I hate running shoe companies never keep models for more than a year. I go to running store hoping to get new instance of my worn out trainers, which I like, and they don't carry that model anymore and I have to buy something different. These new ones make my feet arch too much.
Have you tried the Nike Air Pegasus? I have been wearing these exclusively for the last 7 years or so. I feel they don't change too much from one model to the next.
Jamin, have you cleaned your room yet bucko?
They sell replicas of the shoes they ran in the 70s. Go buy some onitsuka tiger replicas.
Why go to a running store to get the exact model of shoe you already have, especially if it's last year's model. You can just get it online.
That's why you find a sale and stock up on the model you know and like when the next version comes out.

Your heel pain is all in your head, which makes sense given how often you stick your foot in your mouth.

Grow a pair!
Well . . . maybe you don't need a pair -- having finally given up on women because you just don't like women.
I buy shoes a half size too large and put the sole from the olds shoes in them.
This way the fit is immediately perfect and I get extra cushioning.
jamin you need to walk. youre obviously burned out from sickness, pushing too hard or both. Go for long walks every day, preferably over hills grass and rough terrain such as trails. This will work your neglected stability and offer low intensity cardio that will prepare you to run fast again. The shoes might not be ideal, but youre beating your heels up trying to rush back to your former fitness. At least run on your toes, slow.
