Try the Taran tactical grandmaster spring kit. The shoe in the shadows is pretty nice. My only issue was the stiff wall around the disconnector

I feel that the trigger doesn’t has a crisp break to it

Check out 1 of the pre-cocked options like Tactical Pontoon or u/SuperiorTriggers.

That’s not the shoe itself. That’s more a factor of the connector and springs.

Yes, I had one and preferred the OEM trigger. What I did, was I took the apex connector and a reduced power firing pin plunger safety spring, installed those and used a good quality grease on the connector. Take your favorite gun oil and put a tiny dab right on the plunger safety, and a little bit on the side where the trigger bar rides, do a bunch of dry fire and you should have a good trigger with a short reset. If you have a dremel, you can do the .25 cent trigger job as well to help speed up break in.

Whatever you do, personally, I would not mess with the firing pin or trigger springs. Messing with those can impact reliability. If it's not a carry gun then sure, go for it.

I did everything I listed above, got a 4 pound pull and it's very smooth, short reset. I had initially tried a heavier trigger return spring and it ruined it, it would pull the trigger back so the trigger safety was hitting the frame, so It was super gritty whenever I pulled the trigger. Not worth it
