Marathon Shoe Recommendation

Marathon Shoe Recommendations

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendation on whether a race day shoe is worth it for my upcoming marathon, and if so which one best suits what I'm looking for.

Context:

\- relatively new to endurance running (have done a lot of sprint and strength training in the past)

\- 80kg runner

\- first marathon (in 3 weeks), have been training consistently for about 6 months with peak run 34km, about to start taper

\- current rotation is Novablast 5 and Vomero Plus, prefer the Novablast (so likely looking at the ASICS race shoes).

\- Time goal is a 4hr marathon, current training cruise pace is around the 5:40-5:50min/km mark so looking for a shoe that can help me sustain that pace for longer with less fatigue, not to push my race day pace much further.

Thanks!
