be beyond soft and completely unstable for me. I like the Nike Vomero Plus and Asics Novablast 5. I use the Novablast as my firm option when I want it.
I would also maybe check out the Brooks Ghost models as a firmer option too. That was the main reason I didn't like them as I found them too firm for my liking so they may be perfect for you?
I run through a metric ton of shoes and I think people make too big of a deal out of which shoes to choose.
Have a few trusted models that you know fit you well and just hunt for whatever is on sale. Personally Boston 13 and EVO SL are my go to for everything, and Boston 12 and saucony kinvara are the only shoes I’d say absolutely fucking sucked.
But otherwise I’ll run in whatever.
Saucony for me, there shoes just seem to be right for me. Endo speed, Endo Pro and Triumph are all favourites. And kinvaras have also been favourite of mine
You can save a lot of money by buying last year's shoes.
E.g. one of my favourite shoes are Saucony Kinvaras and there's a local store selling last year's for $80.

Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.
