I am 34, have a slightly bad knee that has yet to be checked and I weigh a bit over 250 lbs. I want a good shoe for cushioning as well as minor stability. I don't do excessive distance, usually less than 3 miles but my knee can act up at times. (it swells for a few days) Not looking for medical advice just shoes please. Thanks.

Do you have flat feet/fallen arches man? or wide feet? I do, and I am into New Balance, for my money and for the shoe itself, I dont think Adidas or Nike compares.
Nikes tend to be a very narrow shoe.

Heavy runners have a tendency to get accidents extra without problems, as a result of the heavy influence on joints. Therefore, take a look at shopping the Asics Kinsais. It has plenty of gel, henceforth, reduces accidents.

Go to a running store and have them check your feet and knees. If you need stability shoes or motion control, they'll be able to tell from your arches, stride, etc. Most companies that produce running shoes (Nike, Asics, Saucony, etc.) have a shoe that should suit your needs.

You need to wear motor control shoes. Here is a page that has some brands/styles listed.
