I've worn Nikes for the past four years and have had a lot of injuries with them. I don't know how highu arch is or if I pronate, but what shoes do you recommend?

Obviously you don't know much about running shoes or even your own mechanics. Why don't you go to a running specialty store and get fit for a pair of shoes? It's impossible to recommend a shoe based on the information you have given us.

...because running shoe stores still use the old "high arch - cushion shoe, low arch - motion control shoe" model which is way out of date and according to some research, injurious.I don't set foot in "running specialty stores" anymore since they refuse to use evidence based methods to fit people.

You've found the wrong stores then.
Agreed with A Duck on this one. Also Mike, if you don't set foot in running specialty stores anymore how would you even know they are using that model? (Which I can tell you 100% the right ones aren't.)
If this isn't the right model can someone enlighten me on what is? This is what I have always thought was true
I actually know a lot about my own mechanics but don't put much faith in the measures that running stores typically use to assign shoes.
Basically I'm just actually what some good shoe models are or what a large proportion of people have had success with.
