Faster shoe for flatter wide feet

Looking for a shoe that is a bit faster than my current daily for speed workouts and potential 5-10k race day shoe.

I'm about 6 months into running and have been training for a half marathon next weekend in NB 1080v14 (US size 11 2e). Has been an extremely comfortable shoe and I love them actually bought another pair to rotate with.

I have done quite of bit of research and shoe trying but have not been able to find a faster shoe that fit my feet well. It has been a challenge as there are not many wide options for a faster shoes.

Looking for recommendations. Ideally $150 USD and under but willing to go higher if it's a durable good value. I am open to older models if it means I can get at a discount.

Shoes I have tried:

Adidas Evo SL in size 11.5: toebox felt good but mid foot was noticably tight. Seems like a really fun shoe.

Hoka Mach 6 size 11 2e: mid foot felt ok, still a little tight. Main issue was the toe box was too tight, rubbing on my big toe.

NB rebel v5 size 11.5: felt really good in store even without the wide size not available to try on. Was planning on purchasing but read about durability issues and now I'm hesitant to buy.

Saucony Azura size 11.5: felt ok wish they made in a wide, seems like a fun shoe.
