Currently wearing the HOKA Clifton 8's for an everyday trainer and the Saucony Freedom ISO 2 for uptempo and speed work. Goal for the race is <6 min miles. Anyone have recommendations for a good racing shoe for the marathon? Thanks in advance!

Vaporfly Next% or Alphafly

Adios Pro and VF Next% 2 (or 1) are the best that I have worn. I guess some people are faster in the Endorphin Pro, but I do not find them as nice to run in as the Adidas and Nike equivalents. Haven't tried the NB RC Elites but I am sure they are pretty solid.
Make sure it fits well. I would also not wear a brand new pair of shoes for the marathon. Break them in a little bit before you race in them. See how they work for you in a 5K or 10K race. If they do well in those test races then they should be good for you in the marathon.
Good Luck!
Fastwitch or Type A. You need as much ground feel as possible in a marathon
I use Asic GlideRide for running.

Those are both legit
Nike Alphafly definitely!
Alphaflys are just a marketing gimmick. Dont buy them, no one wears them and those who do dont like them.
Buy Vaporflys or vaporfly alternatives.
Pick any good super shoe. I've used the vaporflys in 4 marathons. Nike used to be hands down the best, but some others are catching up.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
