Which running shoes?

Hi,

I was hoping to get some suggestions. Right now I have a pair of Wave Inspire 15, previously I had Nike Zoom Structure 21 from you guys. Both have worked beautifully. Correct me if I am wrong, I believe these are considered neutral shoes. Can you suggest options you have in stock in the same vein as these two? I'd like to keep it under $150. I'm also thinking about picking up a pair of trail runners in addition to "basic" runners. Any suggestion in that category? Plenty of padding is more important to me than light weight if that helps. Thanks!

Update:

Tried to ask same question at local running store so copied questions from an email.  I realize this is not a running store.  I promise a best answer to anyone who feels like helping without acting like a condescending middle school dropout.

    Yahoo Answers isn't a shoe store. There is nothing "in stock" here. Contact your local running store, if they are open during this COVID crisis. For example, the running store in my town is open limited hours and by appointment only, to control the # of people in the store at any given time, to do what they can to keep people safe (social distance, etc).

    The Mizuno Wave Inspire is a stability shoe, per Mizuno's website description. Nike Zoom Structure is also a stability shoe, per their website description. You really need to be able to try on various brands/models of shoes to see what suits you best, as well as have your gait examined as you may be more suited to a neutral shoe than a stability shoe (unless you're wearing stability shoes due to having been gait tested and it being determined they would be more suitable for you).
