Suggestions for good running shoes?

I have been walking 6 days a week for the last 10 months and have recently started running. I have been looking at new running shoes and was wondering what all you runners suggest. Your help is appreciated!!

    do you have a running store nearby? I love the places that have you run on a treadmill - look at your gait and then can recommend whether you need neutral or stability shoes.

    I'm in Saucony or New Balances

    Do take the time to get fitted at a specialty running store. After they analyze your gait, they will make suggestions for you. Don't worry about brand. If a running store carries it, it's a good running shoe. Try on the ones they bring out and pick the one that feels the best from those selections. Having the wrong type of shoe can lead to injuries. Make sure you are in the right kind of shoe from the start.
