When I was doing the Great North Runs back in the early eighties I used Nike, all others were too wide fitting, later switched to Reebok and have had same for last 20 years and can't falt them. No idea which model i have now but still Reebok.

Just about all brands including Hitech will provide sufficient support and cushion its more of a case of finding a pair that fits you well. I prefer a wide heel.

Main difference between brands will be the actual fitting and how long they will last. As I say Reebok have always served me well and very durable and as long as the basics are there I go for the cheapest.
