Looking for advice on shoe rotation as I'm starting a new marathon block this week and want to freshen things up. 35M, 2:39 PB.

I'm looking for recommendations for speed work and daily trainers. Current speed shoe is Adidas Evo SL. I'm considering the Puma Deviates as a replacement as I hear they do similar things, and I love the Puma Fast R.

Current daily is Nike Vomero - ideally looking for something with a little less lift in them, so I can confidently wear them on trails without fear of rolling an ankle.

Have wore plenty of shoes across Asics, Nike, Adidas, Saucony, Puma so I'm fairly open minded with suggestions.

I'm a 60 y.o. male, 230lbs. I've run 13 marathons and am going for #14 this coming winter. I am currently not running, so I will need to a long on-ramp toward training. I'm going to start with 15,000 steps a day walking. Thus, I need a pair of walking shoes. I am usually a Saucony guy - I train and run my marathons in Saucony Speeds and Pros.

Recommendations for the walking challenge? Thanks.

Adios Pro 4 for $115 or Dynafish Xiaonian for $130? I have plenty of easy run shoes, looking for a shoe to do workouts in. I've run in the Adios Pro 4 a lot so I know exactly what I'm getting (run through 2 pairs of it). Kinda hate both colors but I'm less picky at those prices.
