Depends on how you run, some shoes are better than others for certain people. I've got high arches so I get shin splints real bad, I got my step analyzed at this running place and they gave me best match shoes. No matter what any good running shoe is gonna cost ya.

The one that fits you best. You have to go out and try them on. Wear them around in the store for a half hour or so to make sure they fit. Nike doesn't fit me, but Saloman fits me great. Just the way my foot is shaped. Don't cheap out! Your knees and feet are important. You can sometimes find some good stuff on clearance or on sale. Once you find a shoe that fits buy another pair. Switch them back and forth for running that way they will last longer.By giving the foam time in between runs to expand.

I'm partial to New Balance. But Sacouny, and Brooks are OK.
Go to a specialty running store. Wear a pair of shoes you currently run with when you go. They should be able to tell by looking at your shoes what type of runner you are and they will help you choose the correct shoe dependent on your style.
In my experience, when it comes to running you can't skimp out and need you to buy quality comfortable shoes.

Google "running magazine" the runners know the best information about shoes. My experience with buying a shoe has been bad. You read about a shoe, and how good it is for you. When you try to find that specific shoe its not available at the local stores.

I use Asics, but you have to find shoes that work for you. I would NOT go cheap on this investment. It is way too important to skimp on. It's the only equipment you need for running. Spend the $$$ and do it right.

when i started running i thought shoes were shoes, but after shin splints i learned you have to have the right shoes for your feet. you should be able to get pair for 70-80 bucks
