I am going to be investing in some really good running shoes soon and I need to know which ones are the best. =]

    no such thing.

    Go to a running store where they do gait analysis to find out what sort of gait you have and then you will know what type of shoe you need such as

    cushioning
    stability
    motion control

    as it depends if you are a neutral, over pronator/under pronator(supinator) which usually comes down to your foot arch type but only way to tell for sure is to get you analysed on a treadmill, only takes about 30 seconds of running and they will film it and then analyse how your foot stroked the ground

    Then when you know look at the shoes that are your gait style and find one you like and that fits correctly.

    Peace
