Answer
Well to every runner there's a different shoe, i can't tell you what shoe will be best for you, but you can if you go to a running shop, or see a peditrist. i recommend going to a running shop, (like dick's sporting goods, or another place like that) and talking to the specialist there, they can usually tell you a good shoe.
What matters in running are the width and the arch of your foot, some shoes have support for high arches, and less for low, or flat feet, all this will factor into a good shoe. As far a brands, nike asics, newbalance, adidas are all good brands, it just depends on the style you want and the arch of your foot.
good luck

What are some good running shoes for woman?

I have fairly high arches and some foot problems so extra cushioning would be a plus. Also, are those shoes that tone your body work at all? I have heard they put extra strain on your joints.
Answer
Ok...first things first. High arches indicates that you under-pronate meaning you need a cushioning shoe. My suggestions are the Asics 2150 & 2160 model, Asics Nimbus or Kayano. Brooks Adrenaline 10 or Ravenna, Nike Lunarfly and Lunar Glide.
Secondly...sorry to say, no there is absolutely no research to support that Sketchers Shape-Ups or Reebok's Easytone and Runtone shoes do anything in terms of muscle toning or enhance running performance in any way. The theory behind these shoes is that by landing on an unstable surface it sends a signal to the brain to contract more stabilizing muscles along the leg in order to maintain balance. Again, this is the theory and has not been subjected to testing by either shoe company. A woman came into Dick's Sporting Goods where I work as the "Running Specialist" with a broken Cuboid bone, a weight bearing bone in the foot, after exercising in a pair of Reebok Easytones.
There is however scientific studies conducted on the benefits of a more minimalistic approach. This however takes a lot of time and dedication to more to a more barefoot experience and something which I suggest with the warning of taking it slow. If you choose this route I'd suggest trying the Adizerio Sonic by Adidas or the Brooks Green Silence as transition shoes from a heel strike pattern to a forefoot striking pattern. One you can safely land on your forefoot for many miles I'd suggest trying something like Vibram Five Fingers.
Good luck and Happy Running
