High arch HM shoe - training and/or racing

Question

Looking for HM training and or racing shoe recommendations for a high arch / slightly wide foot, 104kg/190cm runner. Midfoot striker.

I have a chronic sock folded under forefoot feeling that seems pressure related. Aggressive shoes and hard surfaces make it worse, while shoes with better midfoot support help a lot. It all started after two HMs with half a number to small Deviate Nitro Elite 3..

Hoka Mach 6 Wide works well for me. But is a bit harsh for longer runs. Endorphin Speed 5 feels too unsupported under the arch. Tried Neo Vista 2 in store and it felt very comfortable/supportive underfoot, though maybe a bit «boring»(?).

Looking for something for HM training with good energy return, but still supportive under a high arch and not harsh on the forefoot. The shoe it self does not have to be a stability shoe..

Considering:
Neo Vista 2, Mach X 3 Wide, Superblast, Topo?

Anyone with similar feet/problems found a good match? I am tired of buying shoes that doesn’t work.
