Long run trainer: Saucony Kinvara
Regular trainer: Asics Gel Lyte 33 3s
Tempo/speed work: Asics Piranha
Race shoe 5k-half: Saucony Type A
rotate Hoka Clifton 4, Topos Ultrafly, Altra Torin 2.0 and Mizuno Wave Rider ( when I feel like I could use more of a heel toe drop). I was using Alta Escalante for speed work and races up to 5K, but tore my PF running a PR 5K last October > I think they are too flexible for my 52 yo feet
2 pairs of Saucony Kinvaras, different versions
1 Skechers Go Run Ride
1 Skechers Go Meb Speed
For races, an earlier version of the Kinvara that I love, even though the shoes had to be glued back together with epoxy after delaminating. Not sure how much longer I can use them.
All chosen as moderately light neutral trainers with soft heels for my Achilles tendonosis.

Interesting mix of shoes. I try and mix up drops too and with old feet certainly aim for stiffer shoes.
5km/10km Races — Adidas Takumi Sen 3
Half/Full Marathon Races — Nike Zoom Streak 6
Easy Runs — Adidas Pureboost DPR (got a Saucony Breakthrun3 lined up to replace it when needed)
Tempo Runs — usually the Zoom Streak 6 (sometimes the Takumi Sen)
Should’ve mentioned ... for easy runs (i.e. most of my mileage), I just buy whatever shoes I can get the cheapest on clearance at RunningWarehouse.

Do you have narrow feet? I'm a Brooks guy-Ghost, Launch 5, Caldera and recently tried Boston 6 basically at the 6 mile marker felt like arch (lateral) was really getting irritated
The Hyperion's definitely too narrow may try Asteria next...
