hate shopping for running shoes!

[jessmarimba]

I'm not really looking for specific shoe suggestions, but I'm not sure what I should be generally be looking at.

I've been running - err, was running - in a pair of New Balance 904 trail shoes with quasi-custom orthotics. I overpronate standing still - my right ankle just rolls in, and has since I was, oh, 2? (Mom refused to make a toddler wear orthotic shoes.) I have feet that make PTs and shoe salespeople cringe! But I'm a midfoot strike, and I have absolutely no desire to run in a heavy clunky pair of stability+ shoes that also cost a fortune. Plus the heels are so built-up in stability shoes that a midfoot strike just isn't possible. Of course those are the only shoes the salespeople will bring for me to try on at the LRS.

Edit - also wanted to point out that I run slightly pigeon-toed and not duck-foot, so I'm not rolling through my arch as I'm running.

So would a more minimal shoe be ok? NB 100/101? Nike Frees? The old New Balances have been discontinued and I have no idea where to turn next. Just buy whatever's comfortable and wait and see if I end up injured?
