You can also look at this running store experience as an education. Ask lots of questions, see how the shoe you buy does for you. Once you tweak and get to know your feet, your running form, stance, etc. you will be better prepared to go into a discount store like Nordstrom Rack (or somewhere with last year’s models) or to shop on 6pm for a cheaper pair that is still of good quality. But you need the education first.

And, consider adding a second day a week for running. It’s hard to improve and be consistent on one run per week (I don’t know how you just up and did an 8 mile run if you haven’t been running regularly!) - even if you are younger!
