I know they aren't everybody's cup of tea, but I have a pair of Vibrams that I use for running/weightlifting. Most people don't like the idea of "toe shoes" but you want as little material as possible for running. The closer it feels to barefoot, the better on your legs it will be. There are also normal running shoes that are made of thinner/less material, not so bulky. But if you are planning on running on pavement a lot/running long distances, something with a bit more padding in the sole would help for absorption. (I hope that was somewhat helpful?):twocents-02cents:
my Nike Frees!! I have obnoxiously wide feet and they've never caused me problems with squishing. Also, they're really comfy and don't cause arch pain!
running shoes are very personal... the guy who sold me mine told me every person needs different shoes..
some walk more on the outer part of their feet, some more on the inner part... this amongs other things makes it really difficult to just pick point a shoe and say its great for everybody
i wore celtics when i used to run.. i tend to walk more to the inside, so after some tests that what he advised me
they're pretty tight, since i'm overweight i tend to open my legs a little when i run, the tighness prevents me to make an 'o' and screw up my lower back
the best thing to do IMO, is to go to a store where they are experienced with fitting running shoes..

Sauconeys or how ever they are spelled
They aren't 200 buckaroos but getting there. These are the jell heals and all that with the breathing fabric...FANTASTIC.
Super comfy lots of support cool on the footsies...love them
Had Nike Cross trainers...tossed 2 pais of them for 2 pairs of the Sauc's loved them that much.
Try the more expensive set with the lime green striping that's over 140$ well worth it and i wear these bad kicks everywhere sooo comfy and supportive and light

I've tried many brands over the years. I finally found New Balance and have worn them for the last 10+ years. They build shoes with different lasts to accommodate the various widths, arches, inside/outside dominance etc.. Once you have your type nailed down, its easy to re-shoe every year or so. They run around $100+/- on avg but I've found them for as little as $65.

I had vibrams, ended up returning them. My shrimpy pinky toes wouldnt fit right no matter what 
I have Nike Lunar Glide 3, I like them for running but I'll probably end up getting something from their Free line. The lunarglides were great when I was walking around a lot on vacation, and they are cushy and comfy, but VERY slippery indoors or on wet pavement. I also tend to roll my ankle a lot when wearing them because of the thick bottom. I'm sure runners would like them though.

Brooks and New Balance have been the shoes that have worked best for me over the years. Having said that, I agree with the previous post(s) that you really need to go to a store that specializes in running shoes. They will be able to watch you walk both with shoes and without shoes will be able to tell what shoe will work best for you. Some stores will even have you run a little on a treadmill so they can analyze your foot strike to better help you make the correct choice. :twocents-02cents:

I know most of the running shoes out there are extremely thin with no padding, but that doesn't make my feet very happy. I tend to hit the ground pretty hard, and it feels like running barefoot in those shoes - which is jarring and very uncomfortable.
The last shoes I ran in were extremely padded & supported (those idiot curved 'shape-up shoes', which I got for work as they were highly recommended for back support) and made my feet last forever.
Thank you all for your input! Everyone is so helpful here

I have Nike Flex (in grey & teal) and really like them. They're comfy and very light weight but I dd need an insole put in to support my arches.

I wear skater shoes for walking/running/general. They are very well padded, on both top and bottom. The wide tongue takes a bit of getting used to, but if you want to feel like you're walking on cushions, they really work well.
Brooks Beasts are best for my fat ass and wide feet... I periodically import them through a US drop box, and they are still cheaper than buying them locally in AU. They are very supportive, therefore heavier that many others. Have tried many other brands and types and end up with sore feet. If you are a light weight you can get away with a broader selection of lighter shoes I reckon.
But as everyone has said, a shoe is very personal. http://www.runningwarehouse.com has quite extensive info on individual running shoe brands/types and pretty often good prices. But it does pay to research.

if you click on the women's "shoe dog" - then "perfect fit shoe finder". You can enter in things about how you plan to use the shoe and any special accommodations you might need and it makes a custom list for you. I found this to be the best tool for me, living in a town where I can't visit an actual running store.
it even tells you how to test yourself for pronation (over/under) and how to tell if you have high or low arches. I found my dream running shoes with this site.
good luck girl!

Thanks for all the awesome input, guys.
I ended up getting Nike Free Run 3GS (yes, they name shoes like iPhones now apparently). I also bought aftermarket arch support insoles. They are both MUCH lighter than my old shoes but with a very firm support and decent padding. I ended up spending $105 after taxes for both the shoes and the insoles.
Here is a photo of the style (but not my color scheme):
