not Cathe but...
Your best bet is to head to your local running shoe specialty store and have your stride-running and walking-evaluated by a fit specialist. What works for one person may not work for another. Foot problems aren't fun and can lead to problems elsewhere throughout the body's skeletal structure. Did your podiatrist recommend any shoe brand or type? I live in the boondocks (kinda) and there aren't any specialty stores around...so I use roadrunnersports.com . They have "fit experts" on the phone or online and can help guide your choice. Also, if you join there VIP membership thingie...you get free shipping but most importantly you can run in them for up to 60 days and return them if not satisfied...important with running as what feels awesome in the store isn't so hot at mile 10!!!
happy running!
