    When you go to the running store explain what your budget is and ask for suggestions. I have shoes that range from $90 up to $150. The cheaper ones are not better or worse than the expensive ones. They are just different (while keeping the same design that I need for my feet).

    Also I have custom orthotics which help correct my stride. How would that factor into running shoes?

    If you are going to get fitted for running shoes, bring your Orthotics with you. The typical interaction between orthotics and running shoes is to be fitted into a neutral shoe and to allow the orthotic to do its job.

    The danger is that an orthotic combined with a fitted running shoe can overcorrect an issue and lead to an injury.
