What's a good athletic sneaker for me to wear?

I've been researching a lot lately about shoes and the different foot types. What I've concluded is that I have normal arches (I used to think I had low arches) and that I'm an under pronator (which I'm very certain of). I've been looking for a good pair of sneakers to fence (epee) in. In fencing, stress is put on the entire leg. I've been doing it for a year now, and I tend to feel pain in my knees and ankles, if I feel pain at all (most of the time I don't, probably because I'm used to it now). I'm a female and I'm on the heavy side. I need a shoe that isn't to bulky. I tried using a pair of basketball shoes but they were too big and bulky and I ended up bruising my foot the first time I wore them. I also need a shoe that has good traction on gym floors. My pair of running sneakers right now (adidas Modulation) feel great, but lack traction on gym floors.
Please suggest somethings that can help me find a good shoe for a decent price (I try to stay below $70)

-These are a pair of shoes that caught my interest a while ago. No matter what I research though, I can't find a good answer as to if they would work for me: http://www.adidas.com/us/product/womens-running-adipure-ignition-shoes/CP197?cid=G61711&breadcrumb=1z13071&search=adipure+motion&cm_vc=SEARCH
Also, any ideas how to solve my ankle problems? The problem comes and goes; It tends to happen often when I run, or sometimes walk. It's only become a problem in recent years. I started noticing in summer of 2011. Thanks.

Answer
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as the best running shoe so any recommendations will only be the personal preferences of individuals who will not have the same foot type as you.

The "best" running shoes for an individual is the one with the design features that match the characteristics of your foot. Without knowing the characteristics of your foot, it is not possible to make any recommendations.

I strongly suggest that you go to a specialty running shoes store and let them check you and follow their advice.

What type of shoes should I purchase for Track?

One of the coaches for Tracks would like for me to do 400 if I do Track in high school so what brand?

A few helpful notes:
-The shoe must be a snug fit
-I could care less for fashion,designs,colors, ect.
-please don't get anything bright colored. I prefer all white or black shoes that are sold by Companies who know their customers
-A small heel or no heel at all (high heels work also)

Answer
You'll need two pairs of shoes, one pair of regular running shoes and a pair of track spikes.

I would recommend going to a running specific store because they can help you find shoes that are the best match for you based on your stride (pronation, heavy stike, etc) and your event.

Since you're doing the 400m would you also be doing other sprinting events or other mid distance events like the 800m? Theres different track spikes depending on your event. Sprinter spikes typically have no heal cushion at all where as distance spikes will have some support at the heel.

Check out this link to look at some spikes.

People always want to know what BRAND to get but honestly it doesn't matter. I've had new balance, nike, and adidas and they're all great. Just get shoes that fit you and your event, don't worry about brand.
