Supinators should be able to wear neutral shoes which means there are lots of budget options, eg nike pegasus.
I actually think Pegasus 39 helps contain lateral movement. Whereas a shoe like the Novablast 2 is a little too soft laterally combined with a stiffer heel counter medially. Despite having 400+miles and a medium stack I've really appreciated Pegasus.
React foam and upper will feel rigid initially for first 20miles. Like most Nikes they have decent waffle sole can handle mild trail. fwiw I'm 6'180, and rotate another pegasus 39, and may start with latest Vomero as they have that lateral control feel. Used to be a Brooks ghost runner but the 12mm drop was causing tendon pain.

Peg 39 is too curved laterally, lateral midsole shape is concave and will compress too easily. Lastly, the lateral flex grooves underfoot will also lend to excessive flex. You need a vertically constructed lateral midsole wall. You won't get miles out of Peg if you supinate. Think Dyad, Clifton, if you can find, or Brooks Levitate (polyurethane).

Sounds good, but actual miles running I experience otherwise. The concave construction absorbs impact while expanding at bottom laterally creating a post to curb supination. React foam is dense and resilient for the bigger runner.
One other underrated aspect especially in Vaporfly is the curved last providing a medial collapse which is encouraging pronation& preventing supination.
Hoka Clifton with the lighter eva and straight last is anti pronation. Brooks dyad gets the nod for tendon pain as it's too controlling not allowing to get even the slightest pronation leaving tight hips/runners knee. Levitate seems like a solid option because of resilient polyurethane and it's not straight lasted.
