might want to be aware that recent biomechanics research indicated that these highly cushioned shoes actually increase impact forces on the lower leg during running.

Also an increase for injury if you subscribe to the school of thought that impact forces cause injury.
ETA: The OP should go to a knowledgeable local running shop and try on multiple pair of shoes. Run up & down the sidewalk in front of the store. Buy the pair(s) that feel the best/ are the most comfortable to run in.
