In regards to running, recommending a brand of shoe to someone is useless. It's like saying Toyota or Ford. Are you talking about the Tundra or the Camry? The Mustang Cobra or the F150?
Also, what model shoe might work for someone else is probably as useful as what their favorite color is. To make a a recommendation worth anything, one would need to now what type of shoe you want (motion control, stability, neutral etc).
Like others have said, go to varsity or another specialty running store and work with them.

if you're saying that you had the same exact pair for two years, there's your # 1 problem. Running shoes typically start to break down and lose support after about 400 - 500 miles.

i really havent ran that much though, but I'm sure they are completely warn out

Go to Varsity Sports. Let them watch you run and then go with their recommendation.
This, or whatever serious running shoe store might be in your area where they have foot-shoe knowledgeable people.
Anyone here who just throws out a shoe name without knowing your foot-arch layout, weight and stride is doing you a disservice.

I wish I could get that many miles. Due to my overpronation, I'm lucky to get 100 miles before the edges are worn enough to hurt my knees.
Switched from Asics to Mizuno last year, and have really enjoyed them. Here is the pair that worked for me:

Asics Gel-Kayano 20
I have a pair of these and they lasted about 1000 miles. I can still wear them but they have holes now.
Great shoe but maybe a little too pricey.
I got a $50 pair of asics that are not as comfortable, but good enough.
