I'm not a fan of Nike shoes however that doesn't affect my answer.
Which of the pairs did you find most comfortable when you tried them on? Remembering of course that once you get a blister in them and it bursts you can't return them and so have to buy another different model that might fit better. Then there is the pronation issue - get the wrong ones and it is your feet, calf's, shins, knees or hips that will suffer as you run/.
So my only advice is to get to a specialist running shop and try on the various pairs you want and see which fits the best and suits your running style the best - here to find one that suits your running style the shop assistants will be invaluable with that.
Of course once you have done that it is up to your conscience whether you want to buy from the people who have taken time and effort to give you good individual advice based on how your feet and legs move, ir to go online to a faceless shop for what is only a few ££ savings, and of course in the process help turn your high street into a half mile long pound shop when the other shops have to close through lack of custom.. Ahhh modern life, I love it
-EDIT-
Sorry - I gave the other answer a thumbs down. If you read online minimalist shoes are not for everyone and take work to strengthen your feet, To suggest using them without saying that for the first month or 2 you have to alternate them with your regular trainers and not as a replacement for them and to run short distances in them in this time is not a good answer - buy them and assume you can do a regular long run the next day is asking for metatarsel stress fractures

Overpronation, running, and shoes?

I am just wondering if getting the proper running shoes can really help that much..
As of now, whenever I run my shins hurt so bad that I have to stop... I am looking for anything to improve my running experience and time.
I guess I should have added that I don't wear heavy shoes now. I do wear some light running shoes. I am just wondering if the type of shoe would make that much of a difference. (i.e. cushioning, stability etc..)
Unfortunately I do not have time to wait. I have been given one shot to pass an upcome fitness test.. I have to run the mile and a half in 12:30... I am 15:39 and have 3 weeks to get better. I will likely be getting shoes on Wed or Thursday.

Greetings,
I am no expert, but I am an avid runner and hiker. For me, shoes make a big difference. I believe the wrong shoe type for me can be hard on my feet, knees, and legs. You should determine your foot type and buy the proper shoes. Various shoe manufacturing web sites will explain foot types. For example, New Banlance and Asics have good information, but navigating the sites may be confusing. Unfortunately, you must know your shoes before buying them in stores because I have found most retail stores do not separate running shoes into categories of cushioned, motion control, or stability. The consumer must know that before hand.
Also, I found that wearing shoe to small and the wrong width for my feet has caused me problems in the past. Now, I buy shoes that give my toes room and I have had no problems.
It requires time and patience to find the correct shoes, but it is time well spent. Also, I have bought the wrong shoes in stores because I did not have the correct information, and thus I ended up suffering with the wrong shoes for me, until I could not stand to wear them one more mile!
Good luck there.
