Look for a running shop and ask them for suggestions about shoes. It makes a huge difference. There are so many differences in drop and cushioning it is surprising. I am lucky as a local store here is Hansens in the metro Detroit area. . They are local runners who train many runners around the country. Desi, who won the Boston Marathon a couple of years ago, was training with them. They are excellent to get advice from. They have a mat that you step on and it shows your foot print and the pressure areas. Then they can start looking at shoes that would fit your running style. They will also have you run on a tread mill in the store to look at your form. Getting the correct shoe for your style makes a big deal. You might find it is not so bad running when you are comfortable .
