I've only been running for a few years and haven't bought that many shoes. So far it's been two Mizuno and two Asics with Asics GT-2000 as the latest. I haven't had issues with any of them. I wear the Mizunos on the left as casual shoes these days, but the others still get used for running. I've not even got into trail shoes yet, but may need some. The first 3 pairs were all bought at shops that offered some advice. I'd be wary of buying mail-order as I need to at least try them on. These things are not cheap.
