So, I headed over to A Snails Pace today in Laguna Hills, CA for some shoe advice and got all that I needed. Ended up test running in about 8 pairs with one of their staff members watching me closely. Turns out I run with the outside of my foot hitting the ground first which means I needed a shoe that gave me some additional inside support to level my platform. Glad I didn't buy another cheap-o brand shoe this time around.
Ended up buying the Mizuno Wave Inspire 2. I tried on some other shoes by New Balance, Nike, Asics and Saucony and these felt the best to me. I usually wear between a 11.5 and 12 depending on the shoe and he suggested the bigger of the two because of how much your feet swell while running. Can't wait to break them in and give them a good run tomorrow. Wearing them now around the house to help break them in a bit!

Nice shoes! I wear NB's and Brooks, I wanted a pair of the ones you had but my local store did not carry them. It's great that you support a local running store because they always have the best staff and normally sponsor local races so even if you pay a little more it is well worth it.
Yeah I have to agree. I am the same way with the mtn bike store near me where I bought my bike. I will continue to support them because they have been really great to me and have taken care of every need I have had.
