To add on to what Jade said above, I'd recommend heading to a running store near you if one exists (jackrabbit, Road Runner Sports, etc). It's important to know if your feet better fit a stability or neutral shoe. Lots of running shoe stores have devices that can help you figure it out. If you don't have a store nearby. There are at-home things you can do to figure it out that you can google (like bending down on one leg and looking at which way your leg goes).
But regardless, 10 miles a week is a perfect range to be in for any trainer that feels comfortable. Personally, I like Altras, but they aren't for everyone. On the flip side, I hate Hoka, and lots of people love them! Find a shoe that fits comfortably in a store and then go online and find a previous year's version for cheaper
I wouldn't use these for full distances. These are tempo shoes. I have them as interval trainers. For the full/double full, you'll want a cushioned trainer. You can go full out with the supershoes or a level down with the shoes like glycerin/ghost/adrenaline (depending on feet needs).

Anyone have these? Would they be good for general walking/gym shoes? Some reviews are pretty bad on quality.
They're pretty stiff and made for training (running). If you're looking for basic gym shoes, you're overpaying. You can get a pair of $40 saucony for that function. These are made for fast pace running sessions.

I am registered for an upcoming double marathon and looking for new runners to rotate. Hopefully these can help. 🤞🏼

Okay, maybe I'll need to actually go shoe shopping. I'm using ASICS Novablast that have a ton of cushion but seem to be too fast for long runs. Maybe I'll check out glycerin.
Really old tech (EVA midsole) on a newer shoe. They probably have warehouses full of these considering their ridiculous regular price of $150. Get the NB FC Rebel V3 on sale for a similar price if you're looking for a daily/tempo trainer.

What is the midsole made of on the modern ones that you recommend?

My personal favorite is PEBA. Brooks actually still uses EVA but they now inject it with nitrogen to give it more bounce and less weight. The new tech/foam being used in new shoes are sooo much better.

These shoes are fine (see: great) for marathon running. Source: I ran a marathon in them. They're one of the most comfortable running shoes I own. A Glycerin is just a training shoe; nothing wrong with running a long race in them, but the Hyperions weigh a fraction of the weight and are designed to save you energy. I don't know the level you're at, but if you're serious about the race and your time, these will serve you well!

What do you recommend for someone who runs 10 miles/week ? I've read good things about this and Asics Novablast
also look out for a Chase or BoA offer for 10% off for Brooks, but these are for relatively more experienced runners in shorter but faster sessions (like intervals). They are not super cushioned for faster speed and better response. Brooks also has a helpful shoe finder tool and you can see if you need the GTS version or not.
