I'll be going to the local runner's store and having them check out my feet. Good info.

Very few stores actually do this. Fleet foot is the main store that evaluates your foot strike. They put you on a treadmill and tape you running and then play back and show your running style. Then are also more expensive than any shoe store out there, but you feel obliged to pay.

I would educate yourself more as even at those stores the store clerk may not know everything. When I went yrs ago he put me in a shoe for avg weight runners and I am 200+. There are shoes designed for clydesdale runners.

saucony, mizuno, or asics

Top three there!

GrayPatriot hits it right on the head.... you need to make sure you get the right shoe for your running style. While I did not get professionally checked, there are ways to do a personal check on how your feet land and whatnot (I would recommend professional). I recently switched from Nike to UnderArmor and I will never wear Nike running shoes for actually running ever again. (I have run since Jr. High and try to keep the mileage around 300-350miles per pair and this is by far the best pair of shoes I have ever run in.) Like GP said check out fleet feet, it is worth the extra money to get the right shoe for the right foot strike.
