I am thinking I probably need to go wider and softer and I was looking for shoe recommendations. My nearest running shop is over 20 miles away.

I ended up buying a pair of Skechers Performance. Really comfy and springy and I ran my fastest Parkrun of the year in them this morning. My feet and legs felt great afterwards
