Hi, Debbie
My podiatrist said he was reluctant to recommend any particular shoe, but to try different shoes until you find a brand that works best. Years ago, when I was running daily, my podiatrist back then (not the same one) was a big fan of Brooks Addiction. For the longest time, they were all I wore, and not for running but for going everywhere. But as I've aged (did I mention that I've aged?), I found the Brooks to be too heavy. I needed lighter shoes. I can't remember the different brands I tried, but eventually I came across Nunbush (through Zappos). They're not perfect. But then again, neither are my feet! LOL

Hello again, Debbie
I realized when I said that my doctor's suggestion was to "try different shoes" how terribly expensive good shoes can be! Like many of us, I have to watch my pennies. For all I know, my "perfect" pair of shoes may not be Nunbush. My "perfect" pair may still be floating out there in the ether. But I can't just keep auditioning shoes, not with today's prices. My Nunbush are pretty good, so, at least for the time being, I'll stick with them. If and when my PN gets worse, I'll go back to considering different shoes.
