I might try AF then I liked them for speed in the 5k I tried them in I do like the feel of the VF narrowly though.

New Balance SC Pacer
As well as the SC Elite marathon shoe above, they are also introducing a low stack superfoam, carbon-plate racer, they say for 5-10k, but I know some on here prefer lower to the ground for all distances.

Are they stack or just lower stack compared to the new style shoes? With an 8mm drop I'm guessing at a minimum 20/28 stack which isn't that low.

They certainly won't be as low in the heel as the 17/20 of the Reebok Run Fast Pro that you've got

Got some AFs via the various sale options outlined on this thread. Thanks all. Pity I'm running the worst I ever have been, so now idea how much they improve me by.
