Finding Good Running Shoes

As I posted elsewhere, I'm having trouble finding a good running store in my town. Through searching online, I found a great site that helps you figure out for yourself what your feet are, and then links you to Zappos to find appropriate shoes. The link is:

I think this may work well for me. Other people have described stores that actually have treadmills and helpful sales people who analyze your gait and who give expert advice, but I've not found this! The good thing about Zappos, too, is that there is free shipping both ways, and so you can order a bunch of pairs and run around your house with them!

Here's another good site, too, which lists brands appropriate for your foot and links to a way to compare prices:
