out there.

Before I started running I was laser focused on finding the best Nikes...just because I thought Nike was the default best... I haven't ran in Nike in over 5 years now lol...

Brooks & Mizuno have been my goto for a minute.
I found that lighter weight, lower padded shoes work better for me and result in less soreness in my legs. I used to have serious "skin" issues when I ran in heavy Nikes & New Balance.... The best way to describe it is that my legs & feet would start itching REALLY REALLY bad about 10-min into a run. To the point where I couldn't really ever get into it. The minute I switched shoes to Brooks Green Silence (RIP) all of that stopped immediately and my running has been great ever since.

Find a store with a solid return policy too! GOOD running stores will let you return worn shoes within a reasonable time.
