What you can do is go to a running store and get fitted for the proper shoe. Then go look online. You can usually find really good deals online. Right now I have ASICS Gel Foundation 8 and I found them online for $75, in the regular store they run $90-$95. Paying that price for a pair of running shoes (if you are serious about running) is definitely worth it.
I overpronate and these ASICS, I am finding, are really good for me. If you are an overpronator, you can always try a cross training shoe too. They have alot of support and cushion. My NB shoes were cross training shoes and they worked well. Better for shorter distances though, like up to 5-6, when I ran 1/2 marathons, I think I would've done better with a different shoe.
The shoe size depends on what shoes you are buying. I have had Nike and they run large so I was getting a 7-1/2, with the New Balance I had to wear a size 8 and with the ASICS an 8-1/2. So it just depends on the shoe as to what size you need.
HTH!
