It took me a while to find the best Brand for me, but in the end I chose Asics and tend to opt for a wider fitting shoe because I run very frequently and long miles too. So as my foot gets hotter with the pounding, and it gets bigger, the shoes will not get too tight.
When you buy your shoes, you will need to make sure you have a 'gait test'. Some stores have a treadmill and video camera, to measure your 'pronation' or 'supernation'. This is whether you foot land flat (normal) or on one edge first and then rolls to the flat position.
If you have either type of roll, then you could be prone to running injuries. So all makes of running shoe can be purchased with a particular type of insole to counteract your natural pronation.
So my first bit of advice would be to go to a specialist running store and ask if they can do a 'gait test' for pronation.
Socks.
Seemless are best or you may get blisters. Plus you will need thicker ones for winter.
Laces.
Another important point most runner tend to forget is HOW you tie your laces. Too tight and they get very uncomfortable. Too loose and they feel as if they are slipping, and you may even lose them on 'sticky' surfaces. If not tied correctly they will also keep coming undone. The answer is NOT to double knot your laces.
I would suggest you put on your shoe, and then kick your heel on the floor to make sure your heel is as far back as it will go. Then study these pages on Runner World to see how to lace your shoes correctly.
