An experienced physiologist who also runs will be familiar with shoe brands and will be able to recommend.
A physical therapist will be able to help you with asymmetries and muscle weakness and or stiffness.
All of these can hinder performance especially when trying to achieve a certain level within a certain time increasing risk of injury (mostly over use injury of the knees).
A good running shoe store with experienced runners as sales persons can be valuable too.
If all this is old hat my apologies
FWIW

Great info!! I appreciate it. I've already had some good luck with insoles, but it doesn't help all the way. So a physiologist is who I shall go see. Again, thank you.
