If you can, try shoes on later in the day (when feet are slightly swollen) and leave about a thumb's width of space in front of your longest toe. For long-distance running, comfort and fit matter more than brand.
If you tell me:
your foot type (neutral, overpronation, flat feet, high arches),
whether you run mostly on roads or trails,
and your budget,
I can narrow it down to the 2–3 best options for you.
