Can't find a good running shoe

Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

Hi. I was just sold, by a person trained in fitting running shoes, and they are destroying my feet. The shoe is a Brooks Adrenaline 19. Its to the point that I can't even use them, and can't return them. I have high arches, pretty sure I underpronate, my heel is killing me and I have Achilles tendinitis. The shoe I put in my registration as my favorite is wrong. They wouldn't let me post none. I need to get back to my treadmill workout. This is getting me depressed. Any shoe or any other types of suggestions very much appreciated.

Thank you.

Absolutely zero way to determine what type of shoe you need over the Internet. Arch height provides little correlation to probation. However, if you feel that the Adrenaline is forcing you to the outsides of your feet, or you are having pain along the lateral sides of your legs/knees/ankles (IT band pain, ankle pain, etc.), you most likely should get out of a stability shoe. Try the Brooks Ghost, perhaps? Go to a running shop, first and foremost.

Stop running on incline completely until your Achilles problem is long, long gone. And you might not be aware but recovering from an Achilles is a long, brutal process. You will set yourself back an extra month or 2 if your rush it and run too much.

But you're going to want a maximum heel drop shoe like the Ghost or the one you're wearing to recover from an Achilles.

Higher drop shoe (12mm) alleviates tension on your Achilles. If you switch to an 8mm or 4mm or zero drop shoe, you're going to prolong your Achilles recovery.

Thanks everyone for the helpful replies. Working with a professional today, I think I will be getting a New Balance shoe (the 880, or something like that. Also, no more treadmill until I am better from current injuries. Thanks again.
