Recommendation for faster shoes for 3-10 miles

Question

I’m looking for a faster running shoe than my current puma forever run nitro. I love them but they feel heavy (and are heavy).

I run between 3-7 miles usually. If I find a lighter shoe, maybe I’ll go for a half marathon.

I have about 250 miles I believe in the pumas, and I will keep them as my daily trainer and only use the lighter ones for faster running days where I feel good.

I do have a torn meniscus in my knee but after PT and the pumas, it has been feeling better for almost a year now.

So i do value stability, but mainly lighter, faster shoe as I’m looking to improve times. I would say my average is around 8-8:30 min/miles, earlier miles are faster and later miles slower.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!
