Savage, punctuation and capitals are good things. Maybe using them will make your posts easier to read. Here is some advice on shoes (snipped out from another post I made a few months ago):
If you have not had a foot-strike or gait analysis done, get either the military physiotherapists or a reputable shop (Running Room is good) to do one for you to recommend shoes if a change in your footwear is required - even if brand new, the wrong shoes for your pronation pattern and weight distribution will injure you. If you can, go to the Running Room (10% discount for military) and chat with the folks there - someone may be able to look at the way you run and make some recommendations. I find the staff there to be usually very knowledgeable, ready to sell you the right shoe, not just the most expensive one.
If you can't run while you are healing, get on the elliptical runner, stationary bike and start swimming. You should balance these activities with each other anyhow and swimming is a fantastic way to stay whole-body fit, no matter how good a shape you are in. One method many believe is best to burn fat is the LSD - Long Slow Distance method. Work at 50-60% of your max heart rate (normally 220 minus your age will give you an approx MHR in beats per minute) for a sustained time of 40+ minutes per session. However, there are differing opinions out there - http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0846/is_7_24/ai_n13606403. In either case, sign out a heart rate monitor from PSP or buy one (Polar is the best brand I have found) which will let you make sure you are putting the proper effort into your workouts but not overtraining, and get one of the fitness instructors to work out a program for you. Do circuit training and calisthenics as well, and jump rope if you can based on your pain tolerance.
Look at this and other sites to learn more about the biomechanics of your legs and feet - http://www.drpribut.com/sports/sportframe.html.
There are lots of methods out there, but don't injure yourself needlessly. FYI I am a long-time runner with some fairly serious lower limb issues that cause a lot of pain if I don't take care of them.
I would not buy any shoes from a place like Athlete's World, SportChek or Footlocker, particularly if you are unsure of what you are looking for as the salespeople in these places are usually not very knowledgeable and they deal more in 'fashion' athletic shoes than 'real' runners.
If you are heavier and have an overpronation issues, you need a motion control or stability shoe, if you under-pronate you need cushioning. A lot of people do not have a neutral gait. Here are some good resources to read up on pronation/supination:

I find New Balance to be the best in terms of options, sizes including width differences and a lot of their shoes are stability/motion control. I have tried Brooks, Adidas, Fila and Mizuno, but sworn by New Balance shoes for more than 10 years now (with Mizuno a close second as a backup pair). Many New Balance models are particularly suited to heavier runners as well. Browse through the shoes under "motion control" and "stability" for a look.

Your shoes will break down inside and become worn out even though soles and outsides will look functional - depending on the amount you run, you may get as little as 6 months from a pair. My knees always let me know when it's time to start thinking about a new pair. You should try to overlap your shoes - when you get new ones, run in them a little at a time as they may give you blisters or some pain when you are first getting used to them. If you only run occasionally you will get more life out of them. It can be expensive, but with running shoes, if you have foot/knee/alignment/pain problems, you get what you pay for - you can run in $20 shoes from Giant Tiger but may pay for it in pain.
Best of luck, hope you can solve your problem soon.
