Advice on a more cushioned sneaker!!!

for2day

I need some help here. I have gotten back into walking again and I am on my second pair of Asics sneakers. The problem is, I feel that there is not enough cushion in the ball area of my foot or toe area. When I walk, that is where it hurts the most. I feel like I can feel the ground and I can't go the long distances, that I want to go (possible marathon next year!!!). So, I was wondering what all of you, would recommend for a well cushioned sneaker??? Thank you!! )
