Unfortunately, it really depends on your foot and will probably take at least 2,000 miles of you running in various shoes (at around 100 USD a pop). For me, I started with Nike moved to New Balance back to Nike there was a Brooks period in there but finally settled on Saucony Jazz. My foot is (or at least was) highly curved with a high arch.

A consult with a podiatrist might also help, but isn't necessary. Nike's motto sort of sums it up: Just Do It.

But shoes sort of break down/wear out at somewhere between 500 and 700 miles so get some new ones to start.

Wow. It's going to take me a long time to get up to those numbers 🥹 I currently walk and run for about a combined 3.5 miles a day. I'd guess about out of that 3.5 roughly 1-1.5 is running.

Honestly any shoes are probably better than my current ones. Thanks for the tips.

Brooks, New Balance, Saucony all good choices! Whatever works best for you! #running
