My PR was run in Next%, but I don't have an extra $270 laying around just now.

I'd go for endorphin pro 2 it's half off in some places
You can find deals on Vaporfly 2s (not 3s) at places like Dick's for $150-175. That's not much more than what your are talking about.
I got a pair of Nike Vaporfly for 80 bucks at the Nike factory store 14 months ago…priced down to 99 bucks and they were offering another 20 off. The color is an ugly orange but I can live with it.
i have bought a lot of shoes on EBay too. Pretty sure you can find what you need there too. I buy almost all of my shoes on eBay now. Have easily saved hundreds in the last couple years!
You have exactly $125 lying around but not $270?
Wear your old Next% or get an (unused) older model of Vaporflys off ebay.
Don't waste $125 on a non-supershoe. Even your worn out Next% is better.
Isn't eBay the home of Fakie Fly shoes?
What's the worry, aren't the Fakefly shoes proven faster than the real ones anyways?
Try ebay.
Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated. I'll look for some Vaporfly 2s, I'll check Dick's and online, and also check the Nike outlet that is about 20 miles from me. And I'll raise the budget a bit.
Check out running wearhouse sales. The New Balance super shoes is on sale at a deep discount right now.
OK, I bought a pair of Vaporfly 2 from Dick's online for $179 + tax (free shipping.) I went $54 over my ideal budget, but I know I'll be able to run several half and/or marathon races in them, along with a few key workouts, over the next year +.
Thanks again for opinions and suggestions.
