Thanks Steve, I'm doing my research now - I started out with some comfortable supportive trainers because I really didn't know whether it would last, but I think it's time to give my feet, ankles, calves, knees etc a bit more love. I had a good chat with my sister-in-law who is a personal trainer about it and my osteopath used to work for Nike so she's given me some recommendations too!
I was recommended to go to a specialist running shop where they film you running on a treadmill (just 20 seconds!) to see the pattern of your running and recommend shoes from there. I didn't realise there were so many considerations. Here's a search of runningproject posts you might find useful.
Lovely hut, too.

What do you run in?

Thanks Shani, yes I'd forgotten that was an option too, I'll try that out.
I've had assessments at various shops. I've had Mizuno and Asics shoes. They are not cheap, but I've not had any issues with them
