Bottom line: go get fitted. The shoe that works for me or anyone else most likely won't be the same that works for you.
Edit: Something else that people never talk about…socks. I was shocked to see what a good running sock cost. Then I happened to buy a pair of Balegas in a discount bin and it changed my world. Now my wife says I have a sock fetish. I run on Balega socks, but my daily sock is the Smartwool brand. It's like getting a little hug for you feet on every step.

As for socks, injinjis changed my life. Haven't gotten a blister in probably like 10 years.

The end result is they should be able to tell you what shoes would work best for your foot strike. If you go to an actual running store 90% of the people working there are also runners. At least the places I go to are like that.
Word of caution: It is expensive to buy shoes there. I usually get fitted for a pair, then just find replacements online cheaper. You are supposed to replace your shoes every 300mi-500mi, so at $120-$300+ a pair (depending on what you end up with) it can add up quickly if you are putting a lot of milage behind you. A good example is my current Asics I got from 1st Place Sports ran me $130, but I live near an outlet mall and was able to get 2 more pair at BOGO for another $90. So I have 3 pair of the same shoe that should last me at least a year. At one point I was running > 50mi a week and replacing shoes every 2 to 3 months, so having a way to lessen the blow was essential. Now I am doing about 31mi a week, so I can make a pair last me about 4mo to 6mo before I have to turn them into lawn shoes.
