Running shoes for older feet

I have been through a number of shoes as I have continued my running career ( all 14 months of it). One thing I find, is that the shoe that used to fit, no longer fits properly.
So what is my advice?
Go to a true running store and ask them to recommend a shoe for your foot. make sure you get a 15 day running trial.
Then go out and run in it. I have just destroyed a pair of Asics, and they destroyed my foot, so I went back to Brooks. however, the Brook glycerin 9 is a good shoe but the fit is different this year?
So I am heading back to the store after putting 15 miles on these and finding all sorts of pressure points. My next try will be the Mizuno wave 13, I have red good thing about it? I will let you know after the next 15 miles.
the moral is make sure you can get a 15 day trial run in your new shoes, and make sure you use it. Take them back if they don't feel right.

take care and check back later
