I currently have a pair of Nikes but they haven't held up like I had hoped. I usually do about 10kms a weeks and have a mostly neutral foot position. I'm looking around the $70-80USD range. I've been told Asics are good.

Asics are my favorite b/c they come in so many different shapes and sizes to fit to your needs. they always have a lot of cushioning so your not pounding away at the pavement. i would also recommend saucony shoes, they are very much like asics in the styles and sizes they offer. i think that nike and addias are alright shoes but they dont really concentrate much on running as much as the other two companies.
i hope this helped.

My opinion is asics, but that is me. If you are serious about running, and plan to make it (or keep it) a part of your life, go to a specialty running store and have them find your perfect pair. Good running shoes are often made for specific foot types, as well as need. If you don't know what type of foot you have, you should really get it checked out. If you run too long in the wrong pair of shoes you are bound to get injured, or at the least experience discomfort.
Here is a link to some specialty running stores. If there isn't one near you, you can ask a normal sports store, or check your phone book. There are a lot more out there than are actually listed here.

Many women are finding that the Mizuno brand of running shoes offer some solid and durable shoes now. Check them out at: www.MizunoUSA and at most running stores. The current Mizuno Wave Rider 10 and the Mizuno Inspire 3 models have been given high marks by the Runner's World magazine. Both run about $80-90.

Brooks are the best for me. They are made just for running, and you can usually get them only at running stores. They solved so many of my running problems. Unfortunately, the colors are usually hideous. I've gotten over it, though, since they feel so good to run in!

I like the asics ds trainer. They are very light and are good for long distancers.

Go to a running store that analyzing your running style on a treadmill and get the shoe that is the best for you. several stores have treadmills and will provide this service.
