Yeah, most running shoes under the $80 range aren't going to do your feet/shins/knees justice. I would say the best brands for running shoes are Asics, Brooks, New Balance, and occasionally Nike but Nike tend to run narrow so if you have wide feet like me they won't often do so well.

Like said above, go to a running shop, especially if you have a nifty one nearby that does Gait analysis so you can find out the level of support you need. That is really a huge consideration to make when choosing shoes. I'd also recommend buying quality insoles (superfeet) which will last you several pairs of shoes and will improve the quality of the shoe overall since most shoes come with shit, thin-ass insoles.
